    The very good chicken shawarma plate.
    Michael B.

    Pretty good Middle Eastern place, specializing in shawarma. Kind of a bare-bones ambiance, though I doubt many people show up to eat at the restaurant. Tried them twice, though when I showed up the first time at 11:30, I was told that the kitchen wasn't ready yet and to come back in 20 minutes. Seriously? If your kitchen isn't ready by the stated opening time, just bump that time back or you'll get angry customers. Second time was the charm, I came by at noon and ordered a chicken shawarma plate with a side of dolmas (stuffed grape leaves). The chicken plate was very good, though the dolmas were a bit too tart and mushy. Still, it was very good and I'd eat it again. Due to the good food with 'meh' service the first time around, I'll average it out at a 3-star on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either.

    BLUF: Good food, made to order, authentic, and opportunity to support a small family owned local business, recommend ordering for pickup as the dine-in experience leaves a lot to be desired. As a Dearborn, Michigan native (home to the largest concentration of the Arab diaspora outside of the Middle East) I'm always skeptical to try Mediterranean offerings, but I was pleasantly surprised with my culinary experience at Shawarma Boys. We started with the Hummus, then tried the Beef Shawarma Plate and Gyro Plate. The hummus was fresh, but the menu description is confusing, it implies an additional cost for the inclusion of olive oil but ours had no shortage of it. Also, weird thing to up-charge for as a Mediterranean restaurant. The bread provided for dipping was just okay, it's not made in house, but it was lightly toasted and warm when brought to the table. The inclusion of some carrot or celery sticks would be a welcomed addition. Moving on to the entrees, they both had a generous portion of rice and small Fatoush salad. The salad was great, and expertly coated in the signature vinaigrette I associate with other delicious Mediterranean salads I've had in the past. The rice was also tasty, well seasoned, but probably too generous of a portion size. The Gyro meat was better than the beef shawarma in my opinion, but your mileage and palate may vary. When I go back, I'll probably try one of their wraps instead of their plates. The dine-in experience was not great. The wall mounted TV had a static menu displayed for the duration of our visit, and there was no music playing in the background. No fountain drinks, all beverage options are canned sodas or bottled water. They charge $1.99 for a Member's Mark bottle of water, the price of two waters covers the $3.98 I could use to buy a 40 pack of the same water from Sam's Club. Maybe I'm spoiled, but I'm accustomed to bottomless free iced water when I'm dining in somewhere. to The only two employees appeared to be the Owner/Chef and who I assume was his mother. They don't have a separate wait staff, so the Owner wears all the other hats (waiter, bus boy, cashier. . .). All of which I share to drive home the point that I recommend their food, but don't recommend you eat it there.

    The food was AMAZING!! Service was great, she was so nice and attentive. The vibe was very nice, we loved it in here. Definitely coming back!

    I went again and this time I took my mom with me planning on asking them to use the Lebanese bread which I did. I am not sure if they forgot or a simple mistake. The plates came out with the same wrap I didn't like the last time. I still believe the meat so far is the most legit but sadly I didn't get what I want even though they have it. It is a cute shop with frames from Istanbul. I asked the owner and he said it was supposed to be a Turkish restaurant they decided to turn it into a shawarma shop. I will still return, owner is nice and very welcoming

    If you haven't been to Shawarma Boys yet, you're missing out on one of the best food experiences around! The owner, Sean Rahmani, is the definition of excellence when it comes to both hospitality and quality. From the moment you walk in, you feel the passion he has for his business--greeting customers with genuine warmth and making sure every detail is perfect. The food speaks for itself: fresh ingredients, authentic flavors, and portions that leave you more than satisfied. You can tell Sean truly cares about what he serves and about the people he serves it to. It's rare to find a business where the owner is so hands-on and committed to making every customer feel valued. Shawarma Boys isn't just a place to grab a quick bite--it's an experience you'll want to keep coming back to. Thank you, Sean, for raising the standard and setting the bar high for great food and even better service!

Apparently, she has been here many times already with her husband and some of their good friends :) ! We came on a Friday before the Happy Hour specials ended at 6:30 pm this :) ! I loved my Aphrodite Spritz :D ! My friend ordered the Athena Dion and the Santorini Bikini :) ! For our Happy Hour dishes, we ordered the Tirshi (butternut squash, harissa, and pepita chili crisp), the Dakos (marinated Texas heirloom tomatos, sourdough croutons, black olive salt, tulum and fresh Za' atar) and the Olive Oil Cake :) ! We really loved how a lot of the cocktail drinks and delicious dishes are Greek - themed ;) ! Our waiter was extremely attentive, friendly and prompt :) ! The ambiance is absolutely perfect for anyone to eat there solo, or with friends and family :) ! There is seating both outside and inside. For my first time there, we sat outside on the second level. If it wasn't so hot and humid, it would have been nice sitting outside. I would have preferred to sit inside during the summer. Except when we went, it was already early Friday evening, and most of the indoor seating at the bars and tables were taken. I would highly recommend this Mediterranean restaurant to anyone :D ! Their Happy Hour prices are extremely reasonable :) ! Although, I wouldn't mind coming back for their regular non-Happy Hour dining too :D !

I also had the spicy passionfruit mezcal cocktail (The Prophet), which was excellent. The service was friendly and welcoming from everyone we interacted with, and the staff even called us right away when we accidentally left something at our table. Bonus points for easy free street parking nearby and a great location for walking around the Pearl before dinner. Great food, great value, and we'll definitely be back.

    I was a little hesitant to try NY Gyro King in Stone Oak because I was worried the prices might be…read morehigh and the quality might not live up to expectations. I was completely wrong. This is easily one of the best halal and gyro-style spots I've tried in Texas. The prices are great, and the portions are fair and filling. The chicken was perfectly seasoned with a light spice, the rice was soft, and the vegetables were fresh. Honestly, I'd choose NY Gyro King over CAVA⁠ or Chipotle⁠ any day--the food tastes fresher, the portions are just as good or better, and the value is hard to beat. The excellent customer service made the experience even better. I'll definitely be back.

His usual menu consists of pizza, chicken nuggets, and not much else. Getting him to try something new is usually a challenge. To my surprise, he tried the gyro and actually loved it. Not just a few bites--he genuinely enjoyed it. Any restaurant that can win over a picky eater deserves some recognition. The food was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The meat was well-seasoned, the ingredients tasted fresh, and everything came together perfectly. It's the kind of place that's approachable for people who are new to Mediterranean food while still being delicious enough for those who already love it. Great food, great experience, and a rare family dining win. We'll definitely be back for more gyros.
