You may need patience to wait for the meat to be grilled. I got the 5 pieces lamb chop. The chop are like the t bone section about 1 inches thick. The seasoning is very flavorful. The style is almost like blackened but yet is not blackened. Meat is tender and lovely. The two side I have are Arabic salad and grill veggies. I also have smoke rice. In their menu has some authentic dish. This dish are Maqluba, Arabic biryani, oven roast lamb and chicken. Those are the items I may try next time.

I'm not sure if…read morethe inconsistency was a fluke or we started high but then disappointed having had greater expectations. We tried them out at the Tampa International Food Festival at Water Works Park and can honestly say that the lamb skewers and chicken wings were great! The falafel were small and dry, but the rest was wonderful. They were grilled over a portable charcoal grill and the flavor was on point. It was a 4 star. So we had to try them out at the restaurant. Fast forward a week and we went to their bricks and mortar location after being reminded by an online ad. Use the address as the front had a different sign and definitely a rustic look. We did an online order via their Google Menufy link. The Family Meal was for 4 and included 4 types of skewers plus a choice of sides. While it wasn't ready and we had to wait, they offered us a drink. Once ready, I'm glad I checked since the desserts paid online weren't available and I expected a refund but didn't see it. So getting back to the food...it looked like kubbideh, ground chicken, chicken and steak/beef with a choice of 3 sides. We chose rice (abundant portion), grilled veggies (skimpy) that were ok but not great. So what happened to the spice and seasoning that I had last week? Ground chicken was better of the bunch. The highlight was the side of babaganoush with the pita bread!! And the homemade yogurt was meh. So this was really more a 3 star meal. I'll round up my 3.5 to give ''em a chance. But give me more of the babaganoush and get me some lamb and wings. Next time I'll need to be more discerning with my order. Again, you decide for yourself. Enjoy!

You can taste the difference immediately -- the meat is juicy, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor, and the bread comes out warm and fresh. The portions are generous, everything tasted fresh, and the garlic sauce is absolutely addictive. Every bite has that authentic Syrian flavor that's honestly hard to find. The staff were welcoming and friendly, the place was clean, and the food came out fresh and hot. You can tell they actually care about the quality of what they serve. If you're craving real Middle Eastern/Syrian food, GO HERE. Get the shawarma, load it up with garlic sauce, and thank me later. Definitely one of those places you try once and immediately start thinking about when you're coming back. 10/10 -- I'll absolutely be back!

Cons: Sodas are sold a la carte for $2. No free refills. No physical menu. There is a QR code that links to the restaurant menu. Overall: a Pretty good Indian restaurant in New Tampa.

We get one to go every time we visit. We LOVE our lamb Biryanis SPICY, Indian HOT, and Bawarchi Biryanis delivers just that. Nose running, mouth on fire, sweating forehead with no regrets. Hahaha :)... I have been visiting both locations & last time I was at the Brandon location & got the lamb Biryani family pack to go (SPICY) not only was it NOT spicy, there was hardly any lamb in it, it was mostly rice. My tribe was very upset about it. The tatunka white buffalo elders warned me next powwow if things didn't improve, I would be cast out of the circle of truth & be put on fish gut fertilizer duty. So, to keep from getting demoted from my high ranking position in my tribe, I decided to get the highly sought after Bawarchi Lamb Biryani family pack (INDIAN HOT) from the Wesley Chapel location. It not only did not disappoint, it was so amazeballs that I was promoted to "Lady Medicine Chief" harmonic Shamanic healer & "teacher of the sun dance" sister. While I was also at the Wesley Chapel location, I also had the Saag lamb & garlic naan. The Lamb Saag was so freakin perfectly balanced, lamb so tender, full of healing ginger & spices, so perfectly spicy, my forehead was sweating, my nose running, mouth on FIRE with no regrets. Both, the best I have ever had OuiOui. For moi, Bawarchi Biryanis, their Wesley Chapel tribe, has emerged as a holistic system of "food as medicine" emphasizing the balance of mind, body & spirit. From one Shamanic healer to another, it is my belief that Ancient healing practices have long been integral to human societies, playing a significant role in addressing health & wellness long before the advent of modern medicine. It is my belief that Bawarchi Biryanis understands these ancient healing practices, utilizing a combination of whole spice rituals, herbs & spiritual connection. It would be of my greatest & highest honor to give Bawarchi Biryanis Wesley Chapel tribe's most beautiful herbal healers & medicinal practitioners 5 stars. You are unmatched in, almost, every way.. However, both times I was there the bathroom door continues to be covered in dirty hand prints. I'm not sure why this is happening & it's not being cleaned properly. The place is so small it would only take 20 mins with a bucket of bleach water to wipe it all down back white again. Cleanliness is also a state of purity, freshness, of natural healing & enhances mental well-being. To the Chef/Owner: All the senses are here, what you have already achieved is beyond winning. However, do not surrender your own mind, body & spirit of Cleanliness to declare premature Victory. The greatest victory is that which requires no battle, in your case, it will only require 20 mins & a bucket of bleach. A clean & pure environment is necessary for survival. Please, teach your tribe to also practice the art of cleanliness. Let's Win it all together. Will return. Namaste.
