I don't believe the overall experience warrants more than two stars. I kept seeing these amazing photos posted by Shawarmatee on social media, so we decided to drive out to their food truck on Friday evening. The truck is parked in the Shell gas station on the corner of Babcock and Wurzbach. There's space for about 5 or 6 cars on the side of the food truck. The menu is prominently displayed, and the area around looks as clean as one would expect a gas station parking lot to be. The gentleman taking orders and packaging the food was polite enough. I'm not one for overly effusive or disingenuous customer service. As long as you're not a jerk and the food and price are right, I can tolerate a bland interaction. We asked for details about a couple of menu items, but he kind of nodded while never answering the questions. We ordered the mix shawarma plate, two Arabi wraps, and an order of falafel, as well as a can of Coke, bottles of water, and a mango drink. It took about 15 minutes for our order to be ready, and everything was hot and well-packaged. He even threw in some extra tahini and garlic sauces (or what he said was garlic and tahini sauce). My kids said the Arabi wraps were fine. They didn't think the sauce had any garlic flavor whatsoever, and the tahini tasted more of oil than anything else. My husband and I both agreed that the beef included on our mixed shawarma plates tasted off. There's a sweetness that develops as red meat begins to turn, and that's the unpleasant flavor we detected when we ate our plates. The chicken, as many other Yelpers have pointed out, was beyond dry. It lacked seasoning and was throat-scratchingly dry. The salad was uninspired and lazy, and the rice was adequate. The falafel was broken and burned in areas, but had an overall good flavor and almost fluffy texture. I had to agree with the kids that the garlic sauce tasted more like mayo. We didn't finish our food and ended up going to an Indian food truck down the street to fill our stomachs. I feel bad writing this because this is an elderly gentleman, but I also don't think the feedback on the chicken and the quality of food is being addressed. We want to go out and feel we're getting our money, gas, and time's worth, and Shawarmatee failed to deliver on that. Instead, it feels like a cash grab from unsuspecting diners. read more

Damn I'm so tired of wasting my money. The guy was really nice but the chicken was dry & I didn't appreciate him trying to charge me $14 when the menu says $11.99. I asked him how did it come up to 14.05 he claimed it was taxes. I soils love to know what part of the chicken this is bc he has no taste & the rice is dry. the previous reviews before must be fake. read more

Very quick pleasant service, good truck vibes but overall nice. The chicken shawarma wrap was just ok at best. A little underwhelming for $12. read more

Fantastic middle eastern spot thats nestled within a gas station thats not obvious (unless its night time with all the lights surrounding the truck). I got the beef shwarma wrap with red and white sauce. The portion was substantial without being too big or too small. The beef was moist and flavorful. The veggies were fresh. The red sauce was acidic and zesty without being spicy or hot. The white garlic sauce is like crack and I put it on every bite that I had. I only came here because my friend can only eat halal, but Im glad we settled upon this place. I wanted to try more items, but I had already gorged myself earlier that day. read more

I hate to do this, I rarely give this low of a rating, if ever ordered the gryo wrap.. it was cold and the tzatzki sauce was bland and tasted like plain yogurt Also got the hummus, no flavor whatsoever ever, like its missing tahini but it had tons of oil. the pita bread was stale the baklava was good but it was supposed to come with 4 pieces and it came with 1 small, not worth the price super bummed, we need more Greek food in san antonio read more

We tried this food truck for dinner. The guy at the window was very short with me when I was ordering. Almost like I was a nuisance by giving him my buisness. We got the chicken shawarma plate and mixed kebab plate. The chicken had great flavor but was very dry. The rice was tasty too. I didn't try the salad as it had cheese on it and I don't like cheese. I forgot to omit it when ordering. My husband didn't like the lamb kebab. He usually loves middle eastern, Turkish and Greek lamb kebabs. The lamb didn't taste good to him and didn't eat it. It was great to try but we won't be back unless we just get rice. read more

Horrible service, sub-par product. Ordered two items, they messed both up. And when they tried to give us the right order, they messed it up a second time and we tried to deal with it but the food wasn't good. They wouldn't even refund us. Such a disappointment. read more

Tasty, friendly service, great portion size, and quickly prepared. Will be back! The beef was moist and I enjoyed how the pita was grilled. read more

Showed up and was not helped. Waited several minutes and then decided to leave due to not getting helped.

Delicious, fresh and affordable! Great food, the chicken shawarma was very well flavored, unlike other places that have no seasoning. The rice and salad were amazing. Came with sauces and bread too. Highly recommend! read more

Shawarmatee - a wrapper wrapped in aluminum foil - Middle Eastern Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Great food, very nice owner. The fries were well seasoned, and everything was very fresh. Will be back!

I have ordered the chicken Shawarma sandwich probably about 20 times at this point. It's light refreshing and simple. Chicken as always juicy pickles have a nice crunch and the garlic sauce is great but the best part about the entire sandwiches Is the thin flaky bread it's wrapped in. If you like a kick, ask to add hot sauce in the Shawarma sandwich. Delicious. read more

Absolutely delicious, and tons of food! We got the beef schawarma plate and the lamb gyro! It did not disappoint! We will be back.

The food was so good, definitely my new spot for Lamb Gyros!! The owner is so nice, and he ensures all you food is fresh.

I'm always a bit leery of how fresh the food will be in a food truck that's parked at a gas station but I'm glad I took the risk. I ordered the mix schwarma plate with a side of hummus. Took about 10-12 minutes to prepare and my dinner was amazingly fresh and perfectly cooked. My taste buds are tingling from all the flavors in my meal right now! Highly recommend. read more

Tried the chicken schwarma sandwich today. I've tried so many different versions of this sandwich. Very simple version here, just bread, chicken, garlic sauce, and pickles. But great quality of each ingredients. Made for a great quick delicious light lunch in the middle of the day. Will definitely come back! read more

I have tried all shawarma spots in San Antonio but this is honestly hands down the best shawarma i have tried

Had food here with a friend from Egypt so while I think I know Middle Eastern food he surely does. The service was friendly but not disrespectful #NotAllArabMenAreCreeps! And the guy didn't even make fun of my Arabic even as he and my friend speak it perfectly. We ordered two different wraps as I don't like lamb; my friend said his was good. Mine was chicken and our cook hooked me up with a side of extra pickles. I've had other nearby food truck food in this same style and this truck is slightly better in flavor and portion and amount of sauce in your wrap, not to mention customer service here was again GREAT! Mashallah! My new truck to eat from when I am in that part of town. And P.S. not that you'd go for the fries but they were perfect - crisp outside and warm mush inside. Also, if you want to sit and eat he's got a picnic table outside whereas the other place? Gotta eat in your car. SHUKRAN to the truck cook and GO HERE to y'all potential customers! read more
