Excellent food from Shawarma Place! Very friendly staff. Really obvious that they care about their customers' experiences. One of our family's top choices for takeout in the area.

Smallest portion of food for the price. Big disappointment. Food did not taste great.

Owner was serving and he was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Food tastes great, though the hot sauce could be spicier.

The food here has never been better! The shawarma is incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor. You can taste the quality in every bite, from the tender meat to the crisp toppings and creamy sauces.

The new management has completely transformed the place, service is now friendly, efficient, and welcoming.

I’ve been avoiding going here for years (quality had felt short over time with old owners) however my girlfriend recommended this place to me the other night and it did not disappoint, my daughter and I both thoroughly enjoyed our shawarmas and we will definitely be back.
Friendly service, delicious food!

The new owners are fantastic. Prior to them, I had be here before a couple of times and it was terrible. I never returned until I kept hearing by word of mouth how great it is now – not just the food but the kindness and friendliness of the owners. This is my new go-to. Thanks for stepping above the rest!

We had an amazing experience getting takeout dinner for 40 people at Shawarma Place. The owners are so friendly, kind, helpful, and generous. Everything was delicious and the portions were very generous. Everyone commented on how tender the chicken was. Thank you so much for making our dinner an awesome experience.

A Neighborhood Gem: Shawarma Place.

Shawarma Place has become a true standout in our community since Jay, the new owner, took over. From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re greeted by Jay’s warm smile and friendly demeanor. His genuine kindness and inviting personality set the tone for an exceptional dining experience. It’s clear he takes pride in not just the food but also in creating a welcoming atmosphere for every customer.

The food here is consistently excellent, with the chicken shawarma plate being an absolute highlight. The perfectly seasoned chicken pairs beautifully with the creamy hummus, flavorful rice, and the star of the show—the garlic and spicy garlic sauces. Each bite is a perfect blend of flavors that keep you coming back for more. As someone who appreciates the details, I have to mention how fresh and well-balanced every component of the plate feels. It’s the kind of meal you crave on both busy weekdays and relaxed weekends.

In the six or seven visits I’ve made to Shawarma Place, I’ve almost always had an outstanding experience. There was only one instance where the chicken was overcooked and dry, and this happened to be when a temporary worker was serving that day. It was a minor hiccup in an otherwise consistent track record. Outside of that one instance, the food has been nothing short of stellar, and the interactions with the owner and staff have always been kind and uplifting. The employees Jay has hired seem to have been chosen as carefully as the ingredients in the food—humble, courteous, and dedicated to ensuring a pleasant experience.

It’s worth noting how much the place has improved since Jay took over from the previous owners. The transformation is noticeable, and it’s unfortunate that some lingering negative reviews from the old management still affect their reputation. Additionally, there are a surprising number of one-star reviews with no explanation, which feels suspicious and unfair to a business that has clearly turned things around. Jay’s dedication and integrity shine through, and it’s disheartening to see any unwarranted negativity cast on a place that works so hard to provide excellent food and service.

Looking ahead, I believe Shawarma Place has even greater potential to become a community favorite. Introducing weekly specials or daily deals could attract more customers and showcase their creativity with new flavors or combinations. With its prime location and consistent quality, this is a business that’s well-positioned to grow even further.

In conclusion, Shawarma Place has become a neighborhood gem thanks to Jay’s leadership, the quality of the food, and the inviting atmosphere. If you’re looking for a place that serves delicious meals with a personal touch, I highly recommend giving it a try. You won’t be disappointed!
