Every time I eat here the quality is different sometimes it's pretty good sometimes it's wack. The seating is cool but the wait kinda sucks, if you come during peak hours or ramadan expect to wait very very long so id rather not. was quoted 1 hour wait during Friday afternoon on a regular day.

Honestly, the hijabi girl was incredibly kind, the food was beyond delicious, and the staff were all very respectful.🤍

I was honestly excited at first — the line was massive, which usually feels like a good sign. But once we got our food, my opinion changed pretty quickly.
To be fair, the ketchup was actually good. Unfortunately, that was the highlight. The fries were extremely greasy, and the shawarma seemed like it had basically gone swimming in oil. The filling — chicken, pickled cucumbers, and garlic — was very basic and didn’t stand out at all. The presentation didn’t help either; nothing about it looked appetizing or exciting.
Overall, I didn’t enjoy it. My honest, objective rating for Al SHAMI SHAWARMA is 1 out of 5.

My friends and I went specifically for the crispy shawarma. The lady at the front told us they don’t serve it, which wasn’t true. This place is viral on TikTok for their crispy shawarma, so I didn’t appreciate the dishonesty. At this point, it feels like you have to record while ordering just to get what you came for. The food was still good, but don’t advertise something you won’t offer to your customers.

I used to love the food here but this place needs to optimize their workflow. 1 hour wait to get a shawerma is unacceptable.
There is no coordination between the staff and alot of time wasted in figuring out the orders (still getting my order wrong or under cooked). I'm seing orders being canceled left and right. You must take action or you'll lose your business.

Bulk of your business is from the shawerma. You need to add another grill and increase the size of the burner. Remove the juice and sweet stands no one cares about them. Designate dedicated staff to specific tasks. Stop food delivery apps or phone calls when you're overwhelmed by in-store customers.

Customers wait time goal should be 25 minutes max. If you need investors to optimize your place let us know. People will support you to be successful and stop punishing us with bad service.

There is really need of enhancement on order management. Shawarma shouldnt take longer than half an hour to ready shawarma. Other restaurants ready their shawarma in 15 mins regardless they are busy or not.
