Came in per great hearsay when in town. Gas station w/ Shwarma/gyros+ falafels . Might B more- those are main items. Either in pita as sandwich, or as plate w/rice meat of choice, hummus+ mini salad. He got Chix Shwarma plate + I had gyros. Meat is cut from traditional spit (ie. good quality) rather than cubed (flavorless) ' pressed parts'. As someone who always cooks/cooked professionally, every single bit of what we got was very good to excellent. Very reasonable prices- like locals pay, not tourist rip off. Order @ counter, food done quick. A few small tables inside; but clearly meant to be carry out driven. I'd eat here very regularly if I lived here- for taste, quality, and for value. Loved it! Nice guys working here too. No waiter/great food- throw them a decent tip! read more

Wow The food is so so so good! Everything is so fresh and delicious The cashier/order taker is adorable as well This is a must for healthy sustainable food read more

Chicken shawarma was not good. Pita bread was stale. Ordered numerous times in the past and food was good. Today there was no seasoning on the chicken. Tasteless. Bread was hard as a rock. Called to ask if the recipe changed and was treated rudely. read more

When did chicken shawarma become unseasoned chicken and bland rice?? Weak. Don't bother. Worst experience in a long time. Pita was stale and inedible. Avoid . read more

This is one of those "If You Know You Know" places. Delicious and the owners are almost always there.

Wow! This food is so good. You'd never think you could get this kind of really good food at a gas station... but here we are stuffing our faces. The chicken and lamb plate w/ hummus and tzatziki sauce are excellent. Top pick! read more

Excellent quick food service! I was impressed with the open kitchen and the freshness of the meat. We had the gyro wrap plate and the chicken shawarma plate. Both with salad which tasted better than it looked, and hummus, which was good, but not as thick as I'm used to. I thought for the price the serving size was fair. As others have noted, they do charge extra for pita bread. Overall pretty good and will definitely return! read more

I've been picking up food here for years, but hesitate to go back because of the way I was treated last time I stopped by. The two male employees were "strangely" rude. Every single thing I ordered was answered with a snide snicker, or a correction on my pronunciation of a certain item. The place was empty, yet it took them nearly 20 minutes to slice the gyros, and plop some hummus in a container. The whole experience was rather disturbing, making me wonder if they also spit in my food. read more

Love ittttt. I'm giving 5 stars despite them having very little in the way of seating. That is my one complaint, so I'm getting it out of the way fast. They have a couple tables inside, but they are such a popular lunch spot, they were very much taken. We took our food home and ate. It IS called "on the go" after all, so it's right in the name. My friend and I tried their food for the first time today, and I was impressed. Respectable portions and everything was fresh and cronchy and delicious. I love that with this dish, they give you the falafel and literally all the fixins you need to make your own badass little wraps. Warm pita, tahini, pickles, tomato and onion, cucumbers, lettuce, Kalamata olives, green peppers, and the most delightful creamy hummus. I'm an eggplant fiend, so of course I needed some baba on the side. I got the small size, which was totally adequate, and it was so smokey and good. My friend got the chicken shawarma I believe, and they loved it. Looked like a plump toasted burrito. I saw a lot of other menu items I need to try, like the fried fish, eggplant sammich, and falafel wrap. Will most certainly be going back, since it's not even far from home. The staff were polite and welcoming, even in the middle of a lunchtime rush. As a former food service worker, I can respect that. read more

I love this place, have been going here for years. Staff is kind,friendly and accommodating. I will miss it when im gone.

They really know how to make a great gyro and their hummus is done to perfection... It Is actually a gas station so don't pass it up. read more

Great people working there and tasty food! Don't let it being located at the gas station convenient store stop you. Food is worth it!

Legit middle eastern grub. Excellent humus. The Iraqi kabob was very good and I have had gyros before here and they were also

Tasty! I'm a sucker for restaurants in gas stations, so I was excited when we got there. It's not pretty and you can't really eat in (one table maybe?), but for take out it's great. The gyro was gigantic and came with a salad and hummus. Everything was really good, especially the salad! Even the teenagers we were with were totally into it. read more

I used Shawarma-on-the-go to cater an event I hosted for 30 people. Maher helped me with my order, and he was very responsive and helpful. When I went to pick up my order, everyone was so friendly and they helped me get my order in my car. The food was delicious and reasonably priced! Will definitely use again! read more

