Shawarma Bros

We dined on a Sunday night around 8 PM and were seated right away, which was a great start. We…read moreordered the mixed grill plate, a Nutella shake, and I asked for water. The salad and hummus came out within a few minutes and the food itself was actually very good. No water given at this time. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. We waited almost an hour for our main entrée, had to ask for the water again, and the Nutella shake we ordered was never served at all. Our server was not attentive throughout the night. One more thing to watch out for -- a 15% tip was automatically added to the bill, so make sure to check before paying. The food was enjoyable, but the poor service really affected the overall experience.

The meat in the mixed grill was alright. The waitress was ditzy and not too attentive. When the waitress wasn't anywhere to be found I asked the bus boy for two to go boxes, he gave me a mean look and didn't speak. The waitress didn't serve water for my guest and I. Also she didn't ask if we wanted any dessert. I found better restaurants with much better service in the area that's where I will dine at in the future. Also the waitress didn't offer my guest and I any water or asked us if we'd like any dessert.

The olive oil is so fragrant, the bread is fresh baked and amazing. I wish I would've tried the stuffed pepper soup, but Avgolemono is my favorite. I just wish they had a generous bowl of Youvetzi that was flavored with lamb shank!!! It's my go to Greek comfort food - My YiaYia's was the best! I will have to return to sample their desserts!

I had the special - Youvarelakia - which are the herbed meatballs in lemon sauce. The meat was "very herb-y" to the point of almost overwhelming the meat taste.

My only complaint was that it wasn't as crispy as I wanted, i think both the fried chicken and the wrap being meh in terms of that crispy bite you'd expect. As you can see it is toasted but it was still more chewy than crispy. Otherwise the flavors are decent and for like a $15 meal, it's ok. The portion is good and it does the job.

The portion sizes are huge! For the appetizer we ordered fried zucchini and the Greek egg rolls with gyro and feta cheese. That could have been a meal all by itself. For the actual entree, we ordered the Grecian chicken and the chicken pasta with mushrooms and bacon. We took 1/2 of our food home to eat for lunch the next day. We also took a slice of the Baklava cheesecake home. I liked the baklava and my husband liked the cheesecake, but we didn't like the combination. :-)

Tried Shawarma Bros in Palos and was impressed with the tender, well-seasoned steak it was definitely flavorful and cooked just right. The service was decent, nothing over the top but friendly enough. My only gripe is the pricing; compared to other similar spots, it felt a bit on the higher side. Still, a solid experience overall. read more

I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have any kibbeh. That was my fault I came quarter to 10 pm on a Thursday. I ordered beef shawarma in a pita combo and labneh.

This is a good appetizer. The beef shawarma I was disappointed in. It was slightly dry and chewy. The flavor was there but I think it was cooked too long. I went to King of Falafel & Shawarma in Chicago Ridge and their shawarmas just melted in your mouth. It's so tender that it makes you crave for another bite. I was kind of hoping for a similar experience here. Other than that, the staff was very nice. They have a table with free water, hot tea, silverware, etc.
