    Chicken Shawarma Arabi with a bone I bit into while eating my sandwich.

    I had my order delivered it arrived on time. The Chicken Shawarma Arabi was pretty tasty. BUT while I was eating the wrap I bit into a chicken BONE!

    I had the pleasure of trying this halal food truck. This was also my first time trying halal. This bowl was interesting lots of different herbs and spices used. The black olives kinda threw me for a loop. The garlic sauce didn't taste like anything to me so the spicy was also the same. The meat was also a bit dry. The bowl tasted better on the second day after it marinated for a while.

    Notes: 1) shares a parking lot with the local business here 2) I have only seen 1 person working so may take some time to order and make but it's still pretty fast 3) can order online for pickup and delivery but I haven't tried it Pros: 1) pretty good food 2) service was great, friendly and fast 3) food truck, no seating but does have a trash can if you wanna eat there Cons: 1) some food was not the taste I was expecting 2) one person serving and preparing food but still fast service 3) not a lot of parking and no seating Rating: 4/5 I think this place is pretty nice. The worker was really nice in getting the order and also in making it. It was pretty fast and I couldn't believe that he was working alone to serve me and 2 other customers. The food is pretty good. I got 4 dishes to try: grape leaves appetizer, lamb gyro Italian shawarma, chicken zinger loaded fries, and chicken shawarma arabi. The grape leaves were sour and were not my favorite. Maybe it's made this way but I didn't enjoy it. The lamb gyro Italian shawarma was really good. My favorite I think because it's basically a quesadilla. The loaded fries with the chicken zinger was also good. Classic loaded fries style. I think the cheese sauce reminded me of cheese wiz so I didn't enjoy that as much but the other flavors covered it. The chicken zinger is fried chicken and it's good. Juicy, not too much batter. The chicken shawarma arabi was pretty good. The chicken shawarma was good and the arabi is just a burrito but cut into pieces. Less flavor than the Italian shawarma I think. All of the dishes had fries which were good. Pretty classic and reminded me of the ones you get from the market. The vegetable medley was cooked in a sour sauce which was not my cup of tea. I didn't enjoy it. Overall, it's a pretty good new place in BR. I would definitely try it if you're in the area. Grape leaves: 1/5 way too sour for me, inside was good tho. It was also cold Lamb gyro Italian Shawarma: 5/5 my favorite, cheesy and flavorful Chicken zinger loaded fries: 4.5/5 tasted like normal loaded fries with fried chicken but the cheese whiz was what I had to detract for Chicken shawarma arabi: 5/5 good, decent flavor Fries (that come with the meals): 3/5 pretty standard fries Sauce: 5/5 not sure what that white sauce is but it's really good, goes well with the whole dish Vegetable medley: 3/5 pretty sour as well but not as bad as the grape leaves. Can still taste the different veggies. The veggies also aren't cooked I don't think but that's not an issue for me.

    Friendly service. And very quick. To be honest was waiting to try this for so long finally took the gamble and it was lack luster at most the white sauce with the Sandwhich was very plain, no flavor. The lamb sandwich wasn't bad but they put an interesting pickle that takes over all the flavor everything else is very dense and heavy. Not terrible but definitely a bit disappointed and won't be back.

    Chicken Shawarma Sandwich

    Service was good and the price was rather reasonable. Good was made fresh and tasted wonderful. The sandwich needed a little something more in terms of sauce or dipping so I wish there wasn't an extra charge for sauce of any kind (not just extra). Food truck was near my house so it was very convenient.

    I ordered the chicken shawarma warabi, it came with fries and vegetables on the side. Everything was good and fresh. This was my first time ordering here will order again!

    Delicious, big portions, and the white sauce and rice is to die for. One of my favorite spots for mediterranean/greek! The only thing i would critique is the fries. Must Try

    My favorite is the grill tilapia with mushrooms, plate*…read more No matter what time we go to eat, no waiting, on time!

    Never thought I would equate Middle Eastern cuisine with Baton Rouge. But it's a cuisine that…read morecomes to mind when I think of this city thanks to this spot along with the stellar reviews that accompany it. This is one of three Albasha locations in the southeast Louisiana area. Thank god this location is near our field office in Baton Rouge which is where I was assigned to in early October allowing me to dine at this spot for lunch. The dining area spacious with plenty of seating. It does get a lot of traffic during the weekday lunch hours; probably cause of the lunch specials that are offered which we took advantage of. The menu consists of your typical Mediterranean eats such as hummus, baba ganouj, stuffed grape leaves, spanakopita (spinach pie), chicken/beef schwarma, lamb shank, moussaka, and kabobs (just to name a few). Lunch specials involve plates which include a feta cheese salad, rice pilaf, and hummus that accompany the entrees. Ranging from $14-18, this is quite the steal, especially during times like these. The Lamb Shank lunch I ordered was delicious with plenty of food that I had to have a to-go box to bring the remainders with me. The chicken shwarma and vegetable platter were ordered by other parties who both loved them. And we also started with the fried cheese which is served in a bed of olive oil and spices with some cucumbers, tomatoes, and olives. Very tasty, especially with the vegetable garnishes. I need to get another assignment in Baton Rouge so I can come back here again!
