The food here was amazing! Everything was so fresh and delicious. I had been here once before for an event, I really liked their Waygu cheesesteak sandwich. Their beef bowls are pretty good too. We ordered online for pickup, everything was quick and easy, I received my order without any issues. I can't wait to come by and try the other items on the menu. read more

Service - not helpful, very mid, would not give suggestions Ordered- beef wagyu and chicken shawarma (brians way- fried) Didn't know about the sauces- wasn't offered (went back in after seeing on TikTok) Taste- very mid- under seasoned- definitely needed the sauces for flavor, but brians way was the way to go. How can something be both dry (meat) and greasy at the same time Expensive for what you got. read more

I love the food from here, everything was so fresh and delicious. I ordered the beef and chicken shawarma bowl, which came with rice, tabouli, hummus, sauce, and came with a side of pita bread. It was a good-sized portion, but the flavors make me want more. We also ordered their Waygu beef cheesesteak sandwich with fries, the sandwich was thick and very gooey. It tasted amazing and could be enough for two people. The service was quick and easy, and this location was pretty clean inside. read more

Not that good. I got the chicken cream chop wrap and chicken shawarma wrap and I don't recommend either. Cream chop wrap broke up on me half way through and chicken shawarma wrap was 50% bread and 50% meat and practically nothing else. I have pictures read more

I decided today was the day to give Shawarma Guys a shot. I arrived a little before 11AM. The restaurant was pretty empty but it did appear they were on a sizable "to go" order. It took quite a while for anyone to acknowledge but I was finally able to order the Wagyu Shawarma. After I placed my order I waited and waited and still waited some more. Finally I was able to get the attention of someone behind the counter. They asked if I needed something. I said I am still waiting for my lunch. Well they couldn't find my order anywhere. My guess is that it got shipped out with the go order. Eventually I got my lunch. It was MID at best. For Wagyu beef I thought the meat was on the tough side. It was barely warm. I was not a fan. There are so many flavors going on that it's hard to taste the tough, stringy beef. The restaurant is bright clean and inviting. They could use a crew who matched. After leaving, I couldn't help thinking about all the hype they get. It was lost on me. I won't be back. read more

Easily my favorite spot for beef shawarma: it's flavorful and tender. The chicken shawarma fries are packed with protein and fries. I always treat myself to the egg rolls, but the real standout is Bryan's way pita sandwiches. Portions are big and super filling. There are community tables, but I usually prefer to take it to go. read more

The food was simply outstanding - tasty, freshly made and savory. Beef shawarma was the best followed by the chicken shawarma. The rice, humus and pita perfectly complemented together. I can see why they were voted #1 in Yelp. The staff were welcoming and made helpful suggestions. The ambiance was casual, airy and comfortable. Highly recommended! read more

Shawarma Guys is so good. I tried it this weekend and it was the perfect pickup spot for our group hangout. The food truck in South Park serves amazing food -- fresh, flavorful, and generous portions for the price. We had the falafel, the chicken/beef wagyu plate, the Greek salad, and the wagyu beef egg rolls. Everything was delicious. The plate comes with hummus, tabbouleh, and yellow basmati rice, and it's honestly perfect for two people to share. If South Park isn't convenient, they also have restaurant locations in La Mesa and Mira Mesa, so you can check out whichever one is closest to you. A great spot for anyone craving bold, tasty Mediterranean food. read more

I came here to get the crispy chicken and crispy beef shawarma wraps for my boyfriend and I after it went viral. However I have to say we were disappointed that there wasn't much flavor. Also, if you want sauces, it costs extra. I personally would not come back but if you must, the chicken is better than the beef. read more

I got the chicken and beef plate. I enjoyed the chicken a lot. The beef was a little on the sweet side for me. The rice was really good. I got this as a to go order but the inside was clean and the service was very fast for such a large order. read more

Shawarma Guys - Chicken and Wagyu Beef & Chicken Shawarma Bowl - Halal Near Me - San Diego, California

