Best shawarma in Richmond. As a Lebanese man, I can attest that the shawarma here is as close as you can get to the actual thing. Nowhere else in Richmond (that I'm aware of) uses vertical spits for the meat and the meat is spiced perfectly. All the toppings taste great and the saj bread is awesome. The service is great, always kind and smiling. I highly recommend giving this place a try if you're looking to eat lunch somewhere. read more

I ordered the wings. Not what I expected. The picture is misleading. The wings were battered and fried and sprinkled with buffalo sauce.

Friendly service, good food, in a small , but pleasant atmosphere. Good food portions, will go again when in the area.

Scott's Shawarma is a go to quick lunch/ dinner take out spot in our house hold. Lamb and beef sandwich on Markuk bread is to die for, especially with some extra hot sauce and white sauce on the side. The platter plate is also good but I would choose sandwich over the plate. The people behind the counter are always friendly and kind and the food is prepared right in front of you to your liking! It may just seem like a convenience store but you can't pass on the shawarma!! read more

Don't be confused - This is the original Scott's Shawarma that is used to be a convenience store in Scott's Addition. This location is wonderful and the food is exactly what has made this place the best place for shawarma in the city. This new location has good seating and is incredibly clean. Also, as always, they have some of the best falafel you can hope to find in Richmond. The prices are reasonable, the portions are big, and the service is great. I can't recommend a place more than Scott's and a great addition to downtown! read more

TL;DR: very flavorful food, friendly service. Must visit more than once. I got the chicken kebab over rice, and my friends got the chicken shawarma with saj bread, and falafels. We all loved our food. The falafels were crisp, chicken was tender, juicy, and absolutely delicious. Also got some hummus and salad on the side, which balanced the flavors really well. The host was friendly, and helped answer our questions. read more

I was driving through my old neighborhood the other day and I found this little hole in the wall restaurant. it was brightly lit so it stood out as an interesting place though it was small and not necessarily a place I would take my date it was clean and pleasant and safe feeling. I went in and I ordered a chicken Sherman and a side of falafel. WOW I I was able to get three meals out of these generous portions. The flavor was incredible I've been eating Middle Eastern food for almost 50 years and I got to say this was some of the tastiest and best I had ever had I was extremely impressed with the quality of the food just amazing. Even though I live about 25 miles away I will go out of my way to come back here every chance I get read more

The chicken shawarma was decadent. The markuk bread was perfectly supple, yet chewy. The falafel was possibly the best as it was clearly fresh and cooked to perfection. Crispy, yet moist with body. read more

Dry salty overcooked meat. Limp salad with some sort of bad garlic dressing. Stale toasted pita bread. Definitely not Jerusalem style anything. Gross decor. read more

I've had this place delivered about four times and it never disappoints! I love getting it for lunch and it's so flavorful and not greasy. All the pickled vegetables add so much to the dish and the hummus tastes home made! read more

Food came out fast and was very delicious. We had the chicken shawarma over rice; I initially would have done the mixed plate with beef but they sold out already, will definitely come back to try that. Service was good as staff were friendly and welcoming. The ambiance was casual and comfortable. read more

I'm pretty upset that it took me so long to find this place and that it does it better than most. Hot on the rotating spicket beef/lamb and chicken carved off fresh for a sandwich or plate, great sides and sauces full of flavor and seasonings. I gave up looking for great middle eastern food but found Scott's Shawarma how's that for Karma! read more

All I can say is I've been on the hunt for the best falafel in Richmond, and I'm pretty dang sure I found it here. Crispy on the outside, perfectly done on the inside, flavorful but not overpowered with spices like some I've tried; honestly just perfection. They were made fresh for me and the woman behind the counter was so sweet, she mixed me some "spicy" sauce without me even asking, and with a side of piping hot pita, I shamelessly devoured it in my car. I can't wait to try the shawarma and side dishes. Thank you, Scott's Shawarma! read more

Scott's Shawarma - One side order of falafel (6 pieces), pita bread, and the house 'spicy' sauce. - Delis Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I know they hate to see my same order pop up every other day. always good and fresh.

