Lebanese food truck in South Tampa!…read more I love Lebanese food, and so I had to check out Beirut Bites when I heard about it. It's on the corner of Henderson and Swann, lots of parking, and a small covered area if you want to eat there. I was the only person there for a Wednesday lunch. Hot food was made to order, so don't expect "fast" food. I ordered a kefta sandwich and an order of dolma. My food took about 15-20 minutes to prepare. I was given the choice of mayo or tahini for the sandwich (I chose tahini, obviously!). The owner does not speak English well, but he is very friendly. The food was good! Probably on par with Petra, but if you don't want a sit down meal (or don't want to deal with the parking situation at Petra), Beirut Bites is a good alternative.

Tried this new Lebanese sandwich food truck. This place opened about 5 months ago. My Palestinian…read morefriend (not in photo) said it takes like home. Owner/chef, Rafe was so kind and helpful in deciding what to eat. This was sooo flavorful and fresh tasting. I am so happy it's close to me because I will be returning happily! The portion is very generous and the sandwiches are so saucey and full of meat. The creamy sauce in both sandwiches reminded me of the 6 sauce in the French Taco from Cybel. The chicken msahab had so much chicken and french fries, pickles, and was perfectly encased in a fresh and soft french bread. My friend got a beef sandwich which is a better way of satisfying a hamburger craving. The fried beef balls (kibbeh) were also incredible with the garlic and tahini sauces. Just delicious.

But lus a lot of people who came in AFTER us were being served BEFORE us like what's up with that? Customers won't be happy with that and ya we weren't considering how long we already had to wait. Do a little better May's

I ate at this food truck for the first time because my church had a mini food truck lunch rally. I…read moreordered the Chicken Shewarma, which is like a pita or gyro. It was very tasty and a good amount of food. The only thing I would change about my experience would be for the fries to be advertised as a side so that we'd know how much they cost, since the price wasn't listed on the menu. When I grabbed some ketchup packets for my fries, the packets had dirt on them which was a bit weird. Maybe I got the bottom of the batch or something. But over all the quality of the food was great, very tasty, and I'd order it again! The pita was very warm and soft.

Up until recently, I've actually had a huge aversion to food trucks, but that has certainly…read morechanged. It may have been the fact that at my first job out of high school, folks called the truck that swung by the "roach coach." Conversely, it may be my binge watching of food network and their Food Truck Rally that has changed my mind. Either way, I'm very pleased with the fact that I've begun exploring these great little mobile sources of food pleasure. This food truck swung by work recently, and I have to admit I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to Middle East cuisine. The young woman taking the order was very patient and explained all the different plates, the variations available, and what came on each. Her top recommendation came for the beef shawarma and I told her I'd take it. One thing that folks have to realize is that these are mobile kitchens with very limited space. In today's age of fast food that seems to be sitting under a food warmer and being prepared long before you order, there is an unrealistic expectation that a food truck will spit your order out in a minute or two. I played on my phone for a while and was delighted when my name was called. The meat was perfectly seasoned and there was no skimping on the portions. The liberal amount of sauce on top added to the tastiness (and most definitely the messiness) of this dish. I'm hoping this food truck comes back soon. Not only for a chance to try some other of their tasty dishes, but also because of the friendliness of the woman at the window, and for how (relatively) quickly my food was served.

This place is seriously a hidden gem! Syrian Shawarma has some of the BEST shawarma I've had in a…read morelong time. You can taste the difference immediately -- the meat is juicy, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor, and the bread comes out warm and fresh. The portions are generous, everything tasted fresh, and the garlic sauce is absolutely addictive. Every bite has that authentic Syrian flavor that's honestly hard to find. The staff were welcoming and friendly, the place was clean, and the food came out fresh and hot. You can tell they actually care about the quality of what they serve. If you're craving real Middle Eastern/Syrian food, GO HERE. Get the shawarma, load it up with garlic sauce, and thank me later. Definitely one of those places you try once and immediately start thinking about when you're coming back. 10/10 -- I'll absolutely be back!

The waiter was very busy but very kind and helpful. We ordered right away and got hummus with pita bread, Chicken shawarma wrap, babaganoush, falafel and tabouli salad. The hummus was some of the best I've ever had, so creamy, nuttiness from the tahini and very fresh tasting. The shawarma was very good and perfectly spiced. The falafel was also amazing. The tabouli salad was very fresh and bright with citrus and light olive oil. The restaurant was very clean, nice and inviting. We will definitely be back!

Opening a business is hard, but the stuff they did have was exceptional. The hummus! So delicious- a family recipe that goes back over 40 years! With a salsa on top. Very unique.

I would have loved some type of garlic yogurt in the side but it was plain. Still very flavorful and good portions. Will be back for sure.

Middle Eastern and Brazilian dance music pumping from the central speaker, and the owner's friendly service, make this a lively late night option. About 15 min wait at 10 pm on a Sat, then we took our goodies back to the hotel just a block away to enjoy. My beef shawarma pocket featured fluffy pita and the beef was tender - next time I'd ask for extra pickles, as they helped cut through the Salty richness. Just wish that this truck sold lamb, as that's my all time fave shawarma filler. Offspring liked his beef Philly cheesesteak, and we both enjoyed the crinkle cut fries.

THANK YOU LOKESH today and everyday for the kickass food you serve!!…read more The Twisted Indian Food Truck is one of our TOP FIVE FAVORITES! Our typical Saturday includes a visit to their food truck at the St. Pete Saturday Morning Market held at Al Lang Stadium. We typically order the ALWAYS DELICIOUS Chicken Tikka Masala. My boyfriend orders a Bollywood Bowl and it is the Naanwich for me. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a wimp when it comes to spicy foods. The spice is perfect, and my mouth isn't on fire. Lokesh and his staff are ALWAYS so very friendly. Lucky for me, we have become friends due to our frequent visits so I don't seem like a stalker anymore. Ha ha!! Their brick and mortar location located at 2639 Central Avenue WILL BE OPENING SOON! I plan one being one of the first people through that door even if it means I camp outside prior to the GRAND OPENING!! Kidding, not kidding Lokesh! :D
