“This platters spot offers fresh and tasty food. I tried the mixed platter, and while the lamb was just decent (it tasted like it might be from a box), the chicken was wonderfully juicy and moist. Don't miss the crispy wings, especially with the delicious mango habanero sauce! Their menu has plenty of other options. It's a small place, so it's probably best for takeout.

plenty of parking“

“Top notch Halal 👌 With it's captivating unique flavors, Shwarma Bay stands out from the rest. This is not your typical Halal cart food. This has its own spices and flavor profile. You can taste the spices in the rice. The hot sauce is more of a creamy hot sauce unlike the red spicy 🔥 hot you tend to get from other halal carts. Chicken and beef well made and sauces on point. Shwarma Bay is in its own category“

You can really feel the passion behind the food. Highly recommended👍“

“Absolutely fantastic experience. Staff was amazing!
Particularly in light of rude and incredibly entitled patrons who, without asking, moved bar furniture around and then berated servers when they politely asked the patrons to move it back.
The staff was lovely, food was great, drinks and wine fantastic.
If you see rude reviews, know they are from entitled people who are the worst ♥️“

“We had the best Friday evening at Shalel. My best friend and I went and sat at the bar, and got the most wonderful service from the very cute bartender, Andrew Robert Faria. The food was delightful- everything was prepared with the most delicate seasonings! The service, ambiance and vibe of the whole place is cozy, sophisticated and a must try. Thank you Andrew and shoutout to his partner in crime Austin as well! Austin is only 1 day in and is crushing it on the job :).“

The food : the best food i ever had . It was so good every time i took a bite my legs felt weak! It was so good i had to lean back on the chair . It was soooo good i felt sleepy after eating. After this i am going in my truck and going to sleep. I definitely recommend this place. You will have a great peaceful time here and the food is something I cannot describe.“

“Shlomo's kindness and generosity is endless! Not only has he offered to participate in a PTO sponsored dine to donate today, but when our school staff ordered lunch to support, he refused payment and insisted the payment be donated to the PTO in full! He gets plenty of love and all is deserved! Thank you Shlomo and Gyro Grill for not only delicious food but for your continued acts of love in the Wayne community!“