Tried this place for the first time today and beyond amazing! It's located in a VERY nice and clean corner store. The staff was friendly and they helped guidance on what we should order. We both got chicken sandwiches which were tasty with the various toppings they recommended (chicken is spicy but we loved it). Should of took a picture but that sandwich did not stand a chance. We will definitely be back ' read more

I tried the chicken Shawarma loaded up with whatever they recommended and it was some of the best chicken Shawarma I've ever had in my 48 years of being on this planet. They let me try a falafel, and I am not a vegetarian but it was delicious. The people working here are also super nice. read more

Scott's Shawarma - The area where you order the food and pay for everything in the middle of this nice market that has so many beer and wine selections. - Delis Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Incredible shawarma Highly recommend it it will change your life. You will not regret ordering the best shawarma ever read more

First, they got my order wrong. Ordered kebabs over rice, was given kebabs over tabouleh. The "ribeye" beef kabobs were extremely dry and unpleasantly chewy. The hummus was watery and lacked flavor. Lastly, I bit something that was in my tabouleh that I thought might have broken a tooth. I thought it might be glass but I couldn't find whatever it was when I emptied my mouth. After that, I threw out the remainder of my meal. Thankfully, I did receive a refund on my order. read more

Went on a busy Friday night to get some dinner. Honestly, the set up isn't great and the guys behind the counter definitely didn't 100% understand our order. There was a super long line by the time we left, and it took a while even with just a few people in front of us. However, I must say that the food was really good despite being from a little neighborhood market. They have falafel and they have beef and chicken options, they had run out of rice by the point we went around 8 PM, so the guy taking our order suggested my husband get his Shawarma on top of fries, which ended up looking really yummy. My falafel wrap was really good, the falafel was just right not too dry like a lot of falafel I have gotten. read more

This place was amazing. My brothers and I got a few platters and I was blown away. I tried the chicken/beef platter with fries and it was so flavorful. I haven't had Shawarma like this in years! The owner was a down to earth guy and the service was quick and efficient. Decent amount of seating and the convenience of everything was unmatched. Will definitely be coming back down and recommending this to my friends and family. read more

Food is good. The wings were delicious the first time we bought them but taste really rubbery the next time.

Excellent food and service! A true hidden gem. We had the Lamb and Beef Shawarma. If this is your first time here, we suggest calling and asking where to park. We didn't know to ask and parked on the street about a block away. read more

Amazing shawarma. Impossible to find anywhere and this was one of the best versions I've had in years.

Interesting place. A shawarma stand inside a convenience store. Had the beef shawarma sandwich. Flavor of the meat was pretty good. Could have used some more toppings. Also, I didn't get a chance to specify which toppings I wanted which is unusual compared to other shawarma shops I have been too. It is worth a try. Lady behind the counter was very nice. read more

I visited on a Sunday evening expecting it not to be as busy as it was. The line was out of the building. They seemed overwhelmed but still staffed properly. This was my first time and had read many reviews about the chicken swarma and went all out with everything on it. To my surprise when I got home and tasted the sandwich; the chicken lacked flavor and it wasn't anything special to me. Just a regular chicken sandwich in pita. I'm going to give it another try because I think they were overwhelmed with the crowd but it has to be something special if the line was out the door?! Parking also sucks around the location so be prepared. read more

Ordered the chicken shawarma over salad platter and it was awesome. Chicken was really tender and flavorful and the spicy garlic sauce made it even better. Met one of the owners too who was super friendly and even brought over a free apple juice to my daughter after she spilled her water cup. Can't wait to go back! read more

I had heard about Scott's Shawarma and we've picked up food to go from their other location. Food is excellent at his new location... right in the Fan area. I had the beer and lamb platter over rice. Delicious and served hot/fresh. Service was excellent with the three guys serving everyone. Loved the ambiance... small eating area but plenty of room for all... loved it and will be returning! h read more