I love a good gyro and chicken shawarma so I went into Shawarma on the Go with high expectations. I will first say that the staff is very friendly and welcoming. Quality customer service is something I appreciate. For my visit, I placed a pick up order over the phone and I was able to pick my food up within minutes. I ordered the gyro/chicken shawarma plate that came with a salad, hummus, rice, a side of tzatziki sauce and garlic spread,and a wheat or white pita. It was a good amount of food for the price, but I was automatically disappointed at how dry the chicken was. It had a good flavor but not juicy at all. However, I did enjoy the gyro meat. The rice was okay could have used a little more flavor, and I think there should have been an additional pita bread served with the plate since there were 2 meats. I enjoyed the sauces and the salad. The hummus also had a pretty good flavor. Overall, the plate was okay. I am open to trying something else the next time. The customer service and turn around of getting my food were meaningful highlights of the visit. read more

I love this place! Great price! Great taste! Great portion! It is a corner-store gas station with a little restaurant station inside, so you have an endless options of drinks lol. I have no complaints. Price: 10/10 (pretty cheap! And great portions per dollar!) Environment: 2/10 (it's a gas station what do you expect?, but they usually have their own parking spots open which is uncommon on magazine) Service: 10/10 (these guys are very helpful and stay out of your way! Good comes out very quick!) Experience: 10/10 (when ever i want something quick, tasty and filling, this is a go to for me if im near by!) Food: 10/10 (great taste! Great portions!) read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for Shawarma on the Go. My boyfriend and I have been getting takeout from here at least once a month for over a year. This is the place to go when you're craving good Mediterranean food. No frills or fluffs, just good food. It's connected to a gas station. The line to order is always long so we like to call in our order and the food is usually ready for pickup in 10-20 minutes. I usually get the falafel sandwich and my boyfriend is obsessed with the gyro sandwich. They are so filling. Their hummus is also to die for. The workers are all super nice. Highly recommend. read more

Shawarma on the Go - Left: gyro sandwich right: falafel sandwich. Both are deliciousssss - Mediterranean Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Been here a couple of times including today. Ordered a Gyro that came with hummus and salad. Also ordered the spinach pie aka spanakopita. The Gyro was good with lots of meat but needed some onion and more taziki. The hummus tasted like it came from a mix where you just add water. Seriously. The salad had way too much oregano. The spinach pie was excellent and came with some first class taziki. Service was quick! I will be back for the spanakopita as it was as good as what I had in Greece! read more

I got the chicken plate and wrap for my partner and I, and it was great! Great family-ran restaurant with very affordable menu. We'll be back. read more

Shawarma on the Go is one of our favorite restaurants for ordering takeout Mediterranean food. We always phone in our orders and within 10 minutes it's easy to walk in, pay and pick up. Our favorites are the Chicken Shawarma Platter and the Gyro Lamb Platter. Both can also be ordered as wraps are more than enough to feed two or three people. Each generous platter comes with freshly made hummus, pita bread and a small salad. If you are in a rush and need some great Mediterranean takeout I highly recommend Shawarma on the Go. read more

Shawarma on the Go - Chicken Shawarma Platter - Mediterranean Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the food is tasty. The swarma plate is huge and comes with very tasty rice and a salad. The meat is seasoned well and the salad dressing was wonderful. Not enough pita bread so order extra. One thing though... the Baba Ganou does not come with pita bread. You have to order that separately. Ask for some extra pita bread and you'll be fine! read more

The gyro wrap was spot on. I'm glad I discovered this gem! Dip the fries in the garlic sauce, you're welcome (:

Our go to when no one makes dinner and we are hungry. Fast, efficient and good food. We get the gyro wrap with salad and hummus. So much food. They are always very pleasant when we come in. Call in your order and it's ready when you are. read more

Yes it is in a gas station and Sharawama on the Go is the best place for Middle Eastern food uptown if not New Orleans. We always call in our order and pick up 20 minutes later. And location, inside the gas station, makes it real easy for to drive up, park and pickup your phoned in order. Now if your starving they do have a few tables inside to eat at, but these tables are mostly used by people waiting to pick up their takeout. The Chicken Sharawama Platter and the Gyro Platter both come loaded with seasoned meat, sauce, a small salad and a side of hummas and bread. We have also had both as wraps and they were equally delicious and loaded with chicken or lamb. The ingredients are always fresh, the sauce and seasoning authentic and the portions are VERY generious. I highly recommend this place as they have the best Scharawama in NOLA ! read more

We try to get take out at least once a week! It is so good and the folks are so kind. It is a must have in Uptown!!!

