The chicken shawarma is my absolute favorite. Friendly staff and delicious food. 5 Stars every time I visit.

Idk how this place has great reviews. The food is very mediocre in my opinion. The first thing the girl asks us is if we have ever had middle eastern which I thought was funny because clearly my boyfriend is Iranian he looks like it!! Then a soldier dressed in uniform comes in after us and she's like "oh you've definitely have had middle Easter right" I was like wooooowwww!!! Lol anyways we always have all types of middle eastern we are familiar with kabobs and wraps and rice and shwarma!! So we get the lentil soup and hummus and a chicken shawarma wrap hmmm and falafel. I'll start with my least to favorite. My least fav was the falafel it was pretty dry and overly fried, the chicken was way too salty and too much lemon, the soup and hummus were amazing though!! Not bad at all. The chicken wrap wasn't terrible it was just overly seasoned maybe that day I'm not sure. The lady was yelling the orders way too loud like the cook wasn't 3 feet away from her I mean seriously. Idk we have had sooo much of different middle eastern food and maybe there's just not many of this type of food here in Pensacola. We are spoiled we go to Los angelos a lot where middle eastern food is super prime so I won't be too harsh. read more

My husband and I was in the mood of trying something new. We were hungry and ready for anything at this point. We drove by and did a turn around. Needless to say this place did not disappoint! Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. Being out of town I was fine with having leftovers; especially from Mr.Shawarma. It may be a hole in the wall but it was a very warm and inviting place. I can't wait to go back and try something new. Falafel was great! Hummus....omg yum! Mine and my husbands sandwiches was really really good! read more

The inside was clean, staff was nice, and food came out quickly. I got Chicken Shawarma, Dolmades, and Baklava; it was all good!

Shawarmas from here are a perfect pick me up for a long day. The smell of the chicken alone makes you start to salivate. Well seasoned food and comes out fast. The falafels are delicious, but can be a bit too sharp for some people's taste. It is definitely a place to try and come back to. read more

We are from out of state and where we are from we have amazing places like this! We are so happy we have a good shawarma place to order from again! The garlic sauce was amazing. Chicken, rice everything!! I only wish they had a tabouli salad but other than that it's delicious!! read more

Great place! Great food, nice service, clean restaurant and restroom. Hummus and pita were on point! Falafels were authentic and yummy! Chicken shawarma was delicious and fries too! Baklava YUM! They have a cute photo booth spot. It has a wonderful ambience. They have "to go" too. Their decor is beautiful. It's a small area, but it's a new restaurant, come on out and support them! read more

Great restaurant, food is always good and they are always pretty quick even when they are obviously busy.

This spot honestly was disappointing. I expected more flavor and spices, but ended up being very bland. It was very basic I.e just dry chicken, pickles, and sub par tahini. The fries were similar to Captain D's but with no seasoning. Also, I never got my baklava after paying for everything. I thought I could depend on accuracy, but instead I was just very dissatisfied and disappointed. read more

Just okay, I might try it again. Had the chicken and a taste of beef some flavor but could have been warmer.

My fiancé and I liked this place. This is only her 2nd try at middle eastern food. We visited in March as a break from moving into our new place close by. Friendly staff, fair prices, good portions, and tasty food. Seems basic enough, yet so many others fail miserably at the above. We are happy this little place close to our house does a good job. read more

This place was amazing! Super hungry after a long day of running around and it definitely hit the spot!

It is the best Arab food I have eaten in the USA. The shawarma was divine we ordered chicken and beef and they were very good. We ordered fried Kibbeh and there is no description that can tell you how wonderful it was, the Falafel was "AMAZING" incredibly good. The Pistachio Baklavah was a dream. It is the best place I have eaten in Pensacola. I recommend it 100% and would go a thousand times each time I visit Pensacola. It is unforgettable. read more

Pretty good overall with some kinks to work out. The pricing is a bit high for the serving sizes. The shawarma itself, while delicious, is lacking some of the essentials I've eaten in the Middle East like chopped pickles and other chopped and shredded veggies. Seating is limited but it didn't seem to be a problem. Drinks are limited to bottles. I'd come back, but hope to see they lower prices or expand the serving size and bring a fountain in. It's frustrating they don't even have cups for water - you have to buy water. read more

Great place to grab a quick bite, or a family feast! This place has delicious food, and it is family owned and operated. The owners are so kind and honest people. The have the best coffee I have ever tasted, and it cost much less than Starbucks. I love this business, and I hope they thrive. read more

Messed up my order, ordered toshka and dish was not complete. When you order take out check before you go out, it was rushed and very unprofessional read more

10/27/20 Update. I'm so happy! Mr. Shawarma is back open with smaller menu and still serving their yummy chicken shawarma with garlic sauce! 10/1/2020 I'm so sad! The sign on the door says they are closed as of October 1, 2020 indefinitely. I went to another greek location and they said the owner, his cousin, moved to Texas! Say it isn't so,,, read more

I've been a big fan of this place since I found them recently near the intersection of Tippin and langley. The beef shawarma is very good and worth a try. Recently they put up a new sign advertising goat gyros, I think I'll try those next. Anywho, the place is nice and so are staff, they always give us extra garlic sauce in small containers, the tasty cream one, it's delicious! Highly recommend! read more

