“I'm on a fixed income, so "fast food" is only an occasional treat for me. I found out about Shawarma Spot through a friend, and it has become my favorite little take-out restaurant. Their portions are quite generous, and you have several options for sauces and toppings. I order the Beef Shawarma, and at $8, I get two delicious meals for the price of one! (Admittedly, as a Senior, I have a small appetite.) Staff is always friendly, and they even put my "sauce on the side", so it still tastes fresh for my leftovers. I've frequently seen work crews there ordering Shawarma's multiple chicken wing deals. Give them a try!“

“Delicious fresh food that's made with love. Family owned and operated.“

“I have been a loyal customer of Grape Leaves for many years. . First, the food is great and very healthy. It is also reasonably priced. The lunch specials don't cost much more than a fast food combination meal. The staff is courteous and friendly. I have never had a bad experience and would recommend Grape Leaves to anybody looking for healthy Mediterranean food on Northwestern Highway.“

“We don't have much middle eastern food where we live so when we visit our kids, we treat the whole house to a combo dinner from Kubba House. Always a treat!!

We try to get warm pita bread and garlic sauce at the bakery next door. Actually I think the tub of garlic sauce is cheaper at Kubba (at the counter) but definitely try to get the warm bakery pita bread at the store.“

“Very clean atmosphere, food delicious. The staff shows that they care about you, showing great respect for everyone that walks through the door.

Kid-friendliness: Booths and tables available

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to claim“

“Always a winner. The food is flavorful and well spiced. The staff are always friendly and accommodating.

Vegetarian options: The vegetable Stirfry is a hearty mea. It comes with a choice of rice, Vegetables or Delicious and succulent potato rounds. There are many other choices, including a falafel sandwich, hummus tabouli sandwich, and many more. There are a number of salad and soup choices as well.“

“Shish Kebab Express has become my go-to spot for lunch, whether I’m ordering just for myself or sharing with coworkers. I usually order from there once a week. Their Chicken Almond Rice Salad, Chicken Ghallaba Sandwich, and Oregano Chicken are my favorites—every bite is consistently delicious and full of flavor.

The portions are always generous, and the value for the price is unbeatable. One of the things I truly appreciate is that they deliver to local businesses in the area, which makes it so convenient during a busy workday. It’s such a relief to have a reliable option for fresh, high-quality Middle Eastern food without needing to step away from work.“

“Best chef special and server!“

“Been getting take out from here for 10+ years. Excellent quality meat 🥩 and other items. Unbelievable hummous which comes with fresh warm pita. Try their combo for two or their lamb chops. The combo for two actually feeds 3-4...lentil soup is fabulous!!! Fatoosh salad 🥗 is superb.“

They were excellent! I highly recommend Princess for your next catering order!! They have 5 locations if you want to eat there as well. Absolutely delicious!“

“I normally frequent the brownstone location. however in my work travels sometimes I stop by the 14 n Woodward location. today I got a bowl and had a few problems. 1 the lid wasn't on all the way so now got food all over my clothes and inside my vehicle. also the pieces of meat were big and not sliced up. How tf is someone supposed to eat that with a plastic fork ? it would of took 30 seconds to slice that up for a bowl, instead it was left whole. normally the food is great, but today was not good.“

“The food was incredible! Recommend this place ❤️😘“

“Me and my wife both had shawarma. it was awesome. pita bread and hummus very good too. house salad was even awesome. Thank you.“

“OmG I thought I knew something about Mediterranean food. I was wrong. They picked all my food for me cause I had never heard of any of it. An it was....AWESOME. They suggested a carry out container an I was confused because it loomed like I could finish it in one sitting, again I was wrong.“

“Nice place for vegan food. Thankful to have this here.

Update: after about 10 visits here I can say a few things real quick. I think the staff needs a lot more room behind the counter they dance around each other trying to provide the best and quickest service possible.

Also, the space needs some sound insulation, the staff has a really hard time hearing us. A few small modifications can make a huge quality of life difference for these hard workers who serve delicious healthy food.“

“This was my first time here. I loved the decor. The baskets as lighting was nice. It seemed like black wood pallets for the ceiling. Nice touch!! I was looking for food in the area while I waited for my appointment nearby. Listen, I made a damn good choice and whomever made my bowl! Babyyyyy!! They did not disappoint!! It was the larger bowl w/ chicken thighs, basmati rice, double garlic sauce, veggies, picked red onions, and salad w/ feta! It was so good I forgot to take a picture. The different flavors, textures, and temperatures worked nicely together: The chicken/rice (warm), the picked red onions (cool), the veggies were a bit tart but in a good way. The salad/dressing were cool. This bowl was so good on my palate! Plus, it was such a healthy choice! 10/10“

“A rarity: a local restaurant with great Armenian cuisine“

“Great good… friendly, helpful staff!“

“everything we had was super good. our waiter was spot on with everything and was super polite..“

“This is an excellent Mediterranean restaurant with fresh, flavorful food and great service. The complimentary bread basket with garlic dip is warm, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The lamb kebob and lamb chops are cooked to perfection, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The portion sizes are generous, making the meal well worth the price, and I even had leftovers to take home.
The staff is incredible friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall great experience. I highly recommend this place for both the quality of food and the excellent service!“

“Labeeb is best server ever! Restaurant is fabulous! Best food ever!“

“This is my favorite lunch spot. I almost always get the fattoush salad with chicken shawarma on it. The veggies are always fresh and I think their fattoush dressing is one of the best around! The chicken shawarma is on point too! The people who work there are always super friendly and quick too! For the price , quality and portion size I would definitely recommend to anyone who wants an amazing fattoush salad!“

“I love this place. The food is always good. The only problem I have, and it's a personal one, is the tiny vegetables cut up over the salad. Too much. Also I don't think we need the extra tomatoes and onions. Probably because I hate tomatoes.“

“Amazing food and experience. Highly recommend !“
