    First, the ONLY negatives. The place was freezing cold, and the music playing was so loud that we could not hear one another speak. They do have Gender Neutral Restrooms, which as a woman, I do not prefer. I had my usual avocado from my bag. My hund ordered the Beef Shawarma Combo, which came with fries They have plenty for omnivore, limited options for vegetarians, and as I understand it, only pita and hummus for vegans (and I avoid carbs). Service was excellent!

    Mixed platter. It's bad.. it's yucky. Don't waste your money

    Very very bad food. The chicken feels uncooked and when you eat it.. it feels old and not fresh. Eat home food rather then eat this trash

    This spot is a great addition to the variety of restaurants in the strip, right next to the other halal eats. However, there's another shawarma place not far from here on the same side of the road, two lights down. So it's a tad confusing but they said this is owned by Palestine's for sure. I opted for takeout, as the small space was quite packed with a big group of women. The chicken shawarma wrap was quite filling on its own. But the pickles had an unpleasant taste so I had to remove them. Friendly staff, Fresh Food, tons of toppings, you can order a bowl, wrap, pita or baguette with your choice of protein and toppings. I typically try chicken when trying new places and later return to explore other options.

    Alhamdulillah for another great halal addition to Roosevelt Road. I love this spot not just for the Palestinian decor and Muslim-friendly ambience, but food. The portions are legit, prices aren't crazy, and the food tastes fresh. You can see them making it in front of you: no gimmicks. I respect businesses like these! I know the namesake shawarma is the draw, but the Jerusalem Salad and falafel wrap are things of beauty.

    Original Shawarma absolutely nailed it. I got the lamb shawarma wrap and honestly it might be the best I've had anywhere. The lamb was super tender, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor in every bite. The wrap was fresh, the toppings were balanced, and the garlic sauce tied everything together perfectly. You can tell they take pride in their food -- it tasted fresh, authentic, and made with care. If you love shawarma or just want a seriously good meal, this spot is a must-try. I'm definitely coming back.

    I really enjoy this spot for lunch. It's casual, has easy parking, and the food is made fresh…read morein-house with plenty of relatively healthy options. Some of my favorites are the chorizo breakfast wrap, the roast beef panini, and their signature Italian wedding soup. My wife and I usually add a side trio to get some greens in as well, which is always a great complement to our meal. Service is straightforward. You order up at the counter, grab your number, and find a seat. Just a note that it can get busy on weekends and during peak lunch hours, so plan accordingly. In addition, they also have a full coffee bar if you're in the mood for an espresso or specialty drink. Solid lunch spot that we keep coming back to. I'm a fan. 'Til next time, cheers!

    First time here and the store looks spacious, clean and welcoming. Order Avocado toast, it was not…read moretoasted. But had a lot of smashed avocado at the bottom and veggies. Service was great. They even brought us utensils. First time latte maker did a great job and delivered in person to the table. We finished everything. I liked the freshness of the veggies. The steak and egg bowl was a bit small and steak was just little bits. Breakfast sandwich is quite substantial. I enjoyed a little bit of the Farmhouse breakfast. Coffee is all you can drink! But I did get a latte.
