On the right side is a long counter where you order your food, where they make the food, where you come and pick up your food.

There's also a condiment station with carrots, peppercini peppers, and sauces. It's casual and has a local ethnic vibe. I enjoyed their popular Lamb Shawarma Plate menu item. For $40.00, it comes with everything to make a pita sandwich with portions enough for two. Everything was delicious and fresh. I've never been to Israel, but I feel like I have.

I looked it up on google and it had thousands of reviews so I had to give it a try. the steak shawarma plate was out of this world. and I don't say that lightly! first of all, LOOK at the amount of sides. fresh pita, hummus with the toppings on it, yellow rice, cucumber salad, slaw, olives, pico, and crispy fried onions?? it felt like a whole feast for one plate. every single side was fresh, and it was a fun experience eating everything. the shawarma itself was seasoned perfectly. but the thing that really sent me was the garlic aioli. I would genuinely buy a bottle of it if they sold it. and the rice was so good as well! 10/10 spot- I can't wait to take my parents here as they only eat halal! will definitely come back

I went from sha-hot-a paradise outside to this inside…read more Shawarma Paradise is a nondescript shop in Little Ethiopia. For those who might get lost trying to find it, they're pretty much right across the street from Burger King. After I finally located them and walked in, it looked odd since it felt like almost behind the counter, but you can just walk around to the dining room and the front of the counter. I was recommended a couple of choices and went with the Black Angus Steak Shawarma as a Laffa wrap ($24.50). The employee had me walk over to the Chipotle-esque assembly area after and then walked me through the choices. I recall getting hummus, a mild green sauce of some kind, raw sumac onions, fried onions, fried eggplant, cucumber, pico de gallo, and purple slaw. Then the cool stuff happened when he offered to let me sample some sauce and then get multiple sauces on the side. The curry mango amba is some really challenging stuff that resembled something I've tried at some Indian lunch buffet ages ago, so I'm glad I didn't get it on the wrap. The creamy BBQ aioli (kinda like a sweeter fry sauce, I felt), dill & roasted garlic mayo, and tahini were all better options, the former going especially well with my included side of fries while the dill plays a great supporting role and the tahini just does its thing. I sat down and got to the actual wrap, and it was delicious. The laffa is fluffy and thicker than I thought it might be; it ain't a lavash, that's for sure. The steak is pretty tender, often has that char from the vertical rotisserie it was carved from, and free from chewy bits. It has a nice warming spice rub which you can get more easily before starting to experiment with sauces. All three aforementioned choices worked. Overall, it isn't cheap (especially if you don't have cash on-hand to avoid the surcharge), but I enjoyed it. I also got a bottled lemonade ($4.95) of some sort which they've imported from Israel. It had a little more actual lemon character than American brands, and I kinda plowed through that thing pretty quickly. I'm kinda curious whether the mango, peach, or grape options would have also worked. Shawarma Paradise is a very good, albeit pricey option for steak shawarma and likely for other protein needs. Check them out if you get the craving, as I'm not confident that there are many if any better spots around.

I'm giving Hafez Persian Restaurant three stars because I believe in constructive feedback rather…read morethan simply bashing a business. They have many positive reviews, and I respect that other diners may have had different experiences. However, being very familiar with Persian cuisine and the traditional Persian dining experience, I believe customers should understand what they are receiving for the prices being charged. For lunch, I ordered à la carte: one skewer of ground beef koobideh and one skewer of ground chicken. My wife ordered the lamb shish kebab, which was approximately $34 and consisted of only about four relatively small pieces of lamb. The first thing that surprised us was the portion size. The kebabs were remarkably small compared with what we are accustomed to at established Persian restaurants such as Raffi's Place in Glendale, which has been serving the community for decades and is well known for both quality and generous portions. My larger concern is the overall value proposition. Too many things seemed to carry an additional charge. Bread is extra. Onions and vegetables are extra. Everything begins to feel à la carte, and by the time our relatively modest lunch for two was finished, we had spent approximately $70. There is nothing wrong with charging premium prices when the quality, portions, ingredients, and overall experience support those prices. We regularly dine at excellent Las Vegas restaurants, including Esther's Kitchen, where similar pricing provides substantially more food using excellent-quality ingredients. So this isn't about expecting inexpensive food or enormous portions. It's about receiving reasonable value for what you're paying. We also recently visited Raffi's Place in California and paid comparable prices while receiving dramatically larger portions and, in our opinion, a better overall product. That's why I don't believe this can simply be attributed to inflation or today's food costs. Persian hospitality has traditionally been associated with generosity. That doesn't mean restaurants should give food away or serve unnecessarily enormous portions, but guests shouldn't leave feeling that every small addition carries another charge or that the amount of food served doesn't correspond with the menu price. Another thing that caught my attention was how quiet the restaurant was during our Saturday afternoon visit. There was essentially only one other occupied table. In a city like Las Vegas, where successful restaurants can be extraordinarily busy, I believe that should encourage ownership to take a serious look at pricing, portion sizes, and the overall customer experience. My recommendation to ownership is straightforward: reconsider the portion sizes and the heavy à-la-carte approach. Focus less on incremental charges and more on providing a complete Persian dining experience that makes customers feel they received good value and want to return. I am giving Hafez three stars because I don't believe in tearing down a business, and there is certainly potential here. But based on our personal experience, the value simply wasn't there. I sincerely hope ownership takes this feedback in the constructive spirit in which it is intended. A few meaningful adjustments to portions, pricing, and the overall concept could make a significant difference.

Wasn't going to post this but here it is, I arrived to pick up a large catering order on a busy Friday night. Seeing that they were busy I waited patiently until someone acknowledged me standing right in front of the register, but no one ever did that. Instead the lady that was at the register turned her back to me once she was done having a conversation with the table that was next to the register for at least 5 minutes and then the younger lady decided to help the person that came in after me and never acknowledged me still. So about 10 minutes after waiting I said excuse me I'm here for my order and asked if they did not see me, the younger lady starts hauling off at me about how busy they were and how she JUST bagged this order up but I literally watched her do it at least 7 minutes before that. And before I could get another word out she keeps going off at the mouth about how busy they are and how I could've just canceled the order if I didn't want to wait. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. But it's all good lol I asked a simple question. There was need for your employee to get that defensive. I understand it was busy, I also understand you acknowledge people when they are in your establishment no matter how "busy" you are. Almost 15 minutes of waiting and not being acknowledged once is CRAZY! Then these clowns have the audacity to give me a bad rating and say that I'm unprofessional. That's the first negative review I've ever received in my 7 years since RETIRING from the US Army and doing this as a literal service for the community. After looking at the way this owner talks to anyone that leaves a bad review I decided to share my experience as well! Edit: LOL THIS GUY IS HILARIOUS! Why would I interrupt your employee having a conversation with a customer instead of waiting for her to finish and then address me since I'm standing "like a statue" right in front of her?? But noooo LIKE I SAID SHE TURNED HER BACK TO ME. And the walked away. I have respect and patience so I was clearly waiting my turn. But it's when your employees start helping other WHITE people that came in after me and STILL acting like they don't see me when I have a problem. WHY THE HELL WOULD I LIE ABOUT RETIRING FROM THE AMRY DUDE? Look my name up idiot. Watch your mouth. You not untouchable. And yes I have PERMANENT FLAWLESS GOLD AND VVS DIAMONDS IN MY MOUTH , and I also own my house and my cars and have multiple properties around the United States. Instead of getting mad about every negative review u need to train your employees to talk to everyone the same and not just the PINK PEOPLE. I guess you think all Rideshare drivers are BROKE like your employees?? GOOFY.