We arrived on a busy weeknight to dine as a family. We were greeted by a nice young lady at the front counter. She smiled and was very helpful with us deciding our order. This location is in a busy shopping strip mall where Sprouts also is. There are so many people coming here to eat. The seating layout is very challenging. The tables are perpendicular to the walls and they are close together. On a busy night, it is very challenging to sit together with your family without forcing others to move aside or change their seating. We ordered: 1 Chicken & Wagyu Beef Shawarma Bowl, 1 Chicken & Wagyu Beef Shawarma Plate, and a Wagyu Beef Plate, plus 3 fountain drinks. Because of the challenging seating layout and busy dining time, we started sitting against the wall cramped next to a party of 2. Once another party left their dining table, we were able to move to the empty table to done together as a family. Our food came out after about 12-15 minutes. It was hot and freshly prepared. The staff here is so customer service friendly and we absolutely love their food. I like that they have the Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives playing on the TV in the restaurant. It's the episode with Shawarma Guys founder cooking and owner and Guy Fieri tasting the cooked food and loving it! Shawarma Guys is so good and we have been going to them since their original South Park Truck days. Love it! read more

I came in for the first time today to try it out. I looked around the menu and there were so many things to choose from. I took my time scanning the menu. The cashier was very helpful and recommended the wagyu wrap with the lemon garlic sauce. The meat inside was well seasoned and tender (not chewy at all). The pickles and onions gave it a nice acidity to balance out the savory meat. Overall, food and service was great. The restaurant was clean and organized. Will definitely come back to try their other items on the menu. read more

I came here for a YELP Elite experience last time and it was really good so since I was in the area I thought I pay another visit. I had to visit the dentist so I decided to order some take out on the way home as well... Me and my MOM always try to shop and order as much food from San Diego as we can before heading back to IE... CHICKEN AND WAGYU PLATE: 9/10 There's definitely a lot of flavor and fragrance! I enjoyed the chicken slightly more than the beef. I also thought the meats were a bit salty but the GARLIC SAUCE was FIRE!!!... WAGYU EGGROLLS: 10/10 STAR OF THE SHOW!!! I think this is one of their signature dishes! It keeps me coming back for more! Love this dish. It's a MUST TRY!!!!... SERVICE: 10/10 Very nice and friendly service. If you don't understand anything the menu they will gladly explain. There was no rush to order. The food came out pretty fast!!!... SHAWARMA GUYS REALLY HITS YOUR CRAVING SPOTS!!!! read more

The space felt a bit empty for dine-in, as most of the traffic was from takeout and delivery orders rather than people eating inside. We came to try the new crispy pita sandwich as seen on social media, and it was just okay. The pita had a nice crunch, but the flavors were overpowered by the pickles, making the sandwich taste overly sour. The portions were also on the smaller side, so it didn't feel like the best value. The combo came with noticeably more rice than meat, which was a bit disappointing. On top of that, sauces are an extra charge, and they didn't really add much in terms of flavor. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but it didn't quite live up to the hype. read more

This is the best shawarma hands down! They seriously need to open one in North County. We heard of this place and initially came for an event and then came back because it's so good. Order at the front, find a seat. I got the bowl, half and half (beef and chicken). They use quality Wagyu beef as it was not chewy. Super tender. The chicken was good too. The spices/seasoning on the meats were delicious. So much flavor!!! Kids eat free with an entree purchase of a certain price or more. The kids bowl came out pretty plentiful too. Their plates are good too, and they add all the stuff to it like hummus, tabouli, basmati rice and garlic paste with pita bread without extra costs. Really wish they had one in San Marcos! Great for lunch and dinner. They also have family sizes. read more

After being introduced to Shawarma Guys during an Elite Experience last year, I returned recently as a normal customer. Shawarma Guys is a single store front with counter and open kitchen on the left as you enter, tables on the right. Counter service is very good, as is the turn-around time to have a meal delivered to a table. I like the Wagu Beef & Chicken & Shawarma Bowl, which comes with yellow basmati rice, hummus, tabouli (an Eastern Mediterranean parsley-based salad), pita bread and toum (garlic sauce). (4/5 $17.25) and the Chicken Shawarma Egg Rolls (4/5 $11 50), which come with a tasty spicy dipping sauce. Parking is tight in the small shared lot in front of the restaurant, with additional parking available in the nearby Village at Mira Mesa parking lot. read more

This is my favorite shawarma place. Move over TKS! The meat is tender, flavorful and just amazing. They need a north county location, like in San Marcos. I got a wrap this time, it was good, but I prefer the bowl or plate. Get half or the beef is a must try. They give you so much food. Best shawarma in town Plenty parking Garlic sauce is fire read more

We ordered one chicken shawarma pita and two beef shawarma pitas, all made "Bryan's way." While the food initially tasted good, the aftermath was awful. Within hours, we ended up with severe stomach aches and nonstop runs. It honestly felt like food poisoning -- thankfully no vomiting, but still completely miserable. This was enough to put us off for good. Taste doesn't matter if the food makes you sick. Never again. read more

