Ordered the Shawarma Deluxe wrap. DELICIOUS!! Very friendly and fast. Will be back again. Love the rice also.
Vegan and vegetarian options are delicious. They are a family business with a desire to provide great taste that is prepared in a clean healthy way and is beautifully presented. The service is very personal and helpful. They love explaining their food. This location has dining room that is spacious and clean. I really love it and want others to support them so they can stay open at this location.
I absolutely LOVE the falafel - it is the best I've ever tasted! The baklava is also super tasty so I recommend saving some room for dessert. Their house made hummus is very delicious with the pita also. The staff is super kind and helpful as well, and they keep this place super clean! Highly recommend!
This is a female owned, small business. I haven't had anything I don't like. If you want Mediterranean food, please give them a try. The food is delicious! The service is great. Keep in mind, every order is made fresh. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice. They have all modern convenient fixtures. Needless to say, it's a very clean restaurant.
I am someone who grew up on very European cuisine, so I don't have much history with Middle Eastern food. That being said, I ordered a Shawarma Bowl, which I personally believe pairs pretty well with an orange Fanta, and it was divine. Our cashier was very friendly and our food came faster than I was expecting. Not only that, the restaurant is super aesthetically pleasing and there was a really cool game board at our table. We only got through a single fast game of checkers before the food came, to give you an idea. Added bonus for serving to us in reusable plastic containers; now we have more tupperware :)
First time with "fast food" version of middle eastern cuisine. Kebabs were good and the falafel was so yummy. Hummus was basic but fresh and pita was soft and warm. No complaints on any of that. The shawarmar rice bowl was pretty okay and would have been better if the rice wasn't quite so dry. I think they need more folks in to help keep the cycle of fresh food moving. Slow business means food sits a little longer and can dry out. Cleanest restaurant I've ever been in and it's clear they have a set routine for keeping it clean nonstop. The woman working the counter was pleasant and at one point came out with a fresh order of falafel because she said it was over cooked the first time - I disagreed but happily accepted her offer - falafel was my favorite of all the dishes we tried on this visit. Visit and let's help keep this little gem around for awhile.
I love this place! I used to go to the one in Midtown but moved out here and hadn't been since. I was so delighted to learn they opened up this new location! (I've only ever done drive-thru.) The food is great, prices are super reasonable, and the service is always so warm; it seems like they really enjoy sharing their craft with the community. I enjoy their falafel wrap and shish tawook wrap (with no fries), but would love to get something new and try a bowl at my next visit. It's a little tucked away, so I really hope they're getting the business they deserve! If you're looking for Greek/Middle Eastern cuisine, give this place a shot!
Doesn't look like much from the outside, but FOOD is great. All hand prepared. Authentic Saudi Arabian cuisine with drive through and dine in. We had Kabob, Falafal, hummus... all super tasty. We're eager to come back and try something new.
I was on my way home from errands and was just gonna get Panera. I recently moved here so I've been exploring all my food choice. I was driving by and saw Shawarmar! I got a kabob bowl and some Dolmas! So freaking delicious. Flavorful and moist amd just everything I missed from Denver.
