El Genio del Shawarma

Someone said, "Have you ever tried shawarma? There's a shawarma joint about two blocks from here. I don't know what it is, but I wanna try it." so I got the chicken & steak. The food portions are large, the flavors are good, & they have a Sauce Bar... Don't get me wrong, the shawarma flavors are good, they don't need sauce... but I can't resist experimenting... Corn, garlic, spicy, & BACON... let's be honest, bacon tastes good even on a chrome bumper (if you're in to that sort of thing...) but I'm not so sure this is a meal that needs bacon. Don't know, I could wrong. However, the garlic & spicy add a whole new level to the shawarma... an amazing level... & the corn really goes well with the falafel... I will say this, I think my falafel was a little over fried, still edible though. An

Seriously delicious. Was visiting Florida for the theme parks and by the end of the entire trip we honestly still think this was the best food we ate the whole time. Kind staff, cute atmosphere. Great portions. 4 stars because the wait time was a little too long probably 25 minutes. But that could've just been the day. Definitely a revisit!

OK, so I’m from Ottawa, a city that prides itself on being the Shawarma capital of the world outside of Beirut. Most Shawarma I get outside of Ottawa is horrific. El Genio del Shawarma is a very notable exception! The flavours and sheer variety and freshness of the food is unmatched. Great value and a really lovely vibe. I especially loved that they’re open late too! Even the most grizzled Shawarma connoisseur will approve of this most delightful culinary experience!

I'm full-blooded Lebanese. Grew up eating shawarma too many times to count, both in the U.S. and in the Middle East. Stop slapping together pita bread, extra salty chicken, and some "garlic sauce" that's not even close to toum (the sauce was more cilantro than garlic lol) and then calling it authentic shawarma. It's not authentic. It's not even close to traditional shawarma. Chicken was literally lacking half of the seasonings traditionally used, you guys had my ancestors are rolling in their graves across Lebanon. Not to mention actually calling yourselves Lebanese in the UberEats categories should be criminal. Just please categorize yourself as only Venezuelan, because at least that would be honest. Also, you guys list that you put "tabule" in the shawarma too. Who taught you guys how

Amazing experience!! The place is so comfortable and the food is delicious!! Ariadna took care of all our party. We were a group of more 20 and everything was extraordinary
