I've been trying to find a shawarma place for a while, and boy did I strike gold today. Beautiful small family type of spot. This place is AMAZING. The food is easily 5/5 stars; it was fresh and so flavorful. I placed my order through their website which made it easy to add/subtract ingredients from my food. There was no wait when I went to pick up, and the girl behind the counter was nice and asked if I needed utensils when she gave me my food, which was ready to go when I got there! Lets talk about the food though... I ordered a Chicken Souvlaki Sandwich and a Shish Chicken Shawarma Sandwich. That Shish Chicken is INCREDIBLE, just order it, seriously, it's that good. If you're not a big fan of spices, I'm sure the regular Chicken Shawarma is just as good! However, the Chicken Souvlaki was also flavorful and juicy, not dry like other places I've been to. I will definitely be back soon!!! read more

Amazing fresh food and the family that owns are so kind and wonderful . Food is excellent..,

I had a really nice experience today at Shish Grill.. the food was really good especially the appetizers. We had the fried trout and the combo shish kabob. The food was tasty and the meat was tender and juicy. We will definitely come back for more! read more

This review is long overdue! My family loves Mediterranean cuisine and this restaurant has delicious Mediterranean/Lebanese food. It's always made fresh and I love all the flavors. The service here is consistently fast and friendly. The prices are very reasonable. My sons both love the Lavash Wrap; a mixture of ground beef and lamb, spread on pita bread then topped with onions, parsley and their special garlic sauce. What sets this apart from all other wraps is that it's finished on the grill. The pita is crispy on the outside and filled with flavor! The garlic sauce is creamy, garlicky, slightly peppery and very addictive. Plates here are served with rice pilaf and a choice of salad or soup. The soup is a great lentil soup that tastes healthy and not too thick. $13.99 I love the Chicken kebab Salad. The salad is fresh, crisp romaine lettuce with tomatoes, cucumber and red onions. It's topped with a generous serving of tender seasoned chicken breast. I love my big a** salads and this is no exception. I weighed my chicken today because I'm neurotic like that and there was a full 9 oz of chicken!!! Tip-ask for the dressing on the side. Great salad and just $9.99!! read more

I'm so happy to have found not only an authentic Arabic restaurant, but they also have a mini market next door that is filled with Mediterranean ingredients that can be hard to find elsewhere. I've tried the lentil soup, tabbouleh salad, and the falafel wrap that comes with a side of fries. I was impressed with how delicious everything tasted. I was excited to see that they have daily specials, such as maqluba, which is a Jordanian dish that I grew up eating. I'll definitely be returning to try it! read more

We really enjoyed our dinner at Shish Grill. It's a very casual order at the counter place. The employees are extremely friendly and courteous. Our order was to go and they packed up all the food nicely in order to make sure items don't spill. We ordered the hummus, lentil soup, beef shawarma sandwich, and chicken kabobs. The food was fresh and very tasty. The only thing I had a problem with was the pita bread sandwich. It gets soggy quickly and the fillings kept falling out. This is probably an item that should be eaten immediately or as close to ordering as possible. It was still delicious though. I just won't eat this around anyone I would be embarrassed being messy in front of, haha. My hands and face were dripping in sauce even though I tried to eat neatly!! The garlic sauce is addicting so I didn't mind! The fries seemed to be beer battered fries and I loved them. They were perfectly cooked and golden brown. Everyone loved the crispiness of the fries! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The chicken kabobs were extremely moist. Chicken breast seems to be a challenge for so many places, but Shish Grill knows what they're doing. The only feedback we had was some of the veggies with the kabobs could have been cooked longer. They were bell peppers were very crunchy and pretty much raw. I would ask for them to be cooked longer next time. The hummus with the pita bread was addicting. This is definitely the best hummus I have ever tasted. Try the hummus! We will definitely be back. read more

To the owners: Don't change ANYTHING!! You guys are doing everything RIGHT!! Finally, a delicious, healthy, consistent Mediterranean restaurant!! read more

Food is good but the portions are quite small. Service is quick and it's a pretty chill atmosphere.

#10 Spicy Beef/Lamb Shawarma 7/10 Was craving beef & lamb, the lady suggested the spicy version. It was prepared a couple minutes. Came with turmeric rice, a tasty salad with thousand island dressing and protein. The salad alone was very good, looked like it had sumac and olive oil, no dressing needed! The lamb/beef was also good, I should have asked for yogurt on the side. Would come try other options. read more

Fantastic Lebanese restaurant. The specials rotate daily, and we loved the ones we've tried. Every time we come here, we always order ashtaliyeh, but we also like the other desserts like kenafeh. read more

I can't say enough about how positive my experience was. Thank you to the wonderful woman behind the register and in the kitchen. I shared that I had never been to the restaurant and didn't know much about Lebanese food. She recommended their spicy chicken as one of their best entrees and told me she'd make a special plate for me so I would be sure to come back. It was one of the best meals I've had in a long long time and the flavors were incredible. I 100% recommend the spicy chicken, as the spice level was just right and the flavors were awesome. read more