Phenomenal. My wife is Lebanese and I am Turkish. We approve and highly recommend. Legit to the fullest. Chicken shawarma is the go to meal. Trying falafel later on today. read more

Cute & delicious little Mediterranean restaurant. The prices are good, food is delicious, and service is great! I ordered a falafel sandwich (wrap) that was very good. This is the perfect place to go for lunch break because the food comes out so quickly. Very clean and they require employees to wear masks and gloves. read more

Best Mediterranean food in Pensacola!! Hands-down the best Falafel, hummus and baklava. Everything was fresh and delicious. I do not eat out often because of disappointment . So glad I have another restaurant to add to the very short list. I am a regular at Evermans and Jason's Deli and now I will be at Mr Shawarma . read more

Pensacola is not known for is international cuisine, however, this place couldn't have been better! Been missing awesome Shawarma since moving here but no more finally found it. Cheers! read more

I was really disappointed with this place. We were so excited because it has such good reviews but it just wasn't worth the hype or the food. The lamb bowl with fries was just not flavorful. The falafel & hummus wasn't too bad though! read more

Great restaurant, it hasn't been open for awhile, just found out it is under new ownership. Very good portion of a chicken shwarma plate and baba ghanoush. Really good! Fresh tasty salad with the plate and a really good garlic side. Will come back again. read more

I have gone several times for the chicken shawarma and I will be going again and again. It is very difficult to find good shawarma in the United States, much less authentic. The first time I took a bite I was immediately sent back to my time in Jordan. They use similar ingredients that are uncommon to Americans but it makes a huge difference. This is the best shawarma I have had in the U.S. read more

Fresh and Delicious! Stopped on a whim and so glad we did. Had chicken shawarma wrap and same with rice. Plenty to fill you up. The hummus was really good - just needed a little more pita to scoop it up with. Highly recommend for a quick and tasty bite. read more

We've tried this restaurant three times. First time was great. The next two times our problem was consistency. Maybe they switched cooks...if things had just stayed like it was at first visit it would have been put in our regular rotation. Sad! read more

This place has very well seasoned meats. We got a chicken shwarma as well as a beef. The portions are enormous. I am excited to try more things on the menu! read more

It was somewhat hidden, but worth the search!! The food was amazing! It was definitely all home made and traditional! The service was also friendly and welcoming! We got there a little late because a lot of the popular dishes were sold out... thats when you know it is good ;)! read more

This place has become more rigid and unwelcoming after the ownership changed. The food quality has gone down too, and there are unnecessary restrictions on customizing sides. Also, every time I come back, there is a new rule. For example, today (8/7 at 4 pm) they told me that they don't allow drink with the shawarma combo super meal.. weird. I feel it was much more welcoming before. Not very satisfied with their restrictive behavior. I have to add to this review after eating their food. The food was so oily that oil was dripping down the forks and fingers. It was not cooked well also. I have been taking out food from this place for the past year and half, the quality has definitely gone down after ownership change. read more

Great tasting authentic shawarma. Fatayer just beyond. Baba ghanouj really tasty and creamy

We came in during an off period, 2pm. They were out of dolmas and a couple other things. Their chicken swarma and hummus was just okay. Salad was good. Falafel was over cooked, and the baba ganoush was bad. Service was polite and quick. read more

Excellent food, good service. Takes a few minutes to get your food, because it's cooked then, so if you're in a hurry maybe call ahead.

My sister an I recently stopped while on a road trip. Neither of us eats fast food so we find it can be difficult to find good fresh food. Initially we attempted to go to a place closer to the interstate but were unsuccessful. Well thank goodness because even though we arrived as they were closing we were able to get an order of falafel, hummus and salad..., and they were all AMAZING!!!! Hands down the best falafel I've tasted anywhere! The hummus was delicious and you could definitely tell it was made with love not scooped of a jar. Can't wait to pass this way again to try some of their other menu goodies! read more

Seriously amazing place. If you are looking for the real deal authentic shawarma, falafel, etc: look no further. The sandwiches are very big and made fresh. No doubt we will be back the next time we are in Pcola. Highly recommend. read more

Delicious. For the price of a huge wrap filled with quality meat, this is the better option than a drive through greasy meal. Call ahead to order and then you won't have to wait for it to be prepared while you're there. read more

Ate lunch here today limited seating, that's the only downside. Food was yummy,very large portion and very reasonable prices. Everything fixed as you order, fresh and seasoned nicely. Definitely will be back to try another delicious offering. I got the beef shawarma this time. read more

Food is good but the only choice is chicken prefer traditionally prepared lamb schwarmas please add lambs meat i will definently call again

I went in expecting to dine in and was a little disappointed to see there were only a few (literally 3ish) tables and a long row of bar-style seating outlining a lonely and stark hallway. There were no waiters. The food was very reasonably priced. It was ok food but lacked some of the elements of Middle Eastern cuisine that I would deem necessary to provide quality and authenticity to the dishes. read more

If you like middle eastern food, you will love this place. We ordered the mr Syrian platter and it was awesome. The finagling and the hummus are great too. I would definitely return to this place, if I am ever in town read more