Amazing food! Really delicious! Can't believe it is attached to a gas station. Only a few blocks from my home. Definitely an economical and satisfying choice for some semi-fast food grub! I got the lamb and chicken combo. Both are spiced well and the hummus that came with it was gone too fast. Quite impressed! Just tried some of their sandwiches for the first time! Very good! So convenient! Great attitudes and excellent service! read more

Heard rave reviews about this place. I'm an avid Lebanese food enjoyer, so I knew I had to stop by. Oftentimes in New Orleans, the best food comes from small, unassuming places in gas stations. Unfortunately, this establishment's food did not deliver. Food - Tried the chicken shawarma platter. I've eaten at many many Lebanese restaurants, and the food at this establishment ranks among the bottom. The chicken shawarma was tough and not tender. The tzatziki sauce poured on top was not much of a sauce, so much as an unappetizing white congealed mass. The hummus was perhaps the worst aspect of the meal - far too runny and extremely acidic/sour. And they do not even make their pita bread from scratch - they merely heat up a store bought pita for you (and charge you extra for it! Apparently it is not included in the shawarma platter). The most important aspects of the chicken shawarma missed their mark completely, creating a disappointing experience. Service - N/A, essentially a takeout restaurant with a few tables in the gas station Ambiance - It's a gas station. Don't expect too much here If you're going to have a small restaurant within a gas station, you have to deliver on the food if you expect repeat customers. Unfortunately, the food didn't deliver, and I won't be a repeat customer. read more

So good and the owner is very friendly. Took my daughter here after her doc appt cause she wanted shawarma...it did not disappoint! We'll be back again next time we're in New Orleans! read more

Love this place! Best shawarma place in town for sure. Their meat is very tender and juicy. They definitely don't short you on it either. That pita is packed! Speaking of the pita, they also do that right. Their homemade hummus and salad dressing is perfect. Be sure to try their pine-nut tea. read more

I've been wanting to try Schwarma on the Go for a while now, something about a restaurant attached to the gas station is intriguing and I've heard from multiple people that they make mean schwarma. Finally stopped by and ordered the gyro/chicken combo and baklava. The staff was incredibly friendly and I think that the owner was in that day and made sure we enjoyed our meal. The gyro was perfectly spiced and the chicken was just as flavorful, a little bit smokey too. The hummus was homemade and was super smooth and a great addition to the pita and meat. Plus the tzatziki and whatever lemony yogurt with the chicken. Baklava was super buttery and flaky. They've got a few tables inside as well as a couple outside, and they serve everything in to-go containers if you're on the go. Definitely make a stop by here, it's a hidden gem. read more

Shawarma on the Go - Gyro and chicken combo - Mediterranean Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Tried this place a couple years ago and thought it was bad and overpriced for what you got, but decided to give it another chance last night. Unfortunately it's just as bad as I remember and even more expensive. Was looking forward to chicken shawarma but they were out so went with falafel wrap. They tried to charge me extra for "white bread" without telling me (watch out they seem to do this to everyone and you won't know unless you pay attention at the very end) because even if you get the whole meal, it won't come with pita to dip in the hummus that is included??? Absolutely bizarre. The bread that you do pay extra for (my friend got jipped into paying extra for it without noticing) was one measly piece of cold, store-bought pita. Ended up spending $15 for a falafel wrap that was so wet I couldn't pick it up without it falling apart. I've never ever heard of falafel being this expensive- especially considering you're ordering from a convenience store/gas station. Truly disappointing and the service was less than stellar too- young guys too stoned to answer the simplest of questions. Wish I could get a refund. There are several nice, sit down restaurants on Magazine alone that won't charge this much for falafel that I'll be sticking with moving forward. read more

A new restaurant inside of a gas station... humm so it seems we are going all country style in NOLA finally which is fine with me as good food in gas stations is a great thing. This place usually gives you a large amount of food for a decent price. The first time I went I had enough food for three meals but the second time it was enough for just one, albeit very large, meal. The only complaint I would have is that they don't have fresh brewed iced tea and you only have the fountain drinks or bottle drink options. I also wish they did offer the hot chili paste sauce most of the other Middle Eastern joints in town offer but currently they just have Sriracha. Most people seem to get their food to go here so even though there are some tables here I've yet to seem them used. If you aren't in the mood for Middle Eastern food they also offer a menu of more traditional American food items. Overall I've been pretty happy with my food here so far and they give you a good portion size at a fair price along with being very generous on the condiments they top the food with. read more

I love this place. I'm a customer first and an employee second. The family that owns the place is the most amazing people I ever knew. They care about their customers and make sure to serve quality food. Everything is made from scratch (I love their baba ghanoush!) My husband and I had lunch yesterday there. He ordered the crispy chicken on French, he loved it! I ordered the eggplant sandwich (my favorite). As an employee, I love working there! It's my happy time to be there and the group I work with and customers are simply amazing. My whole family loves their Shawarma, gyro and homemade hummus. I can't say enough about Shawarma on the Go. read more
