I can for the viral Wagyu Shawarma Cheesesteak. It was very tasty with a mix of peppers, onion cheese and sauce. Whatever sauce they used gave it a bit of spiciness. I went at 3:30 pm on a Saturday and was surprised that it was pretty busy at that weird time The sandwich was huge ( probably 12 inch sub) so depending on how hungry you are, you could easily split it. I loved the fries. Whatever seasoning they used gave is perfect read more

Man I really wanted to like this place due to all the rave reviews. Our first experience was mixed with some meats being great and others dry beef bits that weren't very tasty or appealing. Our second experience we got the chicken shawarma Brian's way. Everything was cooked well, but I guess although I like pickles, I'm not as big a fan of Mediterranean pickles. The first bite or two were actually good, but subsequent bites the pickle tanginess was overwhelming and just not so pleasant as I finished it. I thought maybe I'll get it without the pickles next time. However, after eating I got an unexpected headache that usually comes from ingestion of MSG. The fries were tasty... maybe there was MSG in those? Not sure. I've honestly had much better phenomenal shawarma in San Joes CA. I have yet to find a great Shawarma here in San Diego. Feel free to recommend. read more

I decided to visit this location for a late lunch during the week. I was so busy at work that I had to not had an opportunity to get lunch. I was able to sign off at 330p and head over to this location. The place was empty and there were clean tables and floors when I walked in. I was greeted by the lady behind the counter, and she had a smile on her face. I ordered the beef & chicken shawarma plate, Wagyu Beef eggrolls, and a bottled drink. My food was freshly prepared. I received my order in 7-10 minutes. It smelled wonderful. I paid for extra yogurt sauce and left to take my food to-go. When I arrived home, I enjoyed a delicious meal. Everything was prepared with great flavor, portions, and care. I had the garlic sauce and the yogurt sauce with my meal. This place is one of my favorites. I have been eating their food since the Southpark Truck days, phenomenally delicious. Thanks! read more

The hubby and I got some munchies after our tequila fun last night.... We tried the suggested Guy Fieri cheesesteak & it was sooooo yummy. We added extra cheese for that EXTRA gooeyness.

I have tried many locations for Shawarma Guys and their food can be a hit or miss. This time, it was a big hit! I loved my Wagyu Beef Shawarma Cheesesteak and would 100% get it again. I thought it was stuffed very nicely, but wished the peppers and onion pieces were larger instead of being small, diced pieces. I think it would've helped to balance the overall flavor as well. However, the meat was cooked to perfection and I was happy with it overall. I know it's a top 100 place, but I think they need to work on their overall consistency across their locations to truly make it worthy of the top 100 spot. read more

First time trying this restaurant. We ordered take-out on a Friday night. We ordered a waygu beef egg rolls, a chicken shawarma plate, as well as the waygu beef shawarma plate. The egg rolls were delicious. They were drizzled with a garlic/yogurt sauce and served with tangy and yummy dipping sauce. Both shawarma plates came with the following sides: parsley tabouli, hummus, and rice. The waygu meat was moist, tender and had a hint of smoke. The chicken was also tender and moist, delicious! Sadly when we got home, our meal was missing the Naan. Since it was too far to go back, we had to go without an important part of our meal (which was a bummer) and hence taking 1 star off the overall review. read more

Shawarma Guys - Middle Eastern Near Me - La Mesa, California

Second time at Shawarma Guys. My first visit was about 6 years ago at the South Park food truck, and honestly, I didn't like the food. I remember ordering their bowl, lemon chicken, wagyu egg rolls, and falafel. Everything was just okay.. nothing terrible, but the flavors didn't stand out. I gave it a 5/10 back then. Fast forward to now, I kept seeing people rave about the "Shawarma Bryan's Way," so I decided to give it another shot. I was meeting up with my cousin at the La Mesa location and even told her beforehand that I hadn't liked it before but it had been 6 years. I spent over $65 and ordered two Wagyu Shawarma Bryan's Way, a Philly cheesesteak, and (again) wagyu egg rolls. After the first bite of the crispy Wagyu Bryan's Way, I immediately remembered why I didn't like it the first time. The beef seasoning was way too overpowering. The crispy pita was actually really good, but the beef just didn't work for me. If the seasoning were toned down, I think it could be really good. My cousin and I was disappointed and we ended up going to eat at another place afterwards. Mind you, we love shawarma wrapped but just not here. Second time here, and unfortunately, it'll be my last. On a positive note, the service was great! read more

