Tonight I ordered delivery from Dallah. I got a chicken shawarma plate with rice, spanakopita, and…read morebaklava. The shawarma plate was amazing. It was perfectly seasoned. The spanakopita was supposed to be for tomorrow night, but it's more phyllo than filling. I haven't eaten the baklava yet, as it's my snack for later, but it's always been delicious. Four stars

What's not to love? The service is great, the vibe is…read moreexquisite, and the kids love being able to see the coal fire cooking real food. PRO-TIP: don't touch the glass (it's hot). Before we go on, if you just stop here: the cold dip sampler is worth it. Do it. Our kids love the kafta kabobs and rice, and we went to town on the shawarma to make up for a bad shawarma experience a few days prior. Now the universe is balanced after we had an opportunity to enjoy shawarma the way it was intended to be enjoyed (thinly sliced from a vertical rotisserie, piled into a sandwich, and served prompt and hot). This is the food of my people (well, geographically adjacent people but it's close enough) and so when we don't feel like cooking, we gladly drive to Kababchi Grill for our fix. Oh, and if hookah is your thing: their sister restaurant shares this kitchen and offers hookah next door. The vibes are exquisite there, so check out Shisha Cafe if that's your jam.

The flavors are very savory and nothing we had was hot or spicy but had a ton of flavor. We ate there for the first time and had a great experience. The owners are a mother and daughter that are starting a new business and they do a great job with their new restaurant! We started with tea and it came served in really nice silverware teacups and a teapot, and that right away made the experience wonderful! For the appetizer, we had this dish which was a garlic eggplant dip that came with pita bread triangles. For the main course, we ordered the goat biriyani and it was SOOOO GOOD. I have never tasted flavors like that before. For dessert, we had the baklava and it was frankly the best I have ever had. The restaurant is very clean and we are going back this week for lunch.

Naara is one of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants in San Antonio…read more In business for a long time, Naara offers a wide variety of Mediterranean food, keeping the out authenticity of the flavors in every plate. The food selection is large. I would recommend you to look at their menu, but my favorite is the chicken shawarma plate. Every time I come here this is my selection. They also have pizza and they are very well known for having one of the best pizzas in town. With fresh ingredients, their food is just amazing. You will enjoy it as much as me. If you love, hookah, they have hookah service and you can enjoy it in the big patio they have. If you're looking for something more quiet, they have an indoor dining room and you can see there's always a students here doing homework or research and enjoying their hookah. They are located on I 10 and Wurzbach, and they have a large parking lot, you will also find in the same location a very popular Mediterranean market call Alibaba where you can find all kind of Mediterranean food and ingredients I hope you enjoy Naara as much as I do.

He didn't hesitate to give us some meat sample to try. I got the chicken shawarma wrap and the beef too. The sandwiches were stuffed! It comes with fries, coleslaw and pickles.

They opened up only a few weeks back so the spot is still relatively new to San Antonio, but this isn't the owner's first food truck! Turns out he owned New York Grill Express, a food truck I used to go to all the time near my house! Service is typically pretty fast, maybe 15 mins, which is typical for middle eastern food trucks! My favorite item here would have to be their mouthwatering chicken tenders. I just haven't had anything like it, especially with their special sauce! Definitely a must try while you're ordering from here! They're open late & right now they're parked alongside Sea Island Shrimp House off of I-10, but check out their page to stay up to date with wherever they'll be next! It's a food truck in a parking lot with no seating, which makes it a takeaway spot for sure!

I don't believe the overall experience warrants more than two stars…read more I kept seeing these amazing photos posted by Shawarmatee on social media, so we decided to drive out to their food truck on Friday evening. The truck is parked in the Shell gas station on the corner of Babcock and Wurzbach. There's space for about 5 or 6 cars on the side of the food truck. The menu is prominently displayed, and the area around looks as clean as one would expect a gas station parking lot to be. The gentleman taking orders and packaging the food was polite enough. I'm not one for overly effusive or disingenuous customer service. As long as you're not a jerk and the food and price are right, I can tolerate a bland interaction. We asked for details about a couple of menu items, but he kind of nodded while never answering the questions. We ordered the mix shawarma plate, two Arabi wraps, and an order of falafel, as well as a can of Coke, bottles of water, and a mango drink. It took about 15 minutes for our order to be ready, and everything was hot and well-packaged. He even threw in some extra tahini and garlic sauces (or what he said was garlic and tahini sauce). My kids said the Arabi wraps were fine. They didn't think the sauce had any garlic flavor whatsoever, and the tahini tasted more of oil than anything else. My husband and I both agreed that the beef included on our mixed shawarma plates tasted off. There's a sweetness that develops as red meat begins to turn, and that's the unpleasant flavor we detected when we ate our plates. The chicken, as many other Yelpers have pointed out, was beyond dry. It lacked seasoning and was throat-scratchingly dry. The salad was uninspired and lazy, and the rice was adequate. The falafel was broken and burned in areas, but had an overall good flavor and almost fluffy texture. I had to agree with the kids that the garlic sauce tasted more like mayo. We didn't finish our food and ended up going to an Indian food truck down the street to fill our stomachs. I feel bad writing this because this is an elderly gentleman, but I also don't think the feedback on the chicken and the quality of food is being addressed. We want to go out and feel we're getting our money, gas, and time's worth, and Shawarmatee failed to deliver on that. Instead, it feels like a cash grab from unsuspecting diners.
