This place should have way more reviews than it actually has. It could be because the name on the actual restaurant is different than what it is on yelp, but nonetheless, this place has quality in every bite. The inside is cute nicely decorated. I recently sat outside on the patio with my friends and it's usually the same few people that work the restaurant and they are always so nice. I wish I knew better Arabic so that I could actually feel at home. My friends and I ordered a mixed grill family size. Altogether it came out to $174 and when I tell you, it was enough food for a battalion. We all 38 till we rolled around and still had two carry out boxes each for lunch the next day. The meat is grilled to perfection. It tastes delicious and it is not dry whatsoever. The rice is seasoned exactly the right way and just makes you feel like you are at home. read more

First time coming here expecting a great beef shawarma but unfortunately was as good as I expected; I will come back though to try some other things in the menu. The restaurant looks pretty nice inside and the service is ok nothing out of the extraordinary; I feel they could do a better job in that sense. read more

Ordered the mix grills. They ran out of (beef) meat tikka skewer, so it came with double portion of (beef) kebab skewer and one (chicken) shish tawook skewer. TBH the chicken was better of the two (had a wonderful grilled aroma). Was able to swap out the salad for the koobeh (ground meat in a fried bulgar wheat), which was pretty tasty. Finally, the rice was seasoned just right and went well with the bread and proteins. read more

Ok so the food tastes kind of good, not the best. The service SUCKED we had been waiting for our food for around 1-1/2 hours I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE read more

Great food, great service. The staff is genuinely nice and the location is choice. I definitely recommend this place

I ran into this place just because I was driving around that plaza. It looked cool so I decided to give it a try. OMG I am so happy I did. Everything was absolutely amazing. My husband and I ordered the Chicken Shawarma plate and the Beef Shawarma wrap. First of all, they are huge! The Shawarma was perfection. Crispy on the outside and warm, juicy and filled with flavor. The Chicken platter was super flavorful and has great sides too. I am so glad we found our new go-to spot for this cuisine. Service was great and the place is definitely one where you can go relax and have fun. Go try it! read more

I loved the chicken swarma it tasted so good and the chicken had an amazing sweet sauce on it that brought it together. It is a hookah lounge I went during lunch and it was empty. I would order Togo next time or come for dinner. The lunch order took about 20 mins to make but it was worth it. read more

Shawarma was wonderful. Restaurant was empty but everyone working was very nice. Wish they served lunch.

The food was good, though I specifically asked for a side salad and was told it was included, which there was no salad. Further I waited 40 minutes to receive my order. We ordered a platter because we're gluten free, which we also specifically mentioned and still had our protein wrapped in pita. Whereas the food was good the service was abysmal and ultimately I didn't receive what I specifically asked for. read more

Y'all... Tonight I switched it up and got beef shawarma instead of chicken. And extra toum and pickles, my new go to. I rarely eat red meat... yet my serotonin levels were still doing their thing. The sorcery...they marinate their beef in the same (if not similar) spices as their chicken. I still prefer the chicken because I'm not big on red meat but I'm down for getting it again for sure. read more

BEST SHWARMA EVER!!! Caps intended! Real vertical split and taste is spot on. Chicken or beef, you can't go wrong.

Tried this place based on ratings. They have great food and a buffet on Thursday nights! You can try a variety of food from the menu. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

The flavors were amazing, we had the beef wrap and falafel , and had a free side of the chicken. The wait time was a bit long, but worth the wait. Only negative I would say is the restroom conditions... Would definitely return for the amazing food read more

Chicken shawarma arabi was great! The star of the plate was the TOUM omg it was soo good! The bread was well toasted and overall i enjoyed my meal and will be back ! read more

It was good experience and good generous food. But they put extra pomegranate molasses, which I recommend to be on the side. The other thing they could make the shawarma better if make it thinner and more roasted. read more

Best shawarma! You can choose between a plate or wrap, with beef (sometimes) or chicken. No menu needed.. all orders are served with veggies and taum, falafel and fries. Everything here is authentic and delicious! read more

Sandwich was good but the place is not as clean as you'd think so, also this isn't a food truck it's a hookah place

The king is here from Syria. It is true this is the real deal. Best Shwarma I ever had better than in Saudi. One bite and I knew these guys had it amazing. Was given Syrian tea while I waited. I got the beef lamb shwarma platter. It was $14 and worth every cent. I will be coming here often amd bring everyone I know. Hidden gem. Thank you. Salam read more

Amazing chicken shawarma ! Had a smoky taste to the chicken. Would def come back when I'm craving some shawarma. The ambiance was a bit confusing, multiple tables smoking cigarettes inside the establishment. I know they serve hookah but the smell was a bit intense. I sat outside and would likely do that again when I eat here! read more

Was not a fan of the food I had. Tried the lamb. It was well done and a little tough. Only had salad as the sides, it was very flavorful. The people that work there are super nice and friendly. read more

Beef shawarma saj bread platter and wrap is delicious and filling. Best shawarma thus far.