I had never been to this location but was in the area with a friend and decided to check it out. It was super easy to order through the kiosk and make any modifications if needed. I got the chicken and wagu beef plate with rice, salad, and hummus. The chicken and beef were super flavorful and not dry at all. The garlic feta sauce was delicious too and paired well with the pita. The location was clean and the staff were friendly. It is reasonably priced as I paid $22 for the plate and it was plenty of food. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Solid place for Mediterranean. We came on a Saturday around 7 and it wasnt too busy in the restaurant but there were a lot of people doing takeout. We ordered and probably waited close to 30 minutes for our group of 8 people to all get our food. So definitely not a super quick option if you're limited on time. This time I got a half salad ($9) and added chicken ($5). The salad size was actually pretty good and was filled with ingredients. If anything they skimped on the chicken for the price. Just a handful of thinly sliced shawarma on the top. We were initially contemplating eating there but it wasn't great for a large group so we took it to go. read more

I have not had a shawarma in years and decided to go here after the USA match yesterday. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Pita(Bryan's way). I could barely stomach the thing. I had a very strong flavor of salmon(or fish) and it was just not good at all. The sauces were good and is what allowed me to finish it. I was very disappointed and will never step foot in that place again. I believe that the problem is their oil. Probably never change it and although, I don't see any fish on the menu, tasted like someone had fried fish in the oil and it impact the taste and flavor of the shawarma i had. Maybe their other non-fried entres are good but I will never know. Shawarma Guys, you done son! I will give it 2 starts because the cashier was very pleasant. read more

Tried the shawarma wrap (Brian's way) so that it's crispy. Soooo good! Super crispy and super flavorful. I asked for the pickles on the side which was the right way to go so you can add as you go. The only thing is that there's always this grainy texture I get every time I eat the beef. I don't know if it's the meat or the sauce. Still pretty good and I will definitely come back. We also go the Philly cheesesteak which was so good! The right amount of sauce and meat with cheese on top. There's a hint of spice because of the jalepenos in it. The only thing I would change would be that the bread is a little toasted. Came out soggy but still pretty good. Enjoyed every bite. read more

5/5- great customer service. Easy to order. I went ahead and ordered off of the company website. I asked for extra garlic sauce. It is delicious. The presentation of the food was great as well. Salad was fantastic. Hummas was creamy and nice. I will say the rice had a strong taste of cardamom, it was not bad, but could of been a little less. Besides that, I will be back and I highly recommend checking this place out. read more

I was in the mood for falafel, and so my husband did a search and found this place. We placed our order online before we got there and then waited for them to actually make the order. I got the falafel pita wrap type sandwich. It was extremely salty. And I think the salt was coming from the pickles. There was a lot of dill pickle in the wrap and I usually am a fan of pickles, but this was almost too salty for me to eat as a matter of fact I couldn't finish it. My husband got the Wagyu steak pita wrap, and it was very flavorful. Very good. The steak was so soft and tender, and seasoned perfectly so if I went another time, I'd probably get that. The establishment is assuming from the outside. It's at the end of a dated strip mall with a few parking spaces out front and but in the inside is new and clean and bright and welcoming. So don't let the outside fool you. read more

