I've had it three times, and unfortunately the way they season the meat isn't for me, it comes across very what I believe to be cinnamon heavy which I don't think compliments the other flavours of the shawarma

I ordered a bowl with mixed chicken and beef plus vegetables, and it was delicious! The taste was fresh and flavorful. This was my first time visiting Shelby’s, and I really liked it. I’ll definitely come back again!

I recently started going here and LOVE the food. I have Celiac Disease, so I can't have any Gluten and the majority of their food is gluten-free which is great. My go-to is the SHAWARMA TIKKA MASALA and of course, I can't have the bread because of my allergy which sucks. However, the one female worker that I always see gives me extra chicken to make up for it at no extra charge which is amazing. I will definitely keep coming back.
