Mr. Shawarma

Came to Birmingham for a show and found this gem in the Five Points area. Parking can be tricky but I thought this place was definitely worth it! The men behind the counter were very nice and patient and their falafel was the best I’ve tasted anywhere in the southeast. Their chicken shawarma was delicious as well, especially with the garlic sauce. We’ll definitely be back to try more things!

Fully authentic experience, not a cheesy copy n paste setup. The food was wonderful and true to its roots, the service was responsive and genuine, a kid took my order, couldn’t have been any older than 13, the room was appropriately decorated with middle eastern fashion in a tasteful way that wasn’t over done. And they appealed to a western audience with their menu while not deviating from their source. Mr Schwarma is the stuff.

Me & my sister went here for a shawarma bowl bc we seen a tik tok . The food was great definitely a 10/10 but the customer service was iffy . I don’t know if it was because they had just opened but Mr. Osama has a nasty attitude. He didn’t greet us & he was kind of rude . We stood at the register for about 10 mins before he decided he wanted to take our order . The other guy had to step in (idk his name but he was nice thank you ) . Osama for sure needs to work on his attitude . We also was 2nd in line & he gave us our food last after we had to ask was what taking so long. He made us feel very unwelcome

Definitely one of the best shawarmas I’ve had. It’s a good size, packed with plenty of chicken and a generous amount of garlic sauce. I think they serve mayonnaise on the side (or maybe it’s more garlic sauce?), but either way, it’s absolutely delicious. The price is pretty reasonable too. The only downside was the service — it was really slow, even though the restaurant wasn’t busy. I ended up waiting nearly 45 minutes for three shawarmas. Not sure if that’s the usual wait time.

As a Turkish guy, I have to say that Mr. Shawarma truly delivers an outstanding dining experience. The food is consistently delicious, capturing the rich, authentic flavors that make Middle Eastern cuisine so special. Every dish I've tried is packed with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced spices, making it a real treat for the taste buds. But what really sets Mr. Shawarma apart are the desserts—they are absolutely top-notch. From the moment you take your first bite, you can tell these sweets are crafted with care and expertise, offering a perfect blend of sweetness and texture that leaves you wanting more. Whether you're finishing off your meal or just stopping by for a sweet treat, the desserts here are a must-try. Overall, if you want great food and exceptional desserts in one plac