We got the beef shawarma plate and I ordered the beef in pita but I think they gave us the wrap instead bc it seemed more like a tortilla.... The flavors are good but they don't give enough sauce for the wraps. I prefer Kabob shop with as much garlic sauce as you want. The ambience is clean and the staff was friendly. The Greek salad was good and fresh. The problem was that there was a rock or piece of pottery in the tabouli! I first thought it might be an olive pit but it had sharp edges.... See below.... I was lucky that I didn't crack my tooth on it! Be careful about picking through your parsley this going forward..... read more

Ordered their Beef Wagu Cheesesteak and was not a fan. There were some pretty gristly pieces of steak, and whatever they marinated the meat in was not my favorite. I did eat the entire thing but definitely wont order it again. I did not like the seasonings that are used. The bread was perfect. I have had their shawarma in the past, and enjoyed that, but the cheesesteak (IMO) was not something I enjoyed. read more

Came here after a workout for quick bite and was blown away by the quality and quantity of the plate I received. The wagyu beef and chicken shawarma plate was packed over a bed of yellow basmati rice with a side of hummus and tabouli. Meat was well seasoned and juicy, I made mini sandwiches with the pita bread. Their hot sauce was great as well, tasted like a watered down sweet Thai chile sauce but worked with the meal. Service was great, food came out quick and staff were friendly. Parking is a bit limited in the storefront but worth the trip, will be rotating this place in for after gym on the go post workout meals. read more

Solid for casual takeout, frankly the chicken is better than the beef in my opinion. Rice and hummus as good. Definitely a take out spot though, not great for dine in read more

The quality was amazing but I think personally there was a flavor or two I wasn't a fan of. I also am a huge fan of tzatziki and bummed it didn't come with the plate, I wish instead of the garlic stuff they added tzatziki on top of the falafel and shawarma plate. All in all I would like to come back and order something different, I could tell the quality was top tier and the service was super fast. read more

I've been here a few times and nothing I've had misses. My favs are the beef egg rolls and chicken ones, flavor profiles on those are phenomenal. The hot sauce and lemon cilantro sauce is very good on anything. We've had the beef and chicken schwarma plates and bowls, you can't go wrong with either. We've tend to order ahead of time so it's ready when we get there, but folks behind the counter are very kind and quick. Restaurant parking is small but I've never had issue with getting a spot. Can be somewhat pricey, but well worth in my opinion, and you generally will get more than one meal out of a plate or bowl. Nothing special about the restaurant layout itself, focus is definitely on the food. read more

Came for lunch for takeout during the week and wow it was delicious and the service was really great. Friendly and I was greeted upon walking in and the food we got was so good. On the pricier side but the portions and the quality is good. I got the plate beef and chicken shawarma and tabouli was well balanced, pita and meat was fresh and hot. Also got the bowl and a fattoush wrap for the family. Overall clean inside and nice and strong AC on a hot day. A few parking spots out front. We would eat here again and they have egg rolls too which I didn't try this time. read more

First time coming, the food was just okay the chicken and beef were both quite dry, and the portions of sauce are limited. The pita seemed thin and didn't taste freshly made it felt like it had been sitting around for a while. I placed a phone order and went in to pick it up. When I arrived staff were still working on it and I ended up waiting longer than necessary. Apparently my food was ready while I was waiting but they did not communicate with each other that I was there. By the time I ate the food was cold. Overall I've had better meals elsewhere and I don't plan to return. read more

Forget best shawarma....this had to be some of the best food I've ever had overall! It was my first time here so i ordered the wagyu beef and chicken plate. It was phenomenal! Juicy pieces of tender, flavorful meat on top of delicious rice. It also came with a side of hummus and a salad of some type. Both were extremely delicious and freshly made! And I can't forget about the hot sauce that came with the meal. It was the cherry on top! Very spicy with a tangy kick! I'd give this place 6 stars if I could! It was all so good! I also ordered a baklava. It was the perfect way to end the meal. And as if delicious food weren't enough, the service was amazing. They greeted me when I came in, quickly took my order and had my food ready to go within a couple minutes. I could not be more impressed by this place and would highly recommend it to everyone! read more
