I was very embarrassed to eat here. Brought my family a few days ago telling them that its a very nice place to eat and after paying 60 dollars for food we got our plates and the portions were tiny. Imagine spending 60 dollars for dinner and leaving hungry again. I used to love it here but that was before they downsized like that. I will not be coming back here

Peaceful atmosphere, friendly service, food is par none, hands down best tasting savory chicken, cooked fresh& made to order, very well seasoned. Very clean! I placed an order, started eating it in my vehicle & had to go back in to order more!

Food was decent. Definitely not the best shawarma tho!! Unfortunately I found a hair in my garlic sauce container and my fiancé found a peice of hair in his meat. Looked like they were both from a beard. Gross !!

Food is ok , but customer service and atmosphere is very opposite. Everything is old , and sticky. Fat guy on the counter claiming himself as a “manager” is a lier says one thing and do other . Make sure you check your order before you leave and your bill before you pay . Multiple times they were charging me for more stuff than I order and when I asked for the refund “manager” said next time you come here which is ridiculous

First time. Excellent food and quick, friendly service. It’s mostly a takeout, sit down casual place so I dropped a star on atmosphere. Will definitely go back.

Amazing place. Nice people, insanely amazing food. I got the chicken plate and i was mesmerized. I hate salad, but even their salad was good. This is my new go to for post gym meal. The chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Never had such a good plate of rice and chicken

This little gem won’t disappoint you. The meat is fresh and high quality while the flavor is delicious. I could easily eat here several times a week. I accompanied my friend for iftar and upon arrival one of the owners or employees treated us both to a delicious homemade apricot dessert that was topped with pistachio. Andrea the woman who took our order was so kind and helpful. All in all you won’t be disappointed in the place. I would give shawarma express 10 stars if i could.

3 stars is solely based on service. The restaurant only had 1 clean table to sit at, when we arrived the lady getting off didn’t even greet us; she told us she was leaving, clocked out and left us standing at the front counter. We waited and finally a guy from the back came to take our order. The menu boards were not working. The lamb shank is AMAZING!! The half roasted chicken was also AMAZING! If the employees and cleanliness were as GOOD as the good, easily it would be 5 stars
