    Chicken Shawarma (Halal)
    Sarah S.

    I ordered from Uber Eats, and everything was delicious! I got the Chicken Platter (Halal) with 6-Pc Falafel, Tzaziki Sauce, and Hummus with Bread! They really have the best food in town, because it is so tasty, fresh, and delicious! The meat and sauces with fresh veggies and rice are so yummy, I always enjoy their food!

    The service was absolutely 10/10, I didn't know what to order and normally have a hard time choosing what I want. A sweet lady offered suggestions, later giving me a sample of the chicken which made my decision so much easier. Food is delicious! Very nice experience :)

    Great restaurant to come with the family best Cajun food in town great prices and great service

    ....that secret sauce though.... On one of my monthly walk, talk and drops (flyers) I stopped in here on the good word of a friend in the know. He was right. This place is top notch! Malki, the owner, was working as usual and wearing many hats. She prepared the chicken shawarma as if she'd made it hundreds of times. It was quick and many others were right behind me waiting to put in. An order for the famous wrap. I like everything on it and extra spicy with the secret sauce. Pure deliciousness in every bite. Fast and friendly service and to top it all off, Malki is an awesome community member, participating in making the corridor a better place for the many local businesses. Only On Apache man! ......

    This is the best Mediterranean food I've had. Everything is so tasty and well seasoned. The customer service is outstanding.

    Great spot tucked away near ASU. It's mostly buzzing with university kids good food , affordable prices and stays open until late in the night. I have just tried the chicken shawarma and the burgers the filling was great , especially with the red secret sauce. There is an extra 50 cents to get the sauce on the side. Toppings include lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles and jalapeños. Overall a good find for those late night cravings. Cheers!

    We ended up here accidentally after our two first choices were closed. Overall, a pretty decent experience. Read on... Atmosphere: Shawarma Paradise is in an older strip mall on the corner of Terrace Road and Lemon in an older part of Tempe. The strip mall looks a little sketchy. The atmosphere is very basic, the table tops are made from painted plywood, it's older and on a 10 point clean-scale, I would give it somewhere between a six and a seven. It's relatively comfortable. Service: The lady at the counter started off a bit quiet and shy, but seemed kind. We gave her lots of kudos and praise and that seemed to help her come out of her shell a little bit. She brought us our food with a smile, so that was nice. Overall, I would rate the counter service as an 8 1/2 out of 10. Food: The chicken Shawarma plate she made for us was enormous, which was great. The basmati rice under the chicken Shawarma was warm and steamy, the hummus was pretty decent although I've never had it with green olives in it, so that was a bit different. The pita was warm and large and soft. While the chicken Shawarma portion was gigantic, and it tasted pretty good, it wasn't the best I've had, a bit bland. The garlic sauce was delicious. They don't have a soda machine, so you'll be buying a bottle of something if you're thirsty. The chicken Shawarma plate was around $10 plus a drink, so pretty standard pricing. Overall I would rate Shawarma Paradise a 7 out of 10, making this a 3.5 star review. I would certainly go again and try something new if I were in the area and wasn't jonesing to try something new.

    Falafel Sandwich

    I thought this place was pretty good. I ordered The Falafel Sandwich and Mixed Platter. I enjoyed the sandwich it had great flavor. The platter wasn't my favorite but still pretty good. Next time I'd try one of the Kabobs.

    The Chuck Box is an extremely well known and popular Gem located at the heart of the ASU Tempe…read moreCampus. It has been around for DECADES and there is no question as to why it is still there. When visiting the Chuck Box know that it is cash only (ATM on-site), and super popular. There WILL be a line. The line does move extremely fast, due to the fact that the line cooks are definitely not waiting until you get to the counter to take your order. They will call out to anyone in line (regardless of where in line you are) and take your order, yelling it out if needed. It is such a unique and fun experience. The burgers are not overpriced and are phenomenal! It is self serve toppings, after you pay for your order you can go to the topping bar and add as much to your burger as your heart desires. They additionally have other food on the menu such as veggie burger, chicken sandwhiches, chicken tenders, onion rings, fries, fried zuchinni, fried mushrooms, and more. I have had both the fried zuchinni and mushrooms and I would definitely recommend both options! Since it really popular, be aware that there is limited seating and it is crowded. It is additionally extremely warm (especially during the summer) inside the building due to the grill. If you have not already checked out the Chuck Box, I would definitelly recommend that you check it out as soon as possible!!!

