Signature Chicken Aboodi
Michelle H.

Farooj Abo Alabed is a Middle Eastern fast food restaurant so think chicken shawarmas, buckets of chicken, and more. The inside was aesthetically designed and really displays the beauty of the culture. There were several tables inside so decent amount of seating . As for the service, the food came out a bit later than expected for a fast food restaurant, but I also recognize that the chicken is being grilled/roasted in real time. I got the Signature Chicken Aboodi. It is a cup filled with tender, marinated chicken and seasoned fries topped with their garlic and pink sauce. It was super delicious! The sauces really made the meal for me. I also tried a bit of the Signature Chicken Abo Alabed All-Star, which is basically a chicken shawarma wrap. My boyfriend really liked it and it is one of the better chicken shawarma wraps that I have tried, although I think the pickles were a bit overpowering for me. The wrap, which was also crispy on the outside, tasted best when it was slathered in the pink or garlic sauces. I would come back to try the other chicken meals! I think it is a solid place for some quick Middle Eastern food.

The yummiest grilled chicken, kabobs, seafood broil but making it chicken style the lemon and spicy song so good, the service and people amazing. Halal too 10/10!

Food was tasty but not big enough for the price. No regular water was available. Meals are almost $6-$7 more than a sandwich.

I learned an important lesson today: sometimes you should trust your first lunch instinct…read more A coworker suggested Greek, and my mind immediately went to Adriatic Grill. Instead, we decided to try somewhere new and headed to Pita Corner in Lawrenceville. I ordered the beef shawarma with falafel. Let's start with the positives. The restaurant was clean, the dining area was well kept, and the restroom was spotless. It looked like it had just been cleaned, which I always appreciate. Now for the food. The beef shawarma had decent flavor, but it was so dry that every bite felt like a workout. The meat clung to the roof of my mouth and my teeth like it had signed a lease there. No amount of chewing seemed to improve the experience. Texture matters just as much as seasoning, and unfortunately, this missed the mark. The falafel ended up being the highlight of the meal. It was flavorful, had a nice texture, and was easily the best thing on the plate. I always like giving new places a chance, but this one just wasn't for me. While I appreciated the cleanliness and friendly environment, the food simply didn't leave me wanting to come back. If you'd like, I can also make it a little sharper and funnier for Yelp while still keeping it professional and believable.

Terrific! A lot of…read morepeople have recommended this spot over a long period of time and I finally got to stop by. Food was wonderful. We got two gyro combo meals, and I'm confident that was the best gyro I've ever had. Stuffed to the brim with vegetables and meat too. Fries were just ok, a little hard to eat for my braces. Service was good. The man who took our order was happy and fast to put in and get us our order. Atmosphere was the best part. I'm in love with the interior and the cute fish pond, various decorations, and the place was very clean. Overall A, will update when I try the pizza!

This place is our go-to Greek restaurant in the Lawrenceville area. Never once had anything that…read morewasn't delicious. We've had a good number of the menu items: gyro platter, Greek pizza (our favorite), kofta kabob, adana kabob platter, stromboli, spanakopita, dolmades, baklava (both walnut and pistachio), chicken sumac...and probably others I'm forgetting. We order takeout most of the time. In addition to our main order (usually a large Greek pizza), we usually get a pound of the gyro meat, half-pint of tabouli, half-pint of hummus, spanakopita, and baklava. The service is unrivaled. The owners recognize us when we come in and remember our favorites, including the fact that my housemate can't eat bell peppers, so they know to leave it off the pizza. Can't say enough good things about it, honestly.

Highly recommended. I discovered this market on the way home from work a year and a half ago. I…read morewent for some produce and was blown away by their kitchen and service. Fresh made to order Middle Eastern cuisine. High quality kebabs and mouthwateringly delicious hummus and pitas. Great prices and service. It's a hidden gem fore real. Great selection of high quality fresh olive oil as well. They are consistently hitting it out of the park. Good portions as well. Trust me it's excellent. I almost hate giving this one away, lol. Halal heaven!!!

Great meat department; love that whole chicken (and cut pieces) are offered skinless. Boned beef…read morewas on the expensive side with small portion of meat and a lot of fat. Great selection of Middle Eastern goods; was happy to see دبس فليفلة which I haven't seen since I was in Syria and where it is made by the barrel in homes to last the year. The deli also manages good shawarma and the hummus is so delicious! I wish they were more generous with the side of it in the plate (was less than half full). The salad was tasteless; no salt/spices, nor dressing. A previous visit I purchased two cakes: one carrot and the other chocolate. The carrot cake didn't have any carrots in it (looked, but didn't taste like traditional carrot cake), and the chocolate cake wasn't good at all (bitter) except for the frosting. The 'espresso' based coffee was lukewarm and tasteless. The person put condensed milk in it which made it worse but he did remake it without charge. He kept calling me, mama, which was unsettling to me. I have a son less than half his age. I gave only 3 stars because of the overall ambiance and the discourtesy and unfriendliness of the staff. I didn't realize it, but nothing can be returned after two weeks; the manager, however, kindly did return three items.
