This is very unassuming place and absolutely worth a stop. It's tucked in the back of a convience store and a sweet lady runs it. The restaurant itself is pretty basic for a casual place with a few tables to eat at and a tv. The world cup was on when I visited. The magic though is what comes from behind the counter. I ordered a gyro and freshly made baklava. The gyro itself was filling and packed with delicious flavor. So glad I ordered the baklava as it was the perfect cap to a great meal. Definitely give this place a try! read more

This is the first time I have ever had Shawarma. My son was playing Shawarma Kiosk, it's a game on Roblox, and began looking for a restaurant which served Shawarma. We were going to be in Salt Lake and decided to give the Shawarma Shack a try. Once we entered I knew this was going to be authentic food and I was right. I had the beef Shawarma and fries and it was amazing. Words can't describe the flavor, you have to try it for yourself. If I lived in Salt Lake I'd probably eat there at least three days a week. The portions were good and reasonably priced. Service was excellent and did not have to wait long for our food. My only complaint is that you have to pay to park, it's located in the downtown area. Give this place a try , you'll want more. read more

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. read more

Shawarma Shack - Combo Platter - Middle Eastern Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

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. read more

Shawarma Shack - Chicken Shawarma plate. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

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. read more

We decided to come here after our Friday at Dragonsteel Nexus. We were exhibitors and have been on our feet all day, chatting with folks, and were starving. We went to two other places and were told it would be an hour wait for both. No prob - so we saw this place pop up and decided to call and were told to come on down. When we got to the front, we knew the food was going to be amazing. Any food establishment in the back of a convenience store is always a winner. This is just a fact. The staff was friendly, the menu was straight forward, the place was cleaned (the floor was literally just mopped), the food was delicious and fresh... we all cleared our plates and also ordered some baklava for the road. Looking forward to coming back next year!! read more

Chicken shawarma and white sauce were delicious, but that meat portion had to have been a joke. $17 for a platter and you MAYBE get 4oz of meat. The rest of the platter is full of salad fixings and rice. Decent place for last minute dinner option like my situation, but I'll probably skip it next time and keep looking for a delicious shawarma that is reasonably priced for the portions you get. read more

Great food and great service!!!! The falafel is extremely yummy as well as their shawarmas

You wouldn't even know this place exists, it's hidden in the back of a convenience store. The service was amazing, the food was made fresh and came out so quickly. I highly recommend checking out shawarma shack! read more

Classic Schwarm. Back of the convienence store is a nice little spot with some good schwarma and some good hot sauce

I got a combo wrap. Chicken is decent, could have had more but the beef is absolutely terrible! Not even edible.

Very good food and large portions. Curry chicken was perfect and not overpowering.Excellent staff. NY style atmosphere.

Best chx shawarma in Utah! Ate here tonight and it was fast, friendly and super delicious. So glad to have discovered it - we'll be back!

Food tasted ok but my wrap was skimpy compared to the people sitting around me....hardly any chicken. Very disappointing

Unique location but amazing food. I prefer quick, healthy meals while traveling and this hit the spot. Highly recommend.

Had the Gyro plate and it was amazing. The meat and the rice were perfectly seasoned and generous portions. The humus was really good and made for a complete meal. Service was quick and friendly. I really enjoyed the ambience. It has a very New York vibe with the restaurant in the back of the shop (Vape on Main). Will be going back to try the other items on the menu. read more
