The fries were crispy. The chicken had a nice char. The pickles were a good compliment. I'm not sure what the sauce was but that was good too. read more

Shawarmaji - Chicken shawarma fries - Middle Eastern Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Tried this place based on a recommendation and so glad I did! Got the chicken shawarma wrap and had them add hot sauce inside. I felt it could have been spicier but can always ask for more on the side. They also have a pomegranate molasses sauce that I had on the side. It was sweet and tangy and I would have them put it inside next time. I wasn't sure about it so I had it on the side just in case. I also tried a few falafel balls. Super fresh and made to order as they were piping hot! Good seasoning and would definitely recommend having a few on the side or even trying the falafel wrap. I'll probably try the falafel wrap on my next trip! Don't forget the garlic sauce! read more

Came here on a weekday evening after a long run with my friends! All the workers are super friendly ( I assume they're college students). We each ordered a chicken shawarma and some of us ordered the fries as well! I could have done with the mini (I don't eat as much) but the whole regular I saved half for lunch the next day! When they call your number, they ask if you want chili, chipotle garlic sauce, or the regular garlic sauce. I really like their chipotle sauce its really flavorful! The chicken is well seasoned and its really flavorful! I also really like their soda i think its called free7? I prefer the peach and mango over the lychee! They also have free get your own water! read more

The photos posted with the shawarma skewer and other photos are fake, from a different store because when I went to the store it looked more like an office. I ordered falafel sandwich and I got this little stick which is almost nothing but Pita bread that is thin cheap pathetic type from a grocery store bag and dry like newspaper. These damn cheater business owners, when they actually lie to get customers, you know they're doing a whole lot of other cheating. When someone calls himself Shawarmaji, he should be seen cooking shawarma being made in front of the customers. I never order a shawarma if I can't see it and figure how fresh it's and what it's made from. Other reviews have commented about the bad chicken Shawarma and posted photos that it doesn't look from skewer, it's cut up grilled fake Shawarma. Never again, go to Dish Dash read more

Used to love this place, takeout shawarmas were consistently fresh, good quality ingredients etc. Last couple times the takeout food has been miserable. Chicken seems to be stale/reheated/chewy from its odd dark color (not vibrant), and has been more cartilage-y than before. Ew. One or more of the small garlic pastes, on the side, turned out to have a slightly rancid smell. I thought we caught this place on a bad night once, but won't return since subsequent takeout experiences were the same. So bummed. read more

Chicken arabi style (cut up wrap) $17 9/10 super good and plentiful. Falafel wrap too many veggies for my liking 4/10 weird ass vegetables Parking sucks though read more

Excellent beef and chicken shawarmas. It is made in front of you. Also, they make excellent falafel. I highly recommend it.

Service from the short Caucasian girl was awesome. The female manager or owner was a weirdo. I just paid $30 for a lamb/beef shawarma I asked for tobbouleh inside and instead they charged me for an entire salad of tobbouleh. They refunded me for the salad and I just ate the shawarma w/o tobbouleh inside. I think if I pay $30 for a shawarma (with tip). I should get it the way I want but this manager lady just rolled her eyes and went back to barking commands at the staff in the kitchen. I'm not from the area . Just wanted a shawarma my way. Oh yeah and btw in San Francisco at truly Mediterranean on 16th street u can get 2 shawarmas the way u want them with tip included. Guess they just wanna up charge student at Santa Clara university which is all bad . Shawarma was decent . The one star is for the wonderful Caucasian girl who helped me with a smile . The other missing 4 stars is for the manager whose eyeballs got lost in her forehead. read more

Loved their Chicken Shawarma. Shawarma was served hot with bread still crispy on the outside. It was very reasonably stuffed & had a balanced taste. Unique & not the same as desi shawarmas (which is good). Very decent & reasonable for its price. We didn't have it with Cheddar cheese on the inside but it might be something I explore next time. Service was fast too! read more

Great shawarmas!! And the fries were so yummy and crispy. The toum was 10/10 And they include a lottt of it with the meal which is perfect! Overall yummy place and the art on the walls is vey nice. read more

Halal meat is served here. Owners are known Muslims. This is the 2nd location of the popular Oakland based Shawarma spot. Jordanian style shawarma which has some of the best Toum (garlic sauce) in the Bay Area! Irfan's Tip: Try the "Arabi-style" chicken shawarma which is cut up into smaller pieces which makes it easier to eat and also dip into the toum. The Chicken Shawarma Fries are great as well! read more

Resturant is nice, food is okay not what I expected but it's okay.. I ordered a chicken shawarmaji came out super huge but low amounts of fatty meats, the seasoning is ehh can't really taste the sale but add the garlic sauce they have. Other than that it's ok read more

Visited twice in 1 week. I liked that these are perfectly sized shwarma for me. Not too big. Not too small. I like the chicken seasoning a lot. read more

Great food. Their toum is the best! Come here really just for the toum. So flavorful.

