    Falafel On  Pita bread
    Paris S.

    My cousin couldn't stop raving about this place, so I finally gave it a try and wow. It completely blew me away. I ordered the falafel on pita, and it was incredible. The veggies were pickled perfectly, adding just the right tang, and the sauce was absolutely mouthwatering. I also tried the baba ghanoush. It wasn't quite my personal favorite, but the hummus was excellent. I added a pinch of salt to suit my taste, and you can tell everything is made fresh. What really sealed it for me was the service. The one time I went in to pick up my order, the owner was behind the counter preparing food and was genuinely warm and kind. That level of hospitality makes a difference. This has easily become one of my top five go to spots when I want something quick and delicious.

    This place is almost located in a small little building, and looks a little like a hole in the wall spot but the food was amazing! I got the lamb and beef shawarma and it was some of the best shawarma meat I've ever had. It was moist, seasoned well, and still crispy. The staff were very friendly and made my order priority on the spot over the take out order which I appreciated. Overall a very good place that I will definitely come back to!

    The food was incredible. I got the mix meat tray and husband got the chicken. All three meats were delicious. The "white" sauce was described as being like tzatziki - it has the feel of tzatziki but I'd describe it more as a creamy garlic sauce (still delicious). We both got tabouleh, it was fresh and tasted good although we agreed it could use just a little more flavor, maybe garlic or salt. Our total came to $41 but you do get a lot of meat. The food took a little while to come out but we suspect because they had several online orders ahead of us, plus it was worth the wait. Our only complaint is the pita does not appear to be made in house (we saw the premade pita's on the counter). Oh and the hummus was delicious, so fresh tasting. Highly recommend this restaurant and we'll be back to try more item!

    Never fails ! The chicken shawarma is banging ! And the falafel is just as crispy as it is supposed to be. Reminds me of back home. My mother also loves their hummus and she's a hard Arab food critic to please. Whenever I'm feeling homesick I make sure to stop in. The ambiance, the Arabic music it amazing.

    Scott's Shawarma is a great spot! Near the Science Center, it's an easy spot to grab takeout (or sit inside at one of the few tables). Since Toast wasn't working, we called in our order. Sadly, most of our orders were wrong, but it still tasted good. The spice on the chicken pops! The tortilla that the sandwiches come in is excellent. I enjoyed my chicken shawarma sandwich with spicy garlic sauce, pickled cucumbers, lettuce, and onions.

    The best part of the restaurant was the kibbeh, even though it was very deep-fried, but the spices in it were very good. We have the Shawarma platter with chicken and the tabouli was very tasty. The garlic sauce needed more of a punch.

    I've always loved the food from Scott's but glad to have this new location. Food is hot and fresh and ready quickly when ordered online.

    Exactly what we were craving - lots of food for an affordable price in an accessible area to where we were staying for the weekend in The Fan! I absolutely loved the pickled radish, pepper, and onion as a part of the Chicken Shwarma w/ Saj Bread - the perfect contrast to some otherwise super chicken drenched in a tangy sauce. Every bite felt like you were getting every flavor that was promised when I ordered. Generous helpings of everything on my girlfriends order and I could not get enough of the sauces that came with. Reliable for takeout any night of the week with quick service.

    Super quick pick up! Pretty good! Wish pita came on the side. At first I was shocked it was so expensive, I paid $16 for my platter, but honestly it's so much food I probably will make 3 meals out of it

    Amazing chicken and beef shawarma, that tasted authentic and fresh. Friendly staff members made the atmosphere very pleasant and positive and the service was very quick! 10/10 would recommend to a friend!

    Walked in on a Saturday evening. Got confused at first because when you enter, the place divides…read moreinto left and right. To the left is where you place orders. Menu board that says Habibi Grill but when we asked the owner, he said that they still serve the Afghan cuisine. They have a separate menu for this. The area on the right is the dining area. It was quiet when we had dinner there. Got the lamb shank qabuli which was very tender and served with Qabuli rice and side salad. Lamb kabob was also bursting with flavor but we thought the serving size was small. The falafel plate was very good. Everything was so flavorful and we really enjoyed the food. The owner was very nice. Since we shared the food, we would have appreciated if we were also given an extra plate; nevertheless, we were starving so it was alright. Would definitely come back!

    Food: 5/5 Ambience: 5/5…read moreLocation & parking: 4/5 Location & Parking: Located on a busy street with paid street parking, this restaurant was a little hard to find at first. Although it looks unassuming from outside, it's bright and spacious inside with the lovely aromas greeting you at the door. Ambience: I got seated and placed the order right away. While my order was getting ready in front of me, I had a chance to go around andexplore around. It was a super spacious restaurant with two levels of seating areas. Very bright and surprisingly guarded from the noisy traffic, it was a great spot for a quiet lunch. Food & service: My order of Kebab & fries served with Naan, Tzatziki sauce and Afghani salad was made to order and tasted very juicy and flavorful. Spiced perfectly and the right portion size for 1 person, every bite of the freshly made naan and kabob was perfection. My server was so courteous and attentive and he prepared my food in less than 20 minutes.
