    The food and service was great!! We had a very big group and she still managed to make very yummy food for everyone. Also, I love how there is outdoor seating and how the building is painted in bright colors!!

    Falafel Salad Plate

    Y'all the way I crave this salad!! It's so good and the ingredients are always fresh, gotta get it spicy!! Idk what she puts in that hummus but it's SO good. The perfect example of excellent ingredients making a dish perfect. The owner is so kind, she always remembers me when I go. There is some seating inside and also on the small patio but I usually take it to go and eat it at my office.

    Visited Merhaba Shawarma late last week for an early dinner. The restaurant is easy to find, but the parking lot is small, like enough-parking-spaces-for-6 cars small. There was only one other car when I stopped to order food, so the small parking lot was of little concern for me. I have no idea what the inside of the very small restaurant looks like. Due to Covid-19, the friendly female owner had locked the front door and posted a limited menu on the glass door. She keeps an eye on people who show up at the door, and, while you're still standing outside, will take your order, then, while you wait outside, will lock the door and cook your food and prepare it for take out. You can also call your order ahead of your arrival. I ordered the beef shawarma plate and took it home to eat. For the good price and the amount of food given, it was a good deal. The weight of the food must've been well over a pound. Strips of beef were placed on top of a very generous helping of spiced rice. However, I didn't really care for the taste of the beef. I'm not sure if I actually was given the beef, because it tasted more like lamb, but it could've been the spices. I should have listened to that knowing voice in my head when I ordered. My brain told me to order the chicken, but my mouth overruled and told the owner beef. The salad, which had what tasted like a vinaigrette, was good. If I come back, I will try the chicken next time.

    I came here to do a pickup order for dinner and got the combination plate and the vegetarian plate. The food was delicious and flavorful and servings are large! The woman who owns/runs the place is very sweet and nice and makes everything fresh. It is a small place so not a lot of seating, mostly just for takeout. Will definitely be back again!

    Eating isn't just about the food, it's the vibe too. Beautiful spot right by the rail tracks in Clarkston. A warm and friendly elderly woman working at the front desk took my order and was very attentive. Southern hospitality and immigrant hospitality. Only in Atlanta. I got the combo plate and it was great, meat and salad were fresh and fries were crisp. A great sunny day and good vibes. Come for the food stay because you're happy.

    Love this place. The food is delicious and the lady who owes the shop is extremely welcoming and friendly. They are take out only but do offer some seating outside. The gyro plate is my go-to but the chicken shawarma looks insane. Maybe one day I'll get out of my rut and try it!

    Amazing amaaaaazing amazing! We visited the Clarkston after seeing a clip on National Public Television about the diversity there. Merhaba is EXCELLENT! Go there now, you won't regret it. My husband had the mix chicken & meat shawarma plate and I had the falafel plate. Oh my goshhhh honestly the food here makes me want to move to Clarkston. WOW! Whatever the spicy sauce came on the side... CHEF SMOOCH!

    I love this little place and OMGosh the Chicken Shawarma with garlic sauce and fried rice was so tasty and yummy, I came back the next day for another. You'll be greeted by a lovely Eritrean woman Manna the Chef/co-owner that clearly puts real care into her food. It's just only 4 miles away from my work, so I am grateful to have tried and found it. Just one more thing to love about Merhaba Shawarma is very cozy and friendly space. This place might be very small with 8 to 10 seating at a time and not fancy, but the food is amazing. The lady that served me very sweet, nice, welcoming and friendly. Absolutely loved it. I'm there at least once a month or more. Shawarma is a Levantine Arab meat preparation, where lamb, goat, chicken, turkey, beef, or mixed meats are placed on a spit, commonly a vertical spit in restaurants and may be grilled for as long as a day. Shavings are cut off the block of meat for serving, and the remainder of the block of meat is kept heated on the rotating spit. Although it can be served in shavings on a plate, generally with accompaniments. Shawarma also refers to a pita bread sandwich or wrap made with Shawarma meat. Shawarma is eaten with tabbouleh, fattoush, tomato, and cucumber. Toppings include hummus, pickled turnips and amba. Shawarma is a fast-food staple across the Middle East, Europe, and the Caucasus. Halal foods are foods that are allowed under Islamic dietary guidelines. Merhaba Shawarma offers the best Chicken Shawarma in Atlanta, GA. With their free Wi-Fi at Merhaba Shawarma restaurant, customers can access the Internet using their laptops or PDAs at no charge. So grab a Chicken or Beef Shawarma and log on while you are enjoying your meal. They are open Monday thru Friday 12 PM to 8 PM and Saturday's from 12 PM to 6 PM. Their is limited free parking space in and around the restaurant but it's manageable. It is a must stop when you're in the area and could be a destination dinner location. Do yourself a huge favor and get your next meal here. I will be back for sure and would definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone.

The so-called meat tasted like some type of bread similar to falafel. I didn't taste any beef or lamb. The rice had huge clumps in it, the so called garlic sauce had no garlic taste, the tabbouleh was full of stems and an over powering lemon taste, the salad was also not good and wilted. The only saving grace was the pita bread. The only nice thing I can say is the food had a nice presentation and the gentleman taking my order was very friendly. Hence, the 2nd star. But to be fair I have not tasted any of the other dishes so this review is solely based on what I ordered. Sadly, I won't return.

The restaurant itself was brightly lit inside, so look for the OPEN sign and you'll know you're in the right place. Walking in, no one was visible. There were voices coming from behind the curtain to the kitchen area. The door did not have a bell, but threre was one on the counter next to the cash register. I rang (twice) before someone came out from a side room. The server was extremely pleasant and efficient. I ordered the mixed plate (chicken and gyro). They cut the gyro meat as it is ordered. The rest of the items are in trays on the serving line. The plate comes with rice, hummus, pita, and a small salad. I was asked what sauce I wanted and was allowed to try several. The Baraka and tzatziki sauces were both excellent. The chicken and gyro meat was tender, moist, and flavorful. The gyro especially was not dried out and was quite good. The salad was crisp and fresh. The hummus has a strong garlic flavor and easily stood up to all the other components of the meal. While the location may look a little sketchy, especially at night, the food provided is top notch and well worth the visit.

From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a colorful spread of grains, greens, proteins, and toppings that beg to be mixed and matched. The reason I decided to stop here for lunch on this particular Saturday is because of the limited of time protein they were offering "pomegranate-glazed salmon". My base was a mix of spinach and arugula. The toppings are what set Cava apart: tangy pickled onions, creamy hummus, and their legendary crazy feta that gives just the right kick. The dressings seal the deal. I recommend the harissa if you're in the mood for heat. Service was quick and friendlish, I ordered my meal ahead to go. When I walked inside the guy at the counter handed me my bag and I left. The space itself had that clean, modern vibe that makes for a cute lunch date. They also have outdoor seating available. My only issue with this visit is that none of the 3 hummus that was supposed to be in my bowl was there when I arrived home. Other than the missing part of my bowl, everything tasted crisp and vibrant. My meal was delicious. Definitely a go-to when you want take-out with healthy vibes. Just make sure if you order online you check your food before you leave.
