Customer Reviews
That one star given above is⭐ was (-1), NOT even 1 ⭐. Waitress was rude, not interested in her job and 150 seating restaurant was almost empty except one housewife. She charged me for the stuff she didn't bring and I didn't use. Beef & Chicken schwarma was almost cold, not hot. No sauces except a ketchup bottle and stale hot sauce. With a lunch platter, even bread was not free. When challenged, she said she can bring them for me to take home. Worst experience although inside decor was nice. I think their revenue comes from other sources as this way, they might go belly up soon. Recommend NOT to try. Not a BYOB place.
I tried this place for the first time and was genuinely blown away. The chicken shawarma was perfectly seasoned, super juicy, freshest pita and was the crispiest shawarma i’ve ever had. The sauces were delicious and balanced especially the garlic sauce, which was creamy without being too strong. Muhammad was our waiter and he was so friendly and gave us an amazing time. The restaurant was clean, welcoming, and had a great vibe. If you love shawarma or just want a great meal, you have to try this spot. I’ll definitely be coming back!
👍 Highlights Delicious, authentic Middle Eastern flavors—shawarma is juicy and perfectly seasoned. Great for wraps, platters, and fresh toppings like garlic sauce and pickles. Fast service, generous portions, and fair prices. Laid-back, casual spot—perfect for takeout or a quick meal. Solid vegetarian choices like falafel and hummus. ⚠ Things to Keep in Mind Seating is limited, and the atmosphere is basic. Can get crowded during peak lunch and dinner times. Some dishes pack a strong garlic or spice punch—might not suit everyone. Not the best option for big groups or full-service dining. 🎉 Bottom Line Baba Shawarma nails it for tasty, satisfying Middle Eastern food. Ideal for a casual bite, takeout, or when you’re craving bold flavors on the go.
I ordered the beef shawarma and it was honestly amazing. The beef was flavorful, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly, and the whole wrap was put together really well. Muhammad was super welcoming and made the experience even better with great service and a good attitude. If you’re coming here, I’d absolutely recommend the beef shawarma. I’ll definitely be back.