First time I've tried Shawarma guys. I've heard great reviews from friends and stumbled upon it today and knew I had to try it. First off, service was great. The cashier was friendly and hooked us up on the sauces which I always appreciate. Restaurant was clean, and had about a classroom full of seating. I got the beef and chicken shawarma plate, around $20. I swear, at first when I ate it I thought it was good. Not great. Then I waited a few hours, got the munchies, reheated it and I swear letting the flavors settle a little bit made a good meal into a life changing late munchies meal. I'll will absolutely be back. Yum. read more

Shawarma Guys - Beef and chicken shawarma - so bomb. - Halal Near Me - San Diego, California

I've been to this location over 15 times. The last few times, the food quality has been a little less. Food coming cold, not fully cooked, etc. Unfortunately, today my order of fries was excessively small. If I'm ordering a whole order of fries, I expect the cup to be filled and not have the bottom of the fry barrel. With prices as they are, I would expect to get a full order. Customer service is always great. I would suggest that they let people know about their healthcare worker discount or offer it if they are in healthcare attire. Two times ago, I came, and I was in full scrubs with a hospital badge, and I paid. When I got home and looked at the receipt, I realized they didn't give it to me. So I always make sure to ask. Edit: Reached out and provided excellent customer service. I do want to stress that over all the food is great. I go there so often because I love it. I will edit/ write an updated review after my next visit. read more

Went here to try out a newer place in Mira Mesa. The location is nice, with a lot of parking and close to a lot of other businesses. The restaurant isn't huge but has enough seating. They're have a whole wall of different craft sodas at the front but no fountain drinks. There was also a gelato stand in the front but I didn't see anything in it. When you go in you can order in person or on the kiosk. The service was fine for what they had to do, bring your food out, answer questions, get you sauces or waters but nothing amazing and wouldn't expect anything more. The food was pretty good but I wasn't blown away by it. The portions were a good size but I felt like the meats were a little dry and I wish they offered more sauce for free- I think you can pay for more. The fries were good but some were a little soggy especially in the middle and it only had the sauce that was drizzled on top. The Wagyu beef was more flavorful in my opinion and the rice on the plate was really delicious. I also liked that it came with tabouli vs a regular side salad. I got the lemon garlic sauce with the beef plate and the sauce was so good and added a really nice freshness to the plate. Again I wish they gave you more of those sauces. The menu is so expansive, including things like wraps, cheesesteaks, and even egg rolls. Wish I could've tried one of those too but I was way too full after my plate. I'll have to go back to try something else next time! read more

The place is amazing. The food is so good and the portion sizes are so big that I was able to make almost 3 meals out of it. The rice is so flavorful and the meat is juicy and full of flavor. The egg rolls are delicious but definitely need to be eaten while hot. The service was okay, we weren't greeted when we came in and the girls up front were on their phones but they were nice when we got our food. There is plenty of seating inside but it is very close to each other. read more

Shawarma Guys is SO GOOD! Wow. It's been a while since I tried the food truck in South Park. It's great to see that they've expanded and are making some excellent food. The food is so flavorful and the portions are huge! I enjoyed a delicious chicken shawarma bowl. I appreciated that they were willing to make modifications. I don't like parsley, so I didn't want the tabbouli. Instead, they gave me all hummus. The meat was so tender and all the flavors were popping. I really loved the sauce drizzled on top of the bowl. I love that they also make eggrolls with the shawarma meat. I had a chicken egg roll, which was fun. Food was so excellent! Parking is accessible. It's an absolute must spot! read more

I've been wanting to try this place since they opened. Met my family here one day. I was that hungry but I nibbled on everything we ordered. We ordered a variety of items. Sour: wagyu egg rolls - I've been wanting to try it. I wouldn't necessarily say it was a complete sour. It was good. My only feedback is that I wish it was crispier. It would take it to the next level as it is filled with lots of flavor. They drizzled sauce on top but I wish there were more of a creamier sauce we can dip it in. Sweet: We also ordered the wagyu beef and chicken plate and wagyu beef cheesesteak. Overall I would say it was pretty tasty. My favorite is all the different soda bottle options they offer. read more

