I used to come here at least once a week when I worked nearby, and now I no longer live in Dallas. When I was back in town, and on this side of town, I made it my mission to go, because I just love the food so much! The food has always been consistently good, and is always made to order. I always go with a chicken shawarma wrap, but this time chose to go with the plate, as they had it on lunch special. I don't recall ever getting the rice before, so I was really glad to try it. It was light and fluffy and seasoned just right. The chicken was so warm and had all the yummy earthy flavors that I loved, which went great with the bread and hummus! I love the fries, because although they are simple, they've always been hot and fresh out the fryer!!! Seasoned just right as well. This is a small little locally owned restaurant, I've never seen a ton of people inside at once, but I always see a ton of folks coming in for takeout orders. Anytime I'm nearby, I will always stop by here! read more

Phenomenal service! The side salads are huge. Good flavors. I am used to a better presentation in terms of the food at other shawarma locations so I was a bit disappointed on the presentation here. But the flavors were still great. It was quiet in the restaurant at the time we went on a Sunday as it looks like most of the orders were to go. The to go line was non stop read more

We have been to shawarma world twice and it doesn't disappoint. The hummus is *chefs kiss* my hubby and I share the shawarma wrap, fries and hummus and it's perfect! Their portions are huge! It has a good amount of seating and the people that work there are friendly! read more

Amazing customer service, it was our very first time trying a shawarma and it did not disappoint. before receiving our order they made us our own sample portion of our order to make sure we would like it. He also gave us a rundown of the menu to make sure we were aware of what we where ordering. Would recommend to anyone especially if it's your first time ordering this genre of food! Food 10/10 Customer service 10/10 Overall experience 100/100 read more

We had a late lunch at Shawarma World and found the space is larger than expected. We ordered lunch specials, including chicken and beef shawarma. While we're not sure if they're authentic, they were definitely to our taste, and the kids loved them. As for the Lebanese salad, it wasn't to my taste, but that might be because I'm not Lebanese. My wife mentioned, "If you don't know which salad is good, always order Caesar salad and you won't feel disappointed." Overall, it was a good experience. Worth a visit if you are nearby. read more

*Eat here!!* My friend and I ate here on 2/21 while visiting from out of town, and it was amazing! We were greeted on arrival, and the workers explained the menu thoroughly to us and recommending options. I got the chicken shawarma with the labneh with garlic appetizer. The portion sizes are large, and we left full with leftovers!! I cannot recommend this place more if you are looking to try shawarma for the first time or wanting a good spot for it!! read more

Wow, if I lived in Dallas this would be the goto for shawarma. Delicious and a fabulous portion of food that am struggling to finish. I ate in and the restaurant was clean and orderly. The fountain drinks provided extra refills and I ordered a meal with a Lebanese salad expecting a little bowl and it's a whole plate. There is no way you can walk away from a combo plate feeling hungry. Monday thru Friday from 11-3pm you can get any plate for 11.99. This place is a fantastic deal for lunch and dinner. read more

This is a great place to get some awesome Mediterranean food. (My current food pics don't do this place justice.) My husband got the beef shawarma, & I got a lamb gyro. Both were made fresh to order. It's a fast, casual restaurant, so feel free to come & dine it or order take out. Also, I think it's pretty cool they have an option to order online. Nonetheless, we will be visiting this place frequently from now on read more

First, stacking meat on a vertical rotating skewer doesn't make it shawarma. This is the driest meat I ever ate in my life. Shawarma needs to be juicy fatty and full of spices flavor. This was not it and I am being gentle. Service was horrible, some people should not work in the service industry it just not for them... I recommend it NOT!! read more

Shawarma World - Dry food - Mediterranean Near Me - Irving, Texas

Used to be my favorite place to get shawarma in the area. But it has really gone down hill. Everything I liked about the food has gotten worse. Shawarma is dry. Fries are inedible. Hot sauce is just tobasaco. Garlic sauce doesn't have any garlic flavor. read more

I was so disappointed in this place, I had high expectations. Sadly it did not deliver. Meat is dry and missing that unique shawarma flavor, French fries are uninteresting and hummus is eh. The beef shawarma was ok at best, nice flavor but still dry. I could barley chew the chicken. Pita is paper thin and I wouldn't consider a pita at all. Staff is also not very friendly but the did offer me a complimentary plate when they noticed I was not happy with my dish. Sadly, it was also dry. But I'm giving them 2 stars for that effort. read more