One of the Best Shawarma wraps in Jax. I only wish they were open for lunch time. Delicious chicken and beef/lamb. Usually the chicken is the only one available (red meat on weekends). Love the pressed warm wraps and the extra veggies on the side. Great falafel too! Give yourself time in case its a bit crowded. read more

Not authentic nice atmosphere and that's it, the beef shawarma was tough and no taste garlic sauce was sweet

Amazing food some of the best shawarma I have had. The chicken shawarma was very moist and had enough pickles. The beef shawarma was also very delicious read more

Best shawarma in the US (not kidding). Hussam (the business owner) is a very welcoming person. He would give you some food in a small plate to try if you have to wait for long time. Very generous. He has shawarma chicken and beef as well as falafel. You could order the wrap/sandwich or a platter. Very affordable. He also has taboleh and hummus ( very authentic and Syrian to the bone) He does not speak very well English but you can use the people around to translate if you have something sophisticated to say. Try and you won't regret read more

He has good shawarma. But the way he speaks to people is so rude, and the price are so high and few time he messed up my order I will never go there anymore. read more

Look here, I don't know what some people are looking for in their shawarma, but I gotta day this place reminds me of what you get when you are in the Middle East. First off, the dude is friendly as a Disney cast member and very happy to have people eating his food. Next is the fact that their falafel is perfectly cooked throughout: crispy yet soft and full of flavor. I got the chicken shawarma to play it safe and boy oh boy I wasn't disappointed. Do yourself a favor, step outside of your comfort zone, and go eat here. They take card and cash and area friendly bunch. read more

Stopped here at 9pm on a Tuesday night because the hubs said he heard this place was good. I arrived to find 6 other people waiting under the covered space with heaters going and tables to sit. Nice! The man in the truck greeted me and my cousin right away and answered my questions from the other end of my phone line. Tonight was Chicken Shawarma but they have Beef on select nights. He decided to go with a falafel sandwich with hummus inside, extra tomato and turnips. Oh, and a yogurt drink that was down in a drink basin with cans of Pepsi as well. The man handed us a small plate with Chicken Shawarma, garlic sauce and two falafel to try out while we waited. Also, nice! We were pretty full ourselves but we tried it anyways. I have to say, I liked the sauce he added over the Shawarma when you get a bit of the garlic sauce mixed it. The sauce is a bit tangy and the garlic seems to mellow it out. Falafel is always good when it's warm and crispy. In no time, my sandwich was wrapped and ready to go. The sandwich and drink together were just $8. I toted them back to my husband who barely let me snap a pic before the sandwich disappeared and the yogurt drink was empty. So I am gonna say it was a good because that was the verdict after he was finished. However, I did notice the yogurt drink was out of date. My husband said it tasted fine and didn't seem to be bothered by it at all. I will be sure to make a point of checking it next time because dairy and I aren't super buddies, but we aren't enemies either. Next time, I will partake in some food because my cousin says she has also heard that this place is pretty legit. (We just left our night out with the Yelp Crew, so you know we weren't hungry.) read more

Great shawarma probably the best in jax. I actually prefer the chicken over the beef shawarma.

I cannot stop thinking about this place ever since I first tried them a few weeks ago. Here I am, 6 something in the morning, thinking about it again (no I'm not pregnant). Damascus Kitchen is so freaking good and everyone should go. It is a food truck on Beach blvd by Grove Park. They serve the best damn shawarma I have ever had. I always get the falafel wrap and the husband always gets the chicken shawarma. Both are INSANELY GOOD! Last time we were there they told us we had to get the beef, that it was their favorite and gave us a free sample (pictured). It was also really good but still prefer the chicken. Prices are great, 5.99 for a lot of food. We normally go late at night (open until 1AM) so haven't had to wait for long but have been told be prepared to wait, still totally worth it. Wish I would have gotten more pictures but I am always so excited when I get my food that it disappears quickly. Long story short.... don't walk but RUN here and get you some delicious shawarma! read more

I go here after the gym at least once a week and it is some of the tastiest beef and chicken shawarma I have ever had. Every order comes with a side of veggies to dip in garlic yogurt sauce which is fresh and delicious and every now and then they will throw in a few pieces of falafel. There is even a table with hot tea to drink and a hookah if it strikes your fancy. Definitely highly recommend read more
