    Hi. Sorry my review is an outlier but I am just not seeing the 4,7 rating this place has on yelp. While the food was fast, I surmise that is because they cook their meat hours maybe even a day in advance and keep warm all day. translation - dry meat. I ordered the wrap and while it was grilled on the outside like a grilled cheese burrito. The filling just didn't do it for me. I ate half and had no desire to eat the rest. Ps my other half who never gets sick ate his completely. And did get sick the next day. May or may not be related but seemed like it was. I really wanted to like this place because I love shawarmas

    Lamb Shawarma Sandwich
    Ryan Z.

    I travel to the Middle East and Europe very often, and I'm not sure any of the other shawarmas measure up to this! I ordered a lamb shawarma sandwich. The lamb was moist and flavorful, vegetables complimented it well, hot green sauce also tasted great, and portions are massive at a great price. Not sure what else you'd need, oh and the service was quick and friendly. Bit of advice - I initially went to order through grub hub on Yelp, and it was almost $3 more expensive than ordering in the store with no tip included, so I recommend going in person to order. There are tables to eat, but it's connected to a halal market, and may not be the best date spot, but still a nice casual place not to avoid dining in or takeout.

    Chicken injera, chicken shawarma wrap

    Amazing flavors. My husband got the chicken injera (it's enough for two!) and I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap. It's a little hole in the wall place, but there are reasons it's won awards. Order at the counter for both take out and eat in.

    This is one of my favorite gems in Anchorage. The samosas, biryani, and lamb or chicken wraps are so delicious you can't go wrong with either choice. The wraps are very filling and come with two sauces that complement the flavor of the meat.

    You are on Yelp because reviews are important. Between Yelp and DoorDash I have never seen so many five star and outstanding reviews for an establishment. Reviews saying the same thing, you absolutely must try their food. 5 stars is not enough! I ordered at 6 PM on a Friday evening via DoorDash. I received my order within 45 minutes and this is coming from the East side to the middle of Spenard. Everything was hot and delicious. FYI- on DoorDash they are listed as Anchorage Halal Marker (sp?) looks like a typo in there but just be aware so you have the right spot. This review is basically to update and support every good review that's already established. The food is amazing and you must must must bless yourself with a meal from them. The spices are blended immaculately, and it is difficult to stop once you've started plowing through a plate of chicken Shawarma. You won't want to share, you won't be able to eat it all in one meal, and you still won't want to share the leftovers. That's OK don't, it's all for you. I will be ordering again posthaste. I can see this as a once a week staple meal. I am so pleased with the availability of authentic Middle Eastern food of this variety and I hope that our community patronizes and protects this gem!

    Lamb Shawarma Wrap
    Ashley G.

    Absolutely incredible! The restaurant itself may look small and inconspicuous, but the flavors that are packed into the food are big and bold!! Being a family run business, the vibes and service in the restaurant are casual and friendly. It is also connected to a store with all types of goodies! I've only gotten the lamb shawarma so far. It's a flour tortilla filled with veggies, pickles, white sauce (tahini?), and the lamb of course. The flavor of the lamb is unbeatable. It also comes with an extra side of white sauce and a spicy green sauce. The green sauce compliments the shawarma so well. I have nothing but positive things to say about My Shawarma House and I hope to try new items soon.

    Mix shawarma plate. So much food for less than 20 dollars.

    Large portion and delicious food. Very affordable. Prob feed 2v person with 1 serving. Quick service. Not a fancy sit down restaurant but you get good value and tasty choices. I would come again.

    LAMB WITH INJERA and MANGO LASSI
    Sarah M.

    This family owned business with delectable food will keep me coming back over and over. The injera bread was fresh and tasty, plus I was able to order more for home at the store next door. The lamb and tangy sauce were full of spices without being spicy. My vegetarian friend was able to get vegetable food that was just as wonderful as the lamb and goat we tried. I am so thankful to the family working with our dietary needs and getting the food to us quickly. The restaurant was quiet and had plenty of seating, plus the connected store was fun to walk around while waiting for our food. I will certainly be back and recommend My Shawarma House both to locals and visiting tourists!

    Beef and chicken combo. Ask for more of the sauces. You will thank me later.

    Small place but really good food Fast service. Ask for extra sauces and onions to bring the food alive.

So finding Turkish Delight here in Anchorage makes me incredibly happy! One of the things I loved most about Turkey was the culture around food and simply spending time together. It was never just about eating and leaving. You sit, talk, enjoy each other's company, and of course drink Turkish tea out of those beautiful little glasses. I have so many great memories of people simply bringing you tea and sitting together. There is something so warm and welcoming about that part of Turkish culture, and seeing the tea served that way here immediately brought some of those memories back. The food was amazing! Everything was fresh, colorful, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The falafel with tahini was delicious, and the plate with rice, grilled vegetables, salad, bread, and all the different flavors reminded me why I love Turkish and Mediterranean food so much. There are also so many different options on the menu that I already know I need to come back and try more. The restaurant itself is bright, clean, comfortable, and has a really relaxing atmosphere. This is exactly the kind of place I would want to come with friends, order several different things, drink tea, share food, talk, and just spend time together. I feel so blessed and grateful that we have a place like this in Anchorage. It brought back some wonderful memories of my time in Turkey, and I cannot wait to go back. Highly recommend Turkish Delight, especially if you love Turkish food or want to experience a little taste of Turkish culture right here in Alaska!

They did an impressive job of making all of the food taste authentic, not your typical bistro or fusion master of none style menus. We ordered butter chicken, pho rare steak, basket naan, chicken biryani, and chicken korma. The pho was phenomenal, just like in Vietnam, with an average portion of meat, overall very large portions and great flavor. The butter chicken was soupy and tasty, plenty of chicken, and large enough for anyone to be satisfied. I'm not typically a fan of biryani, but the chicken biryani had the perfect amount of spice, and almost addicting taste and heaping pile of food, enough for 3 meals! I did not like the chicken korma, but my wife loved it - with a unique yet non spicy flavor. The naan basket was also large, with 3 flavors of naan. Overall, the only negative thing was limited parking in the winter, otherwise I will definitely be back!

    I would give this place more than five stars if possible!…read more I'm an absolute fiend for middle eastern and Mediterranean food. I grew up on gyros and when I travel, I often gravitate toward that style of cuisine. So when I say this is THE BEST chicken souvlaki I've ever had, I don't say it lightly. The chicken is extraordinarily tender and so well seasoned. The tzatziki is delicious. The sumac onion and lemon wedge are just the cherry on top. My personal preference would've been for a salad instead of fries for the platter ($26), but I also didn't ask for it, so that's on me. Dad had the spicy pork yerro ($19), and said it was "awesome." A combination of flavors you don't get often, and tasty to boot. We polished off the meal with the largest piece of baklava I've ever seen ($15). It sits in an orange blossom honey and is just as tasty as it looks. Dessert is definitely on the pricy side - we could've gotten outta there pretty reasonably without it. I'll be back to try more of the menu. Their dips look incredible and the halloumi yerro is on my must-have list. Service was decent but depended on the dining room and takeout situation since there's only one server. I loved the response I got when I called about their hours earlier. (The menu photos show a 7:30pm close while Yelp indicates 9:30.) The answer? 9-10 "depending on the meats." Hope these guys stick around because the food is incredible. Highly recommend!
