No longer a shawarma place.

Very upset I wasted time to drive 35 mins to find out this restaurant was shut down and replaced by some Mexican restaurant. Absolutely ridiculous.

Sham shawarma is no longer open. Hispanic restaurant in its place.

Terrible to-go order. Chicken shawarma was clearly made with a pre-made watery salad of wet lettuce and tomato. No pickles! Would never order again.

Food was very but overall not bad, big shwarma, fries and soda for 13$, just one man working and 4-5 costumers waiting in line, the waiter who was preparing food was not

Food and service was great. The restaurant smelled a little funny and the card reader was broken though.

Shawarma comes wrapped in tortilla. I don't know who the target audience is for that but that's not how it goes.If you order pancakes and get wheatbread cut into circles, you would be unhappy. Even if they are called pancakes and covered in syrup they aren't pancakes.No.(The owner responded that customers have a choice between pita and tortilla. Why in the world would I ask go to a shawarma spot and ask for mine in flour tortilla? Tacos al Pastor don’t even use flour tortillas. Nonsense 8 Nov. 2023)

If you want to grab a quick delicious doner sandwich this is the place to go. The service was very good and the food was prepared very well. The bathrooms were exceptionally clean and everyone was very hospitable. Will definetly come back again.

Just had Sham Shawarma's chicken shawarma and hummus via UberEats. The shawarma itself was tasty, huge, and the veggies packed into it were great. The fries were good enough. The hummus was bland and mediocre.Overall, Sham Shawarma is decent and fulfills any shawarma craving, and I'm happy they are here. However, the shawarma is absolutely not worth $10--size notwithstanding; fries are an extra $3, even though their website and UberEats entry make it seem that fries are included with the $10. I'll need to try it in-person though.

The food is great there is an older woman who seasons most of the meat and it is great, this is a comfortable place with an upstairs where you can enjoy your meal, the place is never crowded and the service is

I hate to place a bad review for small business but this was abysmal. The staff was very kind and courteous. However the food. . . Ahhh the food. We got the chicken bowl and well how best to describe this. It's like if you went over to your buddy's apt who only has a bottle of ketchup and hot sauce in his fridge and you said cook me a shwarma and gave him a shredded copy of the recipe. Then you hope and pray. While the food is edible, this is easily the worst schwama place in the city. This place needs to close down immediately.

Did not use gloves to prepare food after touching other non food surfaces. Workers seemed unfamiliar with making food it took almost half an hour to make two shawarmas.
