“This is a little jewel in Rio Rancho! The food was authentic and FRESH! From the appetizers (spanakopita) to the chicken schwarma, lamb and beef schwarma combo, lentil soup and vegetable schwarma sandwich.
Happily filling! Oh and the baklava just melted in our mouths!
What a lovely meal!
Would definitely come again should I come through this way!“

“I had an amazing experience at Shawarma Express! The food was absolutely delicious — I ordered the chicken shawarma salad, and it was packed with flavor. The chicken was perfectly grilled, tender, and well-seasoned. The garlic sauce was rich and creamy, and added the perfect finishing touch to the meal.
Portion size was generous, and everything tasted fresh and homemade. The presentation was neat and clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. You can really taste the love in every bite.

Highly recommend this place for anyone craving quality Mediterranean food at a great price. I’ll definitely be coming back for more! 🍽️🔥💯“

“AMAZING FOOD. I had never tried Persian/Kurdish food before. The flavors were amazing, the meat cook perfectly, the rice was magnificent, crisp Kurdish bread, and my favorite was their Kurdish lentil soup. I can't get over how wonderful an experience it was.“
