I ordered from the catering menu, ordered mixed grill and shawarma; both had a reasonable quantity, and the food was made fresh and delicious.All the food was prepared within an hour.I highly recommend this place for catering and also for individual meals.I also usually get a shawarma combo for lunch, which is good.Give it a try. Don't just take my word for it. ?Vegetarian options: Falafel sandwich or plate

I was craving a Gyro wrap, so I ordered for takeout. I paid $10 and got a really skinny wrap of ordinary Gyro meat and some weird pickles. There was also a sweet sauce. Quite unpleasant and not worth $10. It was a real rip off. I won’t be going back.

I ordered a gyros wrap. it cost $10 and was skinny. There was hardly any meat in it and it had weird pickles. Not at all what I was expecting and certainly not worth the money. I will never go back.

The food was amazing??, the best I had in a couple years. I got the whole grilled chicken with rice and Chicken shawarma wrap. The chicken had a nice smokey flavor which I loved!. The rice was super flavorful and aromatic The only regret I had was that it only came with two garlic sauce and on top of that they were like less than half filled which was a big disappointment to me.*Portion size*I was totally worth the money and surprisingly decent portions.Overall I had an amazing food experience, and I will definitely come back again!

Marvelous food tastes like someone's grandmother lovingly has prepared a meal for her very own family. When we asked, friendly staff patiently explained various dishes. Very clean and simple setting.

Food here is really amazing. I drive one hour 30 minutes every month just to get whole grilled chicken. Very friendly staff.

Although I've never dined-in here, I've ordered takeout many times. One of my favorite entrees is the lamb chop dinner ($19.99). It's four pieces of marinated lamb chops that are grilled over wood charcoal. If you're extra hungry, you can add an extra lamb chop for $5. I generally prefer my lamb chops cooked medium rare, but they come fully cooked. I'm not ever asked my preference with how well I'd like the lamb chops cooked. But since I've been enjoying the fully cooked version of this charred deliciousness, I choose to leave it as is. It comes with rice (I think it's basmanti). The rice is flavorful, yet not overpowering. The meal comes with two sauces (tahina and hot), a small salad (basically chop pieces of lettuce), and half a pita. I personally think an entree deserves a full pita. Since I don't really care for the lettuce salad, I substitute it for either an extra pita or extra rice. These options are super convenient to make even when ordering online. My other favorite dish is baba ghanouj ($6.99). It's a tasty appetizer made with grilled eggplant pureed with tahina, olive oil & lemon juice. It's served with quartered pieces of pita to scoop it up with. So yummy! This is my first time reviewing Shwarma Express, but I've ordered takeout from here many times. They also have a nice little dinning area with several tables. This restaurant looks clean and well kept. There's always free parking in the strip mall. I always have great customer service and my order is always ready when they say it will be...sometimes sooner. It's been a long time since I've had their kabobs and chicken dishes, so I'll wait to try those again before giving you my review. Definitely stop in and give them a try. And take a look at my photos. I try to add photos that aren't already available, so now you're able to see what the lamb chop dinner looks like before you order it.
