    Chicken shawarma pita

    No bc what is this? I got the chicken shawarma, I didn't see the size until I got home, it was my first time going, wouldn't go back, it tastes like an egg roll...size of it too actually. It's not even filled all the way.

    We grabbed lunch while we were in town and I remember this place had great vegan options. It was hard to decide between the vegan chicken cutlet or vegan cheese steak but since it's rare to find a vegan cheese steak, I went with that. I'd normally get the breaded vegan chicken cutlet and honestly, it's cooked to perfection but I needed to try something new. My husband got the wagyu beef schwarma plate and loved it. We shared the baklava and got a side of fries as well. Our food came out quickly after ordering. Overall, really good and it hit the spot!

    Shawarma Guys is serving Mediterranean food from their food truck on grape Street that also has a no frills high-top table and tent to enjoy the food there. SERVICE Order ahead online or in person. Staff calls out names. FOOD 5/5 Wagyu Beef Shawarma Egg Rolls (2pcs) So flavorful and freshly made - do not skip the garlic sauce! Other ingredients include secret sauce, caramelized onions, jalapeños, and white American cheese wrapped in a crispy wonton blanket.

    The original Shawarma Guys food truck still operates to this day. One of our friends insists this location tastes the best so I had to drop by to see if that was truly the best. Had their usual Shawarma bowl (5/5) and Wagyu Beef Shawarma Fries (6/5). I couldn't tell the difference between this location versus other Shawarma Guys stores which was good since that proved their quality control was on-point. My partner has me now hooked on Shawarma Guys. Their food was Halal and good for the soul!

    This feast feeds a family! Look at all that protein. This family tray was perfect for a get together night in. The falafel was my favorite! Paired with the garlic sauce, chef's kiss.

    I ordered the Wagyu Beef and Chicken Shawarma plate $20, which came with basmati rice, hummus, tabouli, and some pita bread. The meat was tender and the tabouli added a balance of freshness that complimented the richness of the meat and hummus. I recommend adding a side of their garlic sauce for $1 extra to dip your pita bread into. Their Wagyu beef shawarma egg rolls and chicken shawarma egg rolls are a good appetizer as well. We really enjoyed them. Tip: Kids eat free with a paid adult entree! What a nice bonus. They don't sell drinks but you can buy drinks next door at the liquor store. They make your order fresh to order so allow 5-10 minutes depending on the line.

    We got the half beef and half chicken plate to try. Trust me when I say--stick with the beef. The chicken was good too, but it wasn't as tender or flavorful as the beef. I'd definitely come back again. There's so much flavor, and everything pairs really well together. I especially enjoyed the green mixture they served on the side--it had cilantro, onion, and tomato (I think?). It was citrusy and added the perfect fresh crunch to the rice and beef. We also got the falafel, but that was a miss. It was dry, hard, and lacking in flavor. We couldn't even finish it. I'd skip that one.

    Mediterranean food is easily one of my top 5 cuisines. I wasn't sure what to expect from a food truck, so I've passed on this place a few times. Finally gave them a shot. The wagyu beef shawarma? Flavor bomb. Tender, juicy, melt in your mouth beef that made me experience a moment of euphoria. The hummus? Creamy, silky, so good and so smooth it felt like it was hitting on me :) Now let's not forget about the Wagyu beef shawarma egg rolls? These little bundles of fried goodness slapped harder than an Asian mom on report card day. Service is quick, portions are decent, and everything tastes freshly made. Shawarma guys will be on my repeat list. Give them a go and see for yourself. Welp! Onto the next!

    Food is so good. We didn't realize there is no seating. Some pictures on Yelp must be another location because they show some tables and chairs. Not this location....we ended up eating at the bus stop.

    I've been to the Mira Mesa location and I loved! But this food truck location... questionable, especially for the og... me and my friend got the beef and chicken plate, and the chicken plate AND WE BOTH FELT NAUSEOUS AND STOMACH ACHE IMMEDIATELY AFTER ! Really disappointed. + you can tell from the picture. I barely pushed the food around and there's ZERO rice ??? For $19 not worth for the amount or the sickness.