Ordered a chicken and a lamb wrap for lunch. Though they are big, I don't think the 2 items were worth the $36.56 (total including tax) and yet that's all you get; no small side of tabbouli or fries or even drink included. Surprisingly, the chicken ($15.50) was more moist and flavorful than the more expensive, thinly sliced lamb ($18). The lamb was kinda dry and a little salty. However, the meats were really loaded into both rather lengthy wraps and the accompanying sauces were delicious. Used to come here long ago when it was called 'Wrap This' and their quality was pretty tender and juicy. Felt we would've gotten more value from a visit to Nick The Greek, which isn't the same, but bears some ingredient similarities. Will prob try a shawarma next time, just to see if the flavor/quality is different than my lunch wrap experience. read more

1) Food - Perhaps the best authentic shawarmas in Bay Area. Growing up in Middle East, this is the closest shawarma in authenticity. Portion size is great but I'll recommend if you have a smaller appetite, go for the half shawarma option. Falafels are fresh and awesome as well. Tip: Make sure to get fries "in" the shawarma and get extra toum sauce to make it more saucy. You won't regret it 2) Service - Pretty good service, the wait isn't that long and the food arrives fast. 3) Ambiance - The restaurant is clean and modern. There is ample sitting space 4) Location - This is a new location, their original one is in Oakland which is far for south bay residents. This is as good as the Oakland one! read more

This place has authentic Shawerma and it is the closest to the shawerma in Jordan that you can find in the area if you get the back home style. Their chicken back home style is delicious, plentiful and flavorful. Their garlic sauce and their hot sauce (shatta) are great. The owner is friendly and welcoming and so is the staff. There are other things on the menu I have yet to try, but will definitely try next time, including their beef shawarma and falafel sandwich. Definitely recommend this place if you are craving shawerma in the south bay. They also have a location in Oakland, but I have not been to it. read more

Best Shawarma spot in this area! Their wraps, shawarma fries, tahini salad, and falafels are to die for! So glad to have this amazing option in our area. If you haven't tried it, you have to! Such a great upgrade compared to the previous wrap restaurant in this location. read more

The menu is quite limited with only a few items at this time We tried a wrap with chicken and another with falafel. The chicken was well seasoned and tasty but nothing special. The falafel wrap had some tasty veggie ingredients but the falafel itself was incredibly bland and I think somewhat undercooked as well. read more

Horrible service and very rude staff. Got the falafel wrap and it was the worst falafel I've ever had. Absolutely disgusting. DO NOT RECOMMEND! read more

This place just offers a really authentic feel once you step in, you just know the food about to be cultured AF with a hint of modernness. Im telling you this though the falafel and the wraps and the sauces bussin AF. I got nothing bad to say, I'm a cook, hands down they put the feeling of eating a damn shawarma off a food cart in the middle east right here at Bay. read more

This review is based on an order I placed using their website. They have recently changed to add an automatic 25% tip to all orders, even if it's a pickup. This is a scam. If you are not paying attention, it's easy to miss this. It happened to me recently. I don't understand why there should be an automatic tip for a pickup. Tips were usually reserved for good service. And in my case, when I picked up the meal, I noticed that one of the items was missing. So then I had to drive back to the restaurant and get the missing item. So not only did I pay a 25% tip, but I also didn't get a good service. I hope they fix their website ordering. If the customer likes the service when picking up the order, they can tip the staff. I am wondering even if these online tips go to the wait staff in the restaurant read more

Food was ok, ambiance sucked. The chicken wrap was good, the falafel was very good, the tabouli salad not so good (they need to drain it better and it was really salty). The toum, which people rave about, was really bitter and grainy. It's clear they spared every expense in fixing up the place before opening, it just felt like a tired old space and they have only been open a month. And it was loud AF in there and only half the tables were occupied, glad I got takeaway. read more

This is one of my favorite shawarma spots. The chicken shawarma wrap is AMAZING the meat is very flavorful and there is the perfect amount of pickled veggies sauces and fries, The shawarma fries are also amazing it takes everything I loved from the wrap but on crispy fresh fries (the lamb is better on the fries). The lamb shawarma wrap is also very good with the perfect ratios but in a wrap the chicken is better.The falafel sandwich is surprisingly fantastic I was expecting there to be too much of the tahini salad but it was balanced with the falafel and the bread. If you come here make sure to get all the sauces the regular toum is the best I've had in the United States it's not too strong but is still garlicky enough. The chipotle toum is an upgraded version of the already spectacular toum. But the shatta is the BEST it's perfectly spicy without being over powering to whatever you are putting on. The side of pickles is pretty good but unless you LOVE pickled veggies like me I would pass on them. The service is usually pretty good they are helpful and fast. All in all it's REALLY GOOD. read more

We picked up some takeout on a Friday night and it was excellent. There was a 30-minute wait for food, but it was well worth the wait. The chicken shawarma is very flavorful and juicy and the toum is outstanding. We did pay extra for some modifications to the wrap that weren't honored, but we got an extra falafel so we came out on top. Would absolutely recommend to others and I would go back again. read more

Their shawarma takes me back to Dubai. Glad that they opened in Santa Clara, saves the hike to Oakland. Love how consistent they are! read more

An authentic chicken shawarma, not some chicken thrown on a grill. I didn't mind waiting for my order, I was worried they won't cook it correctly but the chicken was perfectly crispy from the outside I'll be a regular customer, waiting to try the lamb, hopefully it won't be gyro read more

Happened to come across this place on yelp and so glad we did! Service was good and quick and easy to order. Hubby and I both ordered the chicken wrap with a side of fries. Chicken was seasoned well and veggies were tasty! The garlic spread was delicious and seasoned fries were great! Perfect to share between 2. We also enjoyed the artwork on the walls would love to see them continue to add to it. Will def come back again! read more

Solid shawarma, very close to lebanese style shawarma. A little heavy on the cumin I think. Portions are good but still pricey for a family. Still... Best shawarma in the area. Will definitely be back. Fast food kind of atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful. read more

As someone who grew up in Amman I was looking forward to trying this and was so delighted with my food today. I tried the chicken, beef/lamb and falafel (to try it all) and was super impressed by the flavors which were perfect and the staff were friendly and courteous. I also loved the chipotle toum dip! My only feedback would be shaving the shawarma meat thinner (the pieces we got were more like chunks). Nonetheless it was delicious and hit the spot. read more
