    *** Pay with cash and receive a 5% discount *** The Shawarma Factory is a small hole-in-a-wall restaurant that was ranked #14 on the Yelp's Top 100 Places to Eat for 2017. [Parking]: Street parking only, but shouldn't be too difficult finding an available spot to park in this part of the neighborhood. [Atmosphere]: This is not the most glamorous restaurant as the restaurant only has 5 indoor tables. I came here 15 minutes before the closing time to place a takeout order. [Menu]: A very simple one-page menu with plates, bowls & salads, and wraps. Chicken shawarma is the most popular protein option and chicken kabob is the next most popular option. *** Chicken Shawarma Plate ($15.99): Flavorful chicken shawarma and rice (s-tier), lovely warm pita (a-tier), and garlic sauce + spicy sauce + salad were a-okay (b-tier). Very generous portion with enough for two separate meals. *** Overall a solid local Mediterranean spot with friendly service. If I do come back here again, then I probably would order a bowl / wrap instead a plate.

    The food is amazing, the restaurant is so clean and nice. The staff are very kind and welcoming.

    Combo Shawarma plate chicken kabob plate with Moroccan mint tea!

    First of let me start off with the service phenomenal. Very attentive and understanding. The food by far the best I've had. From the main course to the Moroccan mint tea. Amazing highly recommend it. Family owned place makes you feel comfortable and relaxed while you enjoy your meal. Definitely recommend already told a few of my family and friends.

    Great shawarma! The meat was flavorful, the veggies were fresh, and the sauces were perfect. Portions are generous and the service is fast and friendly. Definitely a spot worth trying!

    First time here... food was delicious I got the chicken kabobs with the rice ,salad,hummus so bomb..the service was good nice and friendly very attentive.. now just one thing you need to use the restroom before you get here because they don't have one but other than that everything was great.

    Chicken kabob plate 16 bucks can't go wrong

    While driving through due to work, I decided to stop by as I was searching for Mediterranean food. The chicken shawarma bowl was so good I went back and bought my wife one for later just so she can try it.

Limited parking available. +I was there for pick up so I didn't interact with the cashier too much but the girl was super nice and had such a nice smile, made everyone feel welcomed! +boyfriend and I ordered their regular chicken and spicy garlic lemon rotisserie and they were both FINGER LICKING GOOD omg. Both of chickens were so juicy and so flavorful we really can't pick one over the other. For sides we had white rice, spicy hummus and green salad a they were all great. The meal comes with fresh pita bread and their garlic sauce and you have to try them both with the meal. Seriously 10/10 would recommend. If you haven't tried it yet, then what are you waiting for!

The chicken is perfectly seasoned and moist, and the best part is that it's still healthy! You can definitely split this into 2 hearty meals. I like to order all dark meat and get the spicy hummus and maison rice (it has raisins inside!) as my sides. The garlic sauce is not overbearingly garlicky and is just so addicting! I've definitely had better pita bread, but it's acceptable. Spicy gyro sandwich: 5/5. Sooo good! Love that it's loaded with juicy gyros. This is definitely a massive sandwich that will make you super full. The gyros are slightly on the salty side, but the tzatziki balances it out well! All the workers here are very friendly and kind :) There's a pretty small parking lot in the front, but I've never had trouble finding parking because people come and go quickly. There's also a Mcdonald's parking lot right next door for back up!

    Pretty outstanding shawarma spot in an unassuming strip mall…read more We came in and looked obviously like it was our first time and so they sliced some chicken and beef shawarma to try. The beef shawarma was so tender and the flavors had so much complexity to it. The chicken didn't quite pack the same flavor punch but the chicken was tender and juicy and you could taste all the different seasonings. I ended up getting the chicken shawarma plate on rice and it did not disappoint. Already mentioned the chicken but the rice is also very flavorful. Has a rich almost buttery flavor. It complements the chicken well. The pita is thin and not the typical fluffy pita bread you might think of. I do wish there was a little more of it but that's a minor complaint. The garlic sauce packs a punch and the red sauce is a spicy and tangy flavor. The hummus is very light and maybe because everything else was so flavor forward, this was a little bland in comparison. The people were really nice and friendly and for less than $20 to get a really tasty meal plus a drink is rare. I will definitely come back.

This was also my husband's first time trying this place out and he got the Western sandwich. He also enjoyed it. It is a bit on the pricey side with a sandwich costing $13-$15, not including sides or a drink. There was only one person working at the time we went. She was very nice. We waited a little bit for our food; about 10-15 minutes. The restaurant was empty and very clean. They also were selling shirts at a cheap price. I think this is an underrated sandwich spot that I would stop at if I am in the area. It was pretty good in terms of taste and quality, and it is a good little spot to visit. Definitely recommend, but be advised of the price and sides needing to be ordered separately.
