Shwarmania advertises amazing discounts for lunch specials. $15 will get you a small plate, so I recommend getting a few. I sometimes just get a pack of pitas from the deli next door because there's 8 in a pack but cost the same as a single at shwarmania! But who's counting, lol! Had a long day at the office? Get ready to get off the train and have club music blasting in your ears. Nothing like dance music to sooth your soul. I don't think shwarmania was as excited as I was to see the "No flyer or menus" posted on my front door :/ Some how each floor of my building had stacks of menus strewn about on each floor! Maybe someone in my building works there! I will definitely be back every time I ride the train. read more

Loved the chicken shwarma on pita. $5 and it was a generous portion and full of pickled vegetables.It sent me back to Karam, in Bay Ridge - which imho is the best shwarma that I have encountered in NYC, but this place was close. I forgot to ask for hot sauce and it was still delicious. The ambiance - are you kidding - it's a fast food place there is no ambiance. The music - loud euro trashy - not my taste. Fortunately, the Shwarma was and I cannot wait to go back. If everything else is as good - 5 stars read more

Decent food. Bit pricey. Hubby enjoyed his lamb platter.

The chicken shawarma pitas at this place are amazing! They have a perfect way of layering all the ingredients so you always get bites of the crunchy lettuce and picked veggies. The pita is also huge and only $6! I'm always stuffed after one but rarely do I want to stop eating half way through. :-) They put a nice amount of white sauce, layered again, and although pita isn't homemade or anything, it's fresh/soft and thin so not too bread heavy. I get the hot sauce on the side and it is very tasty although I go easy on it as it is quite hot. The guys in here are also always friendly and the service is quick. You just can't go wrong with this pita! read more

Got the mixed shawarma plate. It was a tad salty for my taste - and I tend to enjoy a good seasoning. Had to quench myself with a liter of water after. read more

After walking by this restaurant everyday for the last year+, I finally built the courage to get dinner from there (mainly because I was starving and Subway's card machine is down). Yelpers claim about the service is pretty accurate. Thy are pretty darn good, to a point of being annoying. I ordered the chicken shawarma platter to go. Luckily, it was still warm when I got home. They give you three sauces (tzaziki, tahini and hot) off the bat which is awesome. The pita was fluffier than your typical. Overall the food was in abundance and it was pretty good. They were generous with the right amount of chicken. Or 10 or so dollars, I will definitely consider this place as a viable dinner option. +they're the first brick and mortar place that I've seen that accepts bitcoins. read more

"It's the best," that's what my son (who is a wannabe culinary critic) said to me after eating their chicken cheesesteak sandwich. You can't beat that type of review, right?! All of their food are pretty tasty. Service is always warm and super friendly. They're just really good dudes serving good food. While decor is nothing to write home about and tight the staff are accommodating so that's a plus. The location is fantastic too- steps away from Q/N Astoria Ditmars stop. Try the side of falafel balls- sweet balls of awesomeness! While I haven't eaten the French fries with chicken shawarma yet I intend to- looks so good. If it's your first time here, suggest getting the chicken shawarma salad (what I had the first time; good balance of healthy and yumminess). Overall, a top notch place with excellent food and great service. Highly recommended! read more

Do yourself a favor: get their Shawarma Fries. I'm a huge fan of loaded fries, and these do not disappoint. The manages (Mohammed?) is often seen on the sidewalk offering falafel samples. My girlfriend and I got some samples and decided the next day to try them out. He remembered us, surprisingly. He may be the nicest guy in the world. I'm happy to give them my money. read more

I work in the area and never tire of the falafel on pita here! I see many patrons go for their chicken dishes also, but I am addicted to their falafel and their fresh salad ingredients that burst with color and flavor. Their hummus and tahini sauces are delicious and I just wanted to give them props. Clean and great, fast service. 5 stars! read more

This is my go to Shawarma place and there are SO many in Astoria. This place has had a new owner for over a year now and I taste such a huge difference in the food compared to when I first tried it a few years ago. So delicious, so fresh, I order takeout from here like three times a week. The chicken shawarma wraps are my favorite thing to order. The rice pudding is refreshingly yummy and homemade! Definitely give this place a try- it's so good!!!!! read more

Great customer service and huge servings, beef shawarma was a bit too greasy though. There was only one guy working around lunch time but he was very fast and efficient. read more

Amazing chicken shawarma. High quality food. I couldn't recommend this place any more. Great atmosphere and very clean. Friendly management. read more

Shawarmania - Absolutely delicious! - Halal Near Me - Astoria, New York

Pros: Great food, Near public transit. Cons: Poor Delivery service, Inaccurate orders. Shawarmania is a great cusine to have, and it's even better that there's one in ditmars. The real problem is they screw up deliveries. The first time I waited over an hour and a half for the food only to find out they didn't get the order from grubhub. They apologized and I assumed it was a rare mistake, no problem. Second time around the same time and not only they show up late, they've forgotten one/two of my items. Do yourself a favor and do a pickup or eat there, If only their delivery service was as good as their food. read more

Best shawarma in the states!!!!! Ate the Shawarma with a delicious sauce along with the fries and the falafel what a yummy dish Keep it up read more

Great food. The menu was a bit hard to read, but the employees were helpful in their direction, and the meat was seasoned excellently. I will be sure to come back! read more

