About Papa's Shawarma

Papa's Shawarma is a small, hidden gem serving great food with excellent service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and checks on customers regularly. The menu offers generous portions, with options like the Chicken Shwarma Combo and the Tray for 2, which comes with rice, stew, and lentil soup. The food is fresh, flavorful, and filled with spices, with tender meat and plenty of extras. Customers enjoy the variety of dishes, including the falafel wrap and lentil soup, which are described as very unique and delicious, with some noting a possible curry flavor. The restaurant's chicken Shawarma wrap and beef options are favorites, and the loaded chicken Shawarma fries are highly recommended. Despite occasional technical issues, the staff apologizes and makes up for it with kind smiles and extra goodies. Overall, Papa's Shawarma provides a 5-star experience at very reasonable prices, and many customers express a desire for the restaurant to stay open and continue serving their favorite dishes.

I loved this place I’m so sad to see it go… my boyfriend and I loved to skate the Clinton River trail from dodge park to downtown Utica just to get shawarma. I hope one day they can come back 😢❤️

Papa's Shawarma is where it's at. Wife gets the chicken Shawarma wrap, I get the beef. I mistakingly ordered the loaded chicken Shawarma fries and they are 🔥! Skip the franchise restaurants and give Papa's a try. More bang for the buck and delicious! I'd like to see them survive so please share the info. Support the small businesses! No I'm not affiliated in ANY way. I just really like their food and I'm local.

EVERYTHING WAS SO DELICIOUS! Saw a positive review on an “eat local” fb group, decided to try for the first time tonight… ordered the family tray for 2, a fattoush salad, a garlic sauce, hummus, and tabbouleh- it fed 6 generous adult portions with some leftovers! Everything was fresh, cooked perfectly, and presented beautifully! Thanks so much for a great dinner!!!