    After reading the glowing reviews, I had high expectations. Unfortunately they weren't met. This…read moreplace is ok, maybe even good, but not what I consider excellent or the best burgers in Arizona. For cash only, the prices seem a little high to me also. To start, my burger tasted pretty good. The cheese was good. Bun was a little dry and stale. The lettuce was yellow and chopped and looked several days old and slightly rotten. Two of my tomatoes had active mold growing on them. It was too dark inside to see it but we ate in the car and saw the moldy spot then. The fries are good but way too salty. We really liked the fried mushrooms. But we made our own dipping sauce which was better than the ranch they give you: mix 2/3 mustard and 1/3 Mayo. Tangy and delicious. We get these at "The Windmill" when we go to the jersey shore and the sauce that comes with the fried mushrooms is a horseradish sauce which is amazing (hint hint, Chuck Box). I would eat here again but bring a flashlight to inspect the produce and lower my expectations. It was good, not great. It smelled kind of off in here also. The AC and vents probably need to be cleaned.

    Literally a menu that you can't go wrong on…read more Many places you go you get the same thing every time (or a limited few). At Dog Haus, I get something different every time and it is always absolutely delicious. They have a pretty decent beer menu as well. Always love coming here.

    So a bunch of Dog Hauses have partnered up with another business called Bad Ass Breakfast Burritos…read morewhich are included in their menu of hot dogs and beers. I decied to try out their borracho burrito which has 3 eggs, bacon, chili, cheese, and tater tots in it. I couldn't really taste the tater tots at all. The chili was a bit too salty for my liking. However, it's a big enough burrito to make you feeling satisfied. Something I really liked was their selection of drinks. They have a specialty section of Tractor beverages which I haven't seen in other places: these drinks were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the strawberry dragonfruit. My meal cost me $11.59 after discounts; this is because you can buy discounted InKind gift cards at Costco. If you don't have a Costco membership, then the InKind app gives you a 20% off discount here. I was one of 5 customers here and got attentive service due to it.

    If you blink, you might drive right past this little bar and grill, as it's set back offv the road…read moresnuggled up next to a bigger building. There is plenty of bar space if you're popping in for a drink.. of course, the actual bar that runs along the shelves of liquor, and there is also a bar on the other side of a roll-up door, perfect for people who come with dogs. There's also a bar space that runs along the window that separates the small dining room and the patio. There are a few tables inside as well as some bigger tables on the patio. The patio is nice with lots of shrubs right outside the rail. The murals on the wall are pretty darn cool - - they're like enlarged historic photos of the area. I love them! And I'm not sure who's giant face is hanging on the ceiling but it's short a spark conversation. The menu here has a little something for everyone. There's the regular loaded fries and wings, salads, and a nice election burgers. We ordered the Philly Salad and the Very Summer Salad with a side order of fries. They make their own ranch, and it is good. I will say they don't seem to skim on salad ingredients either - - the Philly salad was covered with shaved beef, and my berry salad had a lot of chicken and tons of blue cheese. The fries were delicious - - slightly seasoned and crispy. This place is clearly dog friendly. In fact the day we went there was a sweet Pitbull named Daisy who literally hopped up on a bar stool and sat there like a little angel the entire time. The bar had a dog full of water that they sat down on the counter next to her owner's beer. They also have dog biscuits to give. It made my day to see that sweet little dog hanging at the bar having a treat. This really is kind of a spot that feels like it's probably the hangout spot of many people. Great bar food and a good selection of beers. What's not to love?

    Hubby & I had dinner here last Friday. The restaurant was not what we expected…read more It is much smaller than we thought. They have the roll up windows /doors open. They did have misters for some of the outdoor seating. We were able to find a table inside. You go up to the bar to place drink & food orders. The staff were friendly & helpful. The music was loud. Hubby got a beer & I got Tito's & cranberry juice. Hubby got the wings & onion rings. I got the Create Your Own Burger without tomato. The drinks were good. Hubby loved the wings. The onion rings were good. The burger was excellent! I don't know what they do different, but it was really good. The fries were good too. I'm not sure that we will be back since it's a bit of a haul for us.