This place is incredible! My family and I sat down to eat, and we were provided with falafel, pita, and hummus for appetizers as we waited for our food. When the food arrived, it was delicious and plentiful. Seriously, it was so much food we ended up taking some of it home with us! I dunno why others on here are complaining about the pita; I loved it. Soft and delicious. The french fries are incredible as well; great seasoning! Staff was super duper friendly and accommodating; they made sure we were well taken care of. The restaurant itself is a bit small, but that's to be expected of a take-out place like this. However, it's clean, and very atmospheric (Egyptian music played, pictures of the Middle East everywhere; even the bathroom is decorated, haha). I will definitely be coming here again! read more

Hummus is an absolute rip off - 5$ for a "medium" size container that is tiny. It's also not that good compared to other places' hummus that I've tried. read more

The food was not cooked well here. I got food poisoning. I got the chicken bowl and was sick the entire next day! Do not recommend going here. read more

Okay I was happy with their service and their food. I ordered the philly cheese and chicken combo. I also had side order of baba ghanouj. The chicken was little too hard for me. Everything else was very delicious. I am very happy this time than Last few times. Right now I am having the half left over of my Philly cheese steak... mmm yum read more

Best shawarma in Astoria hands down, I tried all the famous and infamous shawarma places in Astoria and this place is the best, their shawarma is not greasy like other places. read more

Got delivery and was very disappointed in the quality of chicken and kofta. I love the same dishes form the nearby competitors, sorry that Shawarmania is not in the same league. read more

Shawarmania - Halal Near Me - Astoria, New York

I ordered the Lamb and Beef Shawarma Main Feast and it is a LOT of food. I could barely finish the whole plate! The meat was flavorful and moist and the salad and dolma were also very good and paired well with the meat. I have been to a few other Shawarma places and I would definitely rate this one above the others and it's also the closest one to my house. Next time I will try their Lunchbox Special because the Main Feast lives up to it's name and I could barely finish it! Shout out to the staff and owner, very friendly bunch of people and definitely part of the reason I'll be coming back. read more

In all honesty, I hope this place never leaves. In fact I hope they expand! I've had both the Chicken Shawarma as well as the Lamb & Beef. Sooooo gooood! The Falafel is fresh and made to order. Light and great for a snack or addition to your meal! This is a hidden gem that lets its food speak for itself. Try it out and you'll want to go again! Not to mention they have different flavor imported sodas which are light and refreshing to the pallet and compliment the food selections. At least for the food I've had so far. Cannot wait to go again! read more

Excellent falafel, chicken shwarma, chicken kebab, and lamb kebabs. Always very fast and fresh. It's worth noting that they have standard white sauce, which is great- but they also have a homemade tzatziki that is fantastic. The owner is also very friendly read more

Shawarmania - Chicken Kebab lunchbox - Halal Near Me - Astoria, New York

I had the chicken bowl, garlic fries, and falafel (shared between 2 people). Portions are huge. And for the amount of food you get, the quality is great. The French fries are bomb, the real kicker. Service was quick and friendly. Would definitely come back here again. read more

Tried to make an order for delivery and it was the most frustrating task ever. The guy on the phone barely spoke English and I'm used to speaking to people with broken English but the person on the phone would not understand. He starts dismissing my questions without answering them and orders things I'm not asking for. Get someone who speaks better English and is willing to answer questions because I've walked in and made an order and the food is amazing. Guy ended up telling me he didn't know if he could take my order because they were closing soon even though he was already taking my order in the first place and just didn't feel like being a normal employee, answering very simple questions and taking my order. Did not end up ordering. read more

I ordered through eat24, they were supposed deliver in 40 min, the food came after making bunch of calls- which was 2 hours later. We all were hungry. Had lunch at 4 pm. Food was cold, dry and on top of that, I paid for extra tzaziki sauce on side which they forgot to send me. I was able to finish the shawarma that I bought, but hubby hated the lamb and beef platter, it was super dry and went to garbage. Never ever ordering from here again. read more

Not a place to get falafel, period. Oh and the preparer will not ask you what you want in your order he will just assume you will take whatever he wants to give you. read more

Just want to warn people. I used to order all the time from this place. Last week I ordered chicken shawarma and had the WORST FOOD POISONING in my life. I thought, I would die (not exaggerating). All of my family had food poisoning but mine was the worst. It has been a week, and I still cannot recover. Be careful! read more

Love!! We had the chicken over rice and the wraps and this place was really good! The sauces were perfect, and everyone working here was so nice as well! I would definitely recommend this to everyone, my parents loved it too! read more

I've had the Lamb & Beef Shawarma Pita here 3 times since its opened...sooooooo good!!!!!! I went twice in the same weekend. The cashier recognized this and hooked me up with a free side of Falafel. Really nice. I'm probably going to be giving this place a lot of business. read more

I love this place, my go to place for when hunger strikes. The guys are friendly inside and the delivery is quick as well. Keep up the good cooking chaps. read more

Delicious Food Variety To Choose From Spacious Clean Friendly Service with a smile.... I'm Going Again For Dinner Tonight Happy Customer read more

Ordered the lamb shank platter. The lamb was cooked perfectly. It was tender and juicy and not dry. It melted in your mouth. The platter comes with rice, salad and bread. It is value for money. There was a mistake by the ordering website as prices had gone up. However the restaurant honored the website price without me having to say a word. That's integrity. I offered to pay the balance but they wouldn't accept. The food is delicious, the customer service is amazing and above all it is fresh food done right. Don't think one can ask for more.... read more

Keeps getting better and better! Very friendly and amazing food. Best falafel and rice in the neighborhood! If eating this food can make me as strong as the owner looks then I must keep coming back! I wonder how much he can bench? read more