Suspicious but Delicious. The shawarma flavor was okay but dry, humus was passable but watery, garlic sauce wasn't overpowering which was enjoyed and the fries were the star of the show. There were hair particles (two to be exact which is not okay) found but forgiven. The service was friendly and quick. The bathrooms may have black mold. Overall, it was a midweek meal we ate but mostly likely will not be returning for seconds. 2.5 Stars to be Exact! read more

Went in Sunday Sept 21st, got a chicken plate and it was amazing. Everything was on point. 10/10. Decided to back Monday Sept 22nd around 2:30. I don't know what happened. Food tasted really bad. I got the lunch special and the rice was dry, chicken was dry and hard. Beef shawarma tasted really bad and it was dry and had no sauce in it. I don't know what happened within a day. I honestly believe they were not serving fresh food when I went. read more

Very cool and happy place if you want to try out rice,shawarma and some rich flavors. A bit high in price though but the service is very fast and staff is amicable and friendly! a good choice for halal food and an evening meal. The place has an cafe ambiance and is family friendly. read more

Yum yum yum! First time here and I will absolutely be back. Because we had never been, we tried a little of everything and 4 of the 5 items were perfect! We tried both the chicken and beef shawarma-each was delicious! Gobbled down the chicken before I snapped a picture. The chicken and pickles were really flavorful, and the beef, pickles, and tomato was just as good-with tahini mixed in. I'd order both again in a heartbeat. The crispy bread it comes wrapped in was toasted just right. He got the fried fish, and while I hate food with a face, the small piece of fish I had was well seasoned and light-despite being fried. We also went for the falafel bowl, which, was my favorite falafel Ive come across and I try it everywhere. Great flavor and hot and crispy. The accompanying rice and salad were also tasty. The only thing that was a major disappointment was the feta and olive appetizer. I was expecting like a small brick of feta drizzled with oil and topped with gourmet olives. This was NOT that. Sliced tomato, cucumber, canned sliced black olives and a sprinkle of feta. Had I known, I'd never spent money on it but I did mix the leftover salad with this feta combo and made the best of it! read more

The food is tasty and craveable, but takes FOREVER to come out!! Plus, they will serve others that have ordered after you before you. I wouldn't advise coming here on your lunch break. You will be late over some shawarma chicken My food JUST came out after 35 min. read more

Quick stop here after arriving to DFW. My friend and I were starving so we thought of eating some delicious tasty kebabs. We both ordered the platter which is a win. There's really not much I would need to add other than GO CHECK THESE GUYS OUT!!! read more

I really love the chicken shawarma! Always quick, good customer service and fresh food :)

I've lived in the area long enough to see the restaurant name change multiple times (multiple owners), but this one got it right! Shawarma World finally took over this bit of the strip of restaurants on MacArthur Blvd and they're doing shawarma well. My latest experience involved ordering a chicken shawarma plate and a beef shawarma sandwich. Chicken shawarma plate - Comes with shaved, flavorful chicken, rice, pita bread, pickles, peppers and garlic sauce. The meat was very well cooked, not dry and roasted on that skewer long enough to gain that light crisp that makes it all worthwhile. I did feel that the rice was overdone, which was my only criticism of the meal. The beef shawarma sandwich was good, had a healthy helping of meat to veggies ratio; I love shawarma places that include pickles in their sandwich (heads up if you don't). I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Shawarma World - Mediterranean Near Me - Irving, Texas

Quick, affordable, and tasty! Ordered from here multiple times and it is one of the best Shawarma places in the metro. Recommend the lamb gyro, chicken shawarma wrap, and falafel. Their falafel deserves extra recognition - some of the best I've ever had! You get six, well sized, perfectly seasoned falafel balls with a nice crisp exterior PLUS a side of fresh tomato slices, banana peppers, and pickles. Be careful ordering via the Yelp app though because one time I ordered falafel and received a falafel WRAP! I tend to call my orders in via phone now... subtracted one star for this, but don't let that discourage you. Solid four stars! read more

Shawarma World - 7. Falafel - Mediterranean Near Me - Irving, Texas

It was first time trying this place, overall food and quality was okay. Although it was first day of the mask restriction removal but everyone was still wearing masks, which is good. We ordered Hummus in appetizers, which was too sour and the falafel sandwich was too hard. We bought falafel rice bowl, it comes with basmati rice but rice were bland and didn't have much flavor. It might be a great place for meat lovers but for me it's an okay place. read more

Shawarma World - 4. Falafel Sandwich Combo - Mediterranean Near Me - Irving, Texas

Delicious food. I come here for takeout during work sometimes and order the Shwarma wrap. It's a lot of food for cheap.