    My favorite shawarma spot in San Diego. We always get the wagyu beef and chicken shawarma combo. Portions are large, easily making 2 meals for myself. Both meats are good, but if you're debating between the two I'd choose the beef. I'm not too much of a hummus person, only when I get this plate as it's fresh and smooth. Staff is always friendly. It can take a bit of time for your food if it's busy but it's worth the wait.

    Tucked behind the Bottle House liquor store, this spot is easy to miss, but totally worth seeking out. I found it thanks to Yelp and was surprised to learn Guy Fieri had been here! I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Wrap and Lemon Cream Chicken Fries. Both were absolutely delicious. The chicken was juicy, the wrap was crisp, and the fries were seasoned perfectly with tender, katsu-style breaded chicken. I just wish there was more of that tangy lemon garlic cream sauce. Fun tip: don't skip the garlic and chili sauces. The chili sauce is tangy, slightly spicy, and refreshing. Service was fast (only a 5-minute wait), but note that parking is tight and there are only two tables so most people grab takeout. I was lucky to snag a seat and eat on the spot. I plan to come back for the wagyu shawarma wrap, lemon garlic wings, and shawarma eggrolls next time! Food: 10/10 fresh, hot, juicy, and delicious Customer Service: 7/10 it's a food truck so it's fast and efficient Parking: 5/10 street parking mainly, only two parking spots available in front of the liquor store.

    I was really looking forward to trying this food spot, but my experience was that it was overly hyped. I got the chicken and beef shawarma plate for about $20 and it really didn't have a huge portion of meats. I felt the meat was a bit dry and could've used more sauce. There was a small drizzle of the garlic sauce on top of the meat. The tabouleh and rice were ok. Hummus was average, but the sides of pita were extremely dry and not even warm (although they were served in foil). My husband got the beef shawarma pita and also said it was just average. I liked the falafel, but overall I was disappointed in my dining experience. Note they do not have any seating and are located in a liquor store parking lot. They have two small bar type tables to stand at, but those were taken on a Friday evening. We waiting about 10 minutes for our food after ordering without there being a line. The menu also differed from what was on their website, so note they didn't have any bowls (on plate entrees) on the menu in person. There are other Mediterranean spots I prefer over visiting here again.

The menu was a bit confusing, but I know that I like grilled veggies and Greek salad and then Ike was able to pick my protein that I wanted so that seemed easy enough. The base price with falafel or chicken Shawarma was Close to $16 but since I chose the meat, they added two dollars to my total. It took about 10 minutes for them to assemble my meal, but my veggies were cooked fresh on the stove, which was really nice. They tasted very freshly cooked just as they would as if I had cooked them myself at home. I was there about 1245 on a Monday and there were a few people there and they had some takeout orders so my order took about 10 minutes before I could walk out the door with it. They had a nice condiment bar where you could pick out some yogurt with dill sauce and then they're famous garlic yogurt sauce, as well as a jalapeño sauce And another spicy hot one that I would never try. When I got back to the jury room to eat my meal, I saw that there was a nice quantity of the fresh salad and the grilled vegetables but the meat was piled high! The employees were working efficiently and the place was spotless and orderly.

When I replied that was not true with photo evidence, the restaurant then said they had made another pizza and "a guy" came to pick it up. I told them I neither received another pizza, nor was I even informed I would be getting another pizza. Then they said the manager told them that *I* came and picked up the pizza. 1 - I'm female. 2 - I was too sick to leave my house to walk to the restaurant across the street, I was absolutely not getting in my car to drive anywhere. It's unfortunate because I would have come back here because the food quality was good but I work in hospitality myself and it's clear these people don't care about retaining customers. There are enough other pizza places to choose from that treat you way better.