We've lived in the area for a year now and it dawned on us that we hadn't had Lebanese food since arriving. A quick search of Yelp found Shish Grill not too far from our home. We were very happy with the selection of the menu and that vegan items are labeled clearly as such. The fatoush salad was great, although could use a touch more citrus for my liking. I will ask for a bit more on my next visit. The falafel wrap was good with usual toppings. For a real treat, ask for the house hot sauce. It really lights the wrap up if you like things spicy. It seems odd to wirte this for a Lebanese place, but their french fries were great. I don't know if it is the same for all orders, but both orders of fries at our table were fresh fried so they were hot and crispy. Not something I go out of my way to look for, but it was a nice surprise. For the non-fry loving people, note that you can substitute the default fries for a salad or hummus. Lastly, the same family just opened a Lebanese grocry next to the restaurant. If you like what you had there, go next door and you can buy a lot of the sauces, dips, bread, etc. read more

I've lived in San Ramon for more than four years and have never tried this place because their prices are insanely high. I tried it for the first time today. I should have trusted my gut... $20 for a sandwich when said sandwich is soggy, tastes only like tomatoes and onions and took exactly 26 minutes for me to get. You see from my photos they aren't packed. There were 2 people already eating inside and 2 others waiting for orders. I should've just went to the lot. At least if I wait long there I know the quality will be good. Cashier was nice and apologetic though. So 1 are for that. read more

Excellent food loved the tabula and yogurt. Service was very good. We love going there as well as take out.

AMAZING food, feels like it's family ru and you've just come home. One of San Ramon's best kept secrets

i got takeouts twice from Shish Grill. My boys really like Spicy chicken ( one of their popular dishes). Once i got vegetarian plate for myself with falafel, dolma, hummus and babbaganush. Hummus and BabbaGanush were ok, but i did not like falafels at all, plus i think i got lk only 2 falafels and 2 dolmas. so, the bottom line is i will comeback for spicy chicken dish, but not for veg. plate. Service was excellent though: people behind the counter always very polite and attentive, beside food comes out fast. read more

The food was amazing and I felt like I was back home in Lebanon! Definitely will be returning - the service was also incredible! read more

Absolutely delicious! I've been here many times and the food is always amazing. Definitely order the hummus, it's magical. I also love the spicy chicken, which isn't too spicy. I normally can't eat spicy food, but I love this dish. Everything is served with yellow rice and a yummy yogurt dip. They have a great outdoor seating area with umbrellas and lots of shade trees. This place is also right next to the iron horse trail, so it's the perfect lunch stop on your walk or bike ride. read more

No flavor. Skewers were dry and tasteless. No ambience. Not clean either. So many better places in the area. Skip.

Today we were looking for something new to try in San Ramon for lunch. We saw Shish Grill and wandered in. The service was excellent, all were very friendly and helpful, with a welcoming ambiance. The food was delicious, great quality, and ample portions! We ordered Shish Combo Plate and Hummus Shewarma; both came with choice of salad or lentil soup and we had the soup which we really enjoyed. This will be our new Mediterranean go-to place and look forward to returning. It will be hard to not repeat these dishes because they were so good, but we definitely look forward to trying their other menu items. read more

The food was amazing! Luckily came on a Friday to get the Friday special- lamb shank. Ordered the lamb shank, tabouli salad, and the spicy chicken. Spicy chicken was recommended by a server and it did not disappoint. The flavor was amazing, and not too spicy. The tabouli salad was also wonderful, the flavors were so fresh and delicious, one of my favorite dishes ever. The lamb came right off the bone with just using a fork or even fingers, with great spices as well. The rice that the lamb was bedded on was also very flavorful. Service was awesome, they brought our food out to our table. Ate outside, where they have tons of seating! Definitely recommend this spot next time your around here! read more

Tasty authentic food and friendly staff. Loved the hot potato dish, the soup, baba-ghanoug and their home made garlic sauce is the best.

The food was awesome and it's hard to find great Lebanese food in the Bay Area! It is also connected to a market. The restaurant is run by wonderful people who found and held onto my lost wallet for me. read more

Being middle easter I must say it's kind of hard finding a place that I like when it comes to Lebanese food because the best is usually mom made lol, but this place is great! They have daily specials that vary that are just like homemade! I love their falafels and their sambusik are phenomenal, the garlic sauce that comes with them is to die for. They even offer catering which is delicious as well! My favorite part is that I now have a middle eastern grocery store near by. They carry produce and all the staples you need to make your favorite Lebanese food. Highly recommend trying for a home cooked Lebanese feel crave read more

Shish Grill - Chicken Shawarma - Mediterranean Near Me - San Ramon, California

Food is decent. However, since this seems to be the only game in town, their prices are absurdly high. ~$25 for entree would compare with actual full service restaurants. I also paid $12 for lentil soup which is probably the steepest I have seen anywhere. This is a self service place so no point in discussing service and ambiance As a point of reference, Dish Dash a full service place in Sunnyvale is priced at about the same point but far better on every metric. read more