I don't go to Irving often but happened to be there so I took advantage of all the ethnic food options. I grew up in Dubai so shawarmas were an everyday thing. Maybe not everyday, but several days a week. I never expect to find a shawarma that's incredible on this side of the world, but I was impressed. It was a little bigger than I expected, which isn't really anything to complain about. More for later :) The garlic was the showstopper for me, as it always is. They smother it with garlic and I paid $.50 cents for extra because it's necessary. I also ordered a Greek salad and fries. The fries were okay but the salad was great. I'll definitely come back if I'm in the area. A little slice of Dubai located in Irving, Texas. What a treat! read more

Omg I stopped in here and thought I'd try this place out. Wow was it great! I had their Pompano fish which was spicy and excellent - very tasty! No breading yay. I've never had that type of fish and I'm pleasantly surprised! The hummus is great too. Also had a Greek salad which was gigantic for the price, the rice is aromatic and the baked bread very light and fresh. I highly Recommend this place. Such a nice smiling cashier and even the owner has a huge smile! Could we call it the Mediterranean version of "Pleasantville'? read more

Shawarma World - Beef and Chicken Shawarma - Mediterranean Near Me - Irving, Texas

Came to this place because of the other good reviews and it wasn't one of the plain chain restaurants along this area. The amount of styrofoam and single-use plastics they waste serving meals here is disgusting! Not to mention the food was very mediocre. Dry chicken schawarma with little flavor on it own. Blah bread. The Greek salad was the only decent part, which seem fresh, but very simple. Can't recommend and won't be back. read more

It's Shawarma World not Shawarma Town or Shawarma City. That should tell you a little about what to expect. It's excellent shawarma. The hummus and the tabouli were all very fresh and tasty. Even the long-grain rice is accented with a nice spice profile. read more

Absolutely awful service. The food was okay and reasonable price but the service is garbage.

Food was great and quality was good. Service was poor. The person taking the order seemed like he would have preferred we not come in. I ordered the combo with fries and a drink. It was only after ordering that I was told the fountain machine was out of order. It took him telling us two times b/c he was not clear the first time he said it. If I had known that I would have gone w/water or something b/c the only thing offered was a can drink. read more

Drove all the way from frisco to buy shawarma on a Sunday. When i came to order they said they don't have any shawarma chicken or beef. But i could see the full skewers roasting of both chicken and beef. Not going to return. Update: The owner of the business sent me a message in Facebook for posting the review and called me mentally ill. So if you ever write an honest review that mentions anything negative he will personally contact you and address you in a disrespectful manner. read more

Great Shawarma place, love their beef and chicken ones. Loads of meat, great flavor, excellent value. My favorite spot in las colinas

Just came here to get Shawarma as this is the second time I've been to this place and once we walked in we told the lady we wanted Shawarma ... we LITERALLY saw it in front of us and she said there was no beef or chicken .... said it rudely and in an unfriendly manner. This place has horrible staff and would not recommend at all. Previous reviews form different people had said the same... Doesn't look clean inside and rude service save the trip and go to a different Shawarma place. UPDATE After I posted my honest review I got insulted by the business owner. Unprofessional and can not handle an honest review. Very disgusting to receive this kind of message from a business. This just goes to prove they behave the exact same in person to customers. read more

Quantity of food on the plate is great - very filling ! The babaganoush was pretty tasty but the chicken shawarma meat could be charred more and have a little more flavor.

I am moved to the DFW from Chicago... And since I moved I have missed Gyros more than anything... now, I will say I think it's weird to put lettuce on a gyro (should just be tomato, onion & a pickle), but the meat and portion size at this place is SO GOOD!! I'd recommend getting the plate so you can build your gyro without veggies and enjoy the side of yummy rice too. The pita is very good (idk if they make it or buy it), but the tzaziki and garlic sauces are both extra yum! I'm so glad I found this gem. read more