The food here was great! I found out about this place through an foodie influencer on Instagram. What got me was there wagyu beef shawarma cheesesteak! I ordered two of em; one for me and one for my coworker. I went with my mom and my service dog and ordered inside. The wait wasn't that long. It was about 10 to 12 minutes. The staff was really nice and I love how clean the restaurant was! It's a pretty small restaurant inside! Great beer selection & I think they also had hard kombucha too! And of course they have the regular nonalcoholic drinks. I took mine home to eat; I ate half that night and the rest for lunch the following morning. The portion size of the cheesesteak was good. The flavors were immaculate! It was cheesy, meaty, spicy, just perfection! I will come back here again and again! I want to try the other items on the menu, but the cheesesteak was literally perfection. read more

Place was nice and clean, staff was friendly and helpful, and food was very good! We went on a Saturday evening. We ordered from the kiosk. It was user-friendly. The only issue was that it charged us for the "free kid's meal" that they advertise on their walls. When we went back to point it out, they fixed it immediately. (They said we had to place the order with a staff member to get the free kid's meal.) We got two chicken & beef bowls and one plate of the same dish. The wait was reasonnable, the food fresh and delicious. Portions were generous too, even for the kid's meal. Thumbs up from all of us! The garlic sauce was very good! read more

Absolutely worth every visit!! Food always fresh and made to order. My favorite thing on the menu is the Wagyu egg-rolls!!! Omg so delicious with the chili sauce!!! Mouth watering and just amazing!!!! I also love the chicken bowl that is serviced with rice and the fresh hummus and pita. Come hungry and ready to be satisfied cause Shawarma Guys never disappoint. Service is always friendly and welcoming even when the lines get a little backed up. You can tell this establishment knows what they are doing because when the customers are willing to wait to eat here with a smile on their face?!!! Oh yeah it's about to be good!!!! The ambiance is laid back and chill making for a great dinning in atmosphere. Supporting Shawarma is always worth it and I highly recommend giving this location a try as I know you'll Thank me later read more

The wagyu shawarma eggrolls are such a good deal (2 for $11) because each one is very generously stuffed with super tender wagyu beef, caramelized onions, and cheese. The wagyu beef in the egg rolls is actually fattier and more obviously wagyu than the beef that is in the bowls. Don't skip this! We tried the wagyu beef shawarma as well as the mixed wagyu beef and chicken shawarma bowls ($15). They need to buy smaller takeout bowls because initially we thought we were getting fleeced, the bowl was half empty! But we got SO full by the end of the meal so it was a visual trick & there was actually a lot of food. The beef tasted like normal beef (good, but nothing that would make it stand out as wagyu the way the beef in the egg rolls tasted). The restaurant was interestingly somewhat sterile in decor. Service was quick (we did takeout), and there were plenty of parking spaces in the free shopping center lot. read more

Shawarma Guys - the wall - Halal Near Me - San Diego, California

I stopped by after seeing this place on YouTube and was excited since it's a halal, seed‑oil‑free kitchen. The restaurant looked clean, but seating is very limited unless you're comfortable sitting close to strangers. The staff was friendly, though not very helpful with dietary restrictions. The kiosk shows photos but doesn't label items as dairy‑free, vegan, vegetarian, or gluten‑free, which made ordering harder. For reference: the chicken shawarma contains dairy, the wagyu beef does not, and there are vegan meat options. I ordered a plate, and while the meat quality was good and clearly fresh, the flavors didn't stand out. The seasoning was mild, and the overall plate lacked the bold, layered spices and punchy sauces I usually expect from Mediterranean food. Portions were decent, but nothing felt especially memorable or crave‑worthy. I also noticed tables weren't wiped down between guests, and the communal seating setup often leaves multiple seats unusable, which feels inefficient and a bit unsanitary. Overall, I appreciate the concept and ingredient standards, but between the muted flavors, seating layout, and cleanliness issues, I don't feel it lives up to its "best in the U.S." hype. You should try it if in the area and let us know what you think. read more

Shawarma guys!! I love a good shawarma. Line moves fast here. Had a big order and food came out pretty quick Chicken shawarma fries. Got too soggy. Don't think I'll order this again Chicken and beef plate. Quality of meat is great. The rice was light. Airy cooked perfectly. Just didn't care for their sauces at all. Portions were really big. Overall was a decent meal. But I saw one of the cooks warm up a dressing. And pour it hot straight into a plastic sauce container. That's a big no no for me. I don't know which sauce it was. But I don't like doing that to plastic. read more