10/10! Generous portions & fairly priced. The flavors & ingredients are out of this world. And the guys behind the counter are WONDERFUL! The homemade bread & Scott's White Sauce are my faves read more

I ordered off of Doordash. We ordered Beef & lamb Shawarma On Markuk bread, Beef & lamb Shawarma On tortilla wrap, and Chicken shawarma Greek salad. All of the food tastes great, but the Greek salad was ridiculously small for 16.99. It was smaller than what I would consider a side salad with barely any lettuce. Again, everything tasted good I just wish I had more salad for that amount of money. read more

Scott's Shawarma - This was so cool and so tasty I love this place with a passion come here - Delis Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Staying at a nearby hotel and decided to door dash dinner. We love shawarma so decided to try Scott's. We ordered a chicken shawarma wrap. It was the size of a reallyyy big burrito. It was well balanced and didn't skimp on the chicken. It was ordered with hot seasoning and white sauce. Perfect combo. Nice amount of heat say roughly jalapeno level and great flavor. I had the chicken shawarma platter which included a generous amount of food. My platter had the chicken I ordered as hot and with white sauce. Again the heat level was light jalapeno. It was over rice and came with hummus. I ordered saj which we ate with both the hummus and scooped up the meat and rice. On the side out of the options I chose lettuce, tomato, and onion. There were about 4 more options. I absolutely loved my meal. I have enough for 1 more full meal and maybe a snack out of it as well, compare it to your typical Chinese takeout leftovers lol. For me it on par portion size. I felt portions were fair for the price point. The other diners with us had a beef kabob platter and a chicken kabob platter. The chicken they did just grilled and I tasted it. It had good flavor. The kabob meals say 2 kabobs...these are two really hearty portions. We expected half of what was served. I would very happily eat here as a regular. We had our food delivered so I can't speak to ambiance. The service I can say the meal was on time via door dash as ordered, packaged well, and was hot on arrival. Don't overlook or underestimate this place. read more

The service and food were great! The guy suggested the white sauce for my salad even though I was on the fence about it and suggested it for my friend's falafel. The food was delicious. I will return, the next time I'm in town. You can't dine in here, it's all takeout. read more

This is my 2nd time ordering it delivered. As usual the food was amazing and fresh, healthy sized large portions and just incredibly good! This time I got the mixed plate w/salad and hummus, an order of baba ganoush, side of tabbhouleh, and pita bread. Just yummmmmmmy! read more

This place was absolutely delicious! the hummus incredible! I had leftovers and brought it home. My cat insisted on helping me finish. She is a food snob so big complement read more

Awesome service and food! Was given samples to try since it was my first visit. Everyone was so helpful and grateful- I'll definitely be returning regularly! read more

Best shawarma and baba ghanoush in all of Richmond. Super flavorful and fresh! Try the ultra thin Palestinian bread and get the white sauce!

Food is always good and staff for the most part love there chicken shawarma and great fries

Just tried the new Robinson Street location. Food and service were great! I'd previously visited the old Scott's Addition location for takeout, but the new dine-in spot on Robinson just off Broad is more convenient and has plenty of free parking. If you're not familiar with Middle Eastern food, there are lots of options -- all delicious! My favorite is the beef and lamb sandwich, but the chicken is also good and you can't go wrong with the kebabs, salads or sides. Go before it gets discovered and you can't get a seat! read more

Had high expectations after reading the reviews, but growing up overseas has made it hard to find a good shwarma here. Tried the lamb and beef shawarma wrap as well as the chicken shwarma wrap. Good portion of meat, but both were dry. The garlic sauce had a good flavor but there was not enough to cover the dry meat and bread. Needs more pickles! read more

We love Scott's shawarma, one of the best and most underrated places in RVA! The food is always fresh and the meat is always tender and juicy. Their signature white sauce is to die for. We do take outs at least twice a month from here. The owner is very warm and welcoming and their service is great. They just moved to a new place which is very cute and cozy. I'm excited that they now have their own place! read more
