Top notch hummus, baba ghaboush, crispy falafel. The beef shwarma was highly rated by another member of the family with kudos to the white sauce. The gentleman who was cooking and running the show was very professional, friendly and polite. If he is the chef then we applaud his expertise in presenting a new favorite for this family. Thank you Tasty Mediterranean Grill for a terrific take out dinner. We shall definitely be back!

Fell in the bay a handful of times, went for a swim and afterwards got hungry for anything vegetarian adjacent. Google mapped foodies nearby and found this cool group of food trucks spot. The owner was super friendly and welcoming. There is a chill patio set-up and we ordered delicious falafel wrap and fries. Yummy! I'm having the other 1/2 of my wrap for bfast tomorrow! The neighborhood is questionable so grab your food and head out. Hehe Thanks for a wonderful vegetarian meal here in Tampa Florida! The food trucks remind me of First Friday in Venice Beach back home. Luvvv it the relaxed vibes and good eats.

Hands down the best shawarma in Tampa, even after few days in the fridge still tastes AMAZING.read more

Shawarma Elshami is a middle Eastern cafe located on 56th Street adjacent to the Outback…read moreSteakhouse. It is in a orange plaza with mostly medical businesses. There are 6 tables inside and two outside for done in seating 24-30. It is a bit cozy inside. They offer Shawarma in both beef and chicken and either "loose" or wrapped in pita with some vegetables. There are combos that add fries and sodas. I got the Beef jumbo combo for $17. The shawarma wrap is cut in half and is about 7-8 inches long if not cut. The fries are fresh and hot. They give you 2 tablespoons worth of white garlic sauce which is nice. I used it for both the wrap and fries. They only have sodas from a company called Matrix. Apparently,it is an Iraqi company located in Jordan. I tried the "blue" one since it appeared to be the default. It tasted like a standard Coke but with 20 percent lime flavor added to the formula. I liked it but your mileage may vary. The soda is 8 oz not 12 oz like here. There are also some pickled vegetables included. The wrap itself is very tightly wrapped and stable unlike the very delicate Chipotle burritos which threaten to bisect themselves at a moments notice. The beef is fresh and spiced though not spicy. The pita is crispy which is different from other places in Tampa which is nice. I would recommend dining in if possible. There is plenty of parking and it is open Sundays. It is closed Mondays. It is not a quiet place with many kids running around so keep that in mind. I'm not a super shawarma expert but ths is one of the better establishments in Tampa and is a good value for the money.

So when I was done with my haircut, I walked right into the restaurant. Immediately, upon walking through the door, I no longer felt like I was in Tampa, but transported to another country. The walls are full of imported groceries and specialties. The place was clean, spotless with a homey feel to it. The service here was great and they acknowledged me right away upon arrival and gave me time to make my selection. Well, I wasn't SUPER hungry, so I went for the gyro pita and a side of the cucumber, tomato, onion side dish seasoned with some mint to round it all out. All the ingredients here were fresh, the pita was hot, and the gyro soft and bursting with flavor. When I was finished, they thanked me for stopping by. Definitely need to come back here and get myself a bigger plate next time! I notice they had some tasty Persian desserts.

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.

The water tasted very metallic and like straight unfiltered tap water. Our food was very bland - my boyfriend ordered Chicken Tikka Masala (their namesake) and it tasted like campbell's tomato soup.

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. Then I had the falafels. I really loved those! They were packed full of flavor and chopped onions. The wraps were next. I preferred the beef but they were also very delicious. 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.
