    Gyro platter

    Great, tasty meal for only $15! Food was served quickly and it was wonderful. Highly recommend!

    super yummy hole in the wall! This shop is tucked inside / at the back of a convenience store. This shop reminds me of a local college food truck that would travel and serve similar food. They have a pretty healthy servicing of meat, but I do wish they gave a tad bit more (I'm just looking for more protein tbh). Other than that, the flavors were really good and everything was nice and tender. The staff / owner working were all really nice and welcoming. I will be back ! Highly recommend if ur the best.

    One of Anthony Bourdain's rules for travel is, figure out what the place you are visiting does better than anywhere else in the world, and seek out that food. For some reason I frequently find myself doing the opposite. Being from Detroit, I have easy access to some of the best shawarma in North America. Yet, here I am, at a Shawarma spot in Utah. Why? Good question. Well, first is the location. I'm a sucker for places that operate in odd or unconventional locations. Shawarma Shack is tucked away in the back of a convenience story on Main Street in downtown SLC. There is just something about a hole in the wall where food is the focus that makes me feel good. Thee Before I even got my food, I was struck by how good everything smelled. I ordered a beef shawarma sandwich and a side of hummus. Let's start with the sandwich. It comes with cucumber, lettuce, pickles along with white and hot sauce. Ignore my picture, I accidentally was served a bowl instead of the wrap. No worries, I just built my own. This ended up being a happy accident as I was able to taste each of the components individually. The beef was crispy and well seasoned, the crispy bits are my favorite part of shawarma. The white sauce was garlicky and delicious. The hot sauce was quite hot. The only negative was the wrap itself. It came in a tortilla not a pita wrap. That was a bummer. On to the hummus. Hate to say but it was very bland. This surprised me, based on the looks i thought it would be spicy. That wasn't the case. Adding some of the white sauce helped but it still wasn't that great. The bread that came with it wasn't too great either. Giving it a minute on the grill would have helped. Overall it was ok, the crispy shawarma and the white sauce were the stars of the show. I suppose if you don't have shawarma on a regular basis, this place will do the trick. That said, for me it's probably best if I stick with local shawarma.

    The food is amazing! We got the chicken & combo Shawarma plates not knowing what to expect, & what an incredibly flavorful & delicious experience! The food is fresh & portions are big! You won't go hungry here! The restaurant is located at the back of the bodega. We did a pick up order, but I wish we'd chosen to eat there. The place & staff seem so kind & interesting. Next time we're around, we'll definitely eat here!

    The food was good as expected. The sauces were really good as well. The place is through a convenient store so it could be hard to find. Service was fast and friendly and the ambiance of the restaurant was quiet enough as it's in the back of the convenient store so it's quiet enough to enjoy a meal.

    Service was amazing!! The staff/owners were so sweet and chatted with us made us laugh! Gave us some ideas on what to order guided us through the menu! Food was incredible! I mean really great greek food, the baklava had an incredible, rich flavor i could have ordered 10. The falafel, lamb, and chicken were all cooked to perfection. I will be coming here everytime i'm in the area. Ambiance, You know if the restaurant is behind a conviene store/gas station it's gonna hit all your tastebuds! can't wait to come back!

We loved the beet dip and the muhammara. The pita is so soft! The fried cauliflower is a must. I could've eaten it all myself. The Lebanese platter was SCRUMPTIOUS. The rice and lentils and the lemony tahini sauce were a hit!! We got the Kafta and found it to be deliciously spiced and a great pairing. The shakshuka was a tad sweet for our liking and we found the ratio of tomato sauce to eggs was a little much. We will definitely be returning!! What a treat this place is

We started with the fried cauliflower and zaatar fries, both served with an incredible dipping sauce that disappeared embarrassingly fast. The cauliflower was perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, tender inside, and honestly good enough to order again on its own. For my meal, I ordered the shakshuka. It arrived bubbling hot in a cast iron skillet with rich tomato sauce, flavorful meatballs, perfectly baked eggs, and warm grilled pita for scooping up every last bite. I've had shakshuka before, and this was easily one of the best versions I've tasted. Every bite was comforting, hearty, and packed with flavor. Spud went with a Laziz salad alongside another helping of the roasted cauliflower, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Everything that came to the table looked thoughtfully prepared, fresh, and beautifully presented. What made the experience truly memorable, though, was our waitress, Omri. As a Deaf customer, it's always a pleasant surprise when someone can communicate directly in sign language. Omri signed with us, made us feel genuinely welcome, and provided exceptional service from beginning to end. That personal connection meant a great deal to me, and it absolutely elevated an already wonderful meal. I was so impressed that I happily double-tipped her. Great food, warm hospitality, and an experience my son and I will both remember. We'll definitely be back.

Unfortunately, they didn't arrive until 7:01 PM...almost at the same time as our main course, just about 7 minutes apart. For our main dishes, we ordered the beef seekh kebab, beef karahi, and paya with naans. Unfortunately, all of the dishes were a bit too salty, and the portions also seemed slightly smaller than what we remember from previous visits. We also ordered a mango lassi, which unfortunately never made it to our table. Another thing we noticed was the lack of attentive service. No one really checked on us during the meal to see if we needed anything, which made the overall dining experience feel a little less welcoming. Overall, it was an okay experience, but not one that has me particularly excited for our next visit. That said, I'll definitely be back because my parents still love the place...hopefully, the food and service improve by then!
