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.

Menu main

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.

Chicken plate

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!

Falafel

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.

Aww she gave me a sample because it's my first time here and it tastes fantastic!!

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.

Shawarma Arabi

Best shawarma I ever had in the US, I traveled all over the US and nothing compare to it. Authentic shawarma just like the ones I used to eat back home. Will be back for sure and will write another review for shir

Shawarma and falafel platter

Cousin invited us to try out this place, amazing food best shawarma I've had. You can either sit inside or outside while you enjoy your meal. The food portion are really big so don't order multiple things cause won't be able to finish it

Amazing food. This is the only place that serves Shawerma Arabie ( ) and it's crazy delicious. Highly recommend and a must try if you are looking for authentic Shawerma or Falafel. They also do catering and party platters.

Mira M.

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.

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

Team lunch at Fast Eddy's was fantastic! Greeted us and sat down fast because it got really busy…read moreafter we arrived. The staff were friendly, attentive, busy and active. Atmosphere was great, people enjoying their food, great service and enjoyable meals. My Director ordered the Chips/Hummus, Falafel and the Booreg Eggrolls for the table. I ordered the Sheikh Mashi with Fattoush salad. Chips/Hummus - crispy, mild and smooth hummus Falafel - great taste with tahini Booreg Eggrolls - crispy with beef, parsley, onions and spices Fattoush - fresh, crispy with a nice tangy dressing Sheikh Mashi - lightly browned cucumber stuffed with seasoned beef, onions, tomatoes and parsley with spices and great with white rice Really enjoyed it and will return for lunch again! Very interested in ordering other menu items.

My husband and I went to a special 6 Course meal event hosted by Fast Eddy's and Jacksonville…read moreRestaurant Reviews and we had such a great time exploring some of Fast Eddy's food. We started with Hummus and Tata Chips, which was crispy pita chips with a standard (but delicious) hummus. The Tata chips had great flavor, like Stacy's Pita Chips but better! The firat course was White Bean Fahsulia, which was a rich and hearty bean stew that packed huge flavor! Second course was Falafel with Tahini Sauce. These were a nice little bite between dishes. The center of the falafel was light, fluffy, and flavorful! Course 3 was Masaka-Ah served with Timan Asfur Rice. While this dish was good, it was my least favorite of the evening. I ate half of the stew and passed the rest off to my husband, who loved it! Course 4 brought us Dolma's served with Roasted Vegetables. I LOVE stuffed grape leaves and these were seriously on point! Tart and tangy up front followed by a whole lot of savory. Course 5, my favorite, was the Spicy Curry Chicken served with White Rice. This was the dish that made me fall in love with Fast Eddy's food and had me coming back for more. I took a couple bites and got a to-go container to enjoy this later at home. Finally, we reached the end of our dinner and Course 6, dessert, came out. Freshly made, sweet and decadent, traditional baklava. Filo dough, crushed walnuts, butter, and honey. This just melted away once it hit my mouth. I don't eat a whole lot of sweets but this had me closing my eyes and enjoying every bite. Every time I've visited Fast Eddy's the staff has been amazing, friendly, and hospitable. And of course, the place being completely decked out with rock and metal music memorabilia, i feel right at home here. Oh, and there's never a time where I leave that place without an order of the Pasta Anatoli to-go!

While I was standing there looking at the menu, a customer came up to grab her food. She seemed really approachable, so I decided to ask what she ordered. She told me she got the chicken shawarma wrap and recommended it, but also suggested getting the chicken shawarma platter if I wanted something a little more filling. Well, I took her advice and went with the platter, and I'm so glad I did! Shoutout to that lovely lady because she definitely steered me in the right direction lol. The chicken was cooked nicely, the rice was delicious, and even that little cucumber salad tucked away in the corner of my plate was good! I love when even the smallest sides taste good. One thing to know is that you do have to pay extra for sauces, but I will say they weren't stingy with it! They put a generous amount right on top of my plate, which I definitely appreciated because I love a good sauce with my food. I also ordered the mixed pies because I wanted to try a little bit of everything and figure out which ones I liked best. The spinach pie wasn't really my favorite, but that's just personal preference. Now the cheese pie? THAT was delicious! I really enjoyed that one and would absolutely order it again. Overall, this was such a good little find! I walked in not knowing what to order and walked out with a full stomach and a new spot I'd happily visit again. Sometimes all you need is a good recommendation from a complete stranger lol.

I walked over to the food truck, which was the longest part of my experience with them. The nice man at the counter informed me that I could order on the new digital screens, but asked what I was getting so he could start my order. Incredibly great service! I put in my order and paid right from the menu boards! For the best part is, I put in my phone number and received a text when my food was ready, so I didn't have to listen around for my name. A few minutes later, my food is ready and I'm on my way! It was still piping hot when I sat down to eat five minutes later. Fries were crispy, sauce was tangy and the shawarma was balanced. 15/10!! Overall, make sure you check the out, you won't be disappointed! And if you are disappointed by their food...it might just be you...

After a short wait, my food was delivered, and I noticed a small container of red sauce included with the meal. I wasn't sure what it was at first, so I tried it with my fries. I originally thought it was curry, but it had more of a thin, runny consistency with a spicy kick. It worked okay with the fries, but I chose not to put it on the gyro. Unfortunately, the fries were the biggest disappointment. They were extremely salty and mostly made up of the small broken pieces you usually find at the bottom of the bag. The gyro itself was good, especially after adding some white sauce my friend received with her order. We ordered the exact same meal, so I was surprised that she received three sauces while I only received one. Overall, my first experience with 904 Saffron was lacking. Between the overly salty fries and the inconsistency with the orders, I expected a little more for a meal that cost over $15.e

It's family owned and operated and has been since 1974, although the shop has had a few facelifts. Immediately when you walk in, you'll see photos of the family and their culture, making it feel super intimate. We got the buffet, and everything was very yummy! They switch out the menu items weekly I believe and I would love to try another buffet with other items too. I really enjoyed the grape leave wrapped items and the salad bar. They also had a delicious tea. We explored the grocery store after and they have so many cool snacks, food, and even dish ware. We will absolutely be back! Thanks so much for the generous hospitality!

We had to make a trip back cause we live so close now and everything is super tasty, just as I remembered. The staff is very kind and inviting. I ordered the salad for my daughter and she ended up changing her mind and wanting the Greek salad because she loves tomatoes. The lady behind the counter was so sweet and went the extra mile to pick out the tomatoes to give her a little extra. I love that consideration because those little touches are hard to find these days. I told her she didn't have to I didn't want to shirt the next person. She replied it's ok she has littles ones at home too and she understood! The older lady was just as sweet.
