    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.

    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!

    Beef shawarma plate

    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.

    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!

    The owner was so nice. The food was delicious! I came to the area to get my car repaired at the neighboring repair shop and had an empty stomach. This was my first time trying Mediterranean food and I will definitely be back! :)

    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.

    Their wraps are good. I went one night and it was my first time getting the wrap and I was over…read moresatisfied. The cashier and tram members was great. Then I went back 2 days later and I was not satisfied. I ordered the same thing queso verde wrap, with grilled chicken, avocado slices and baby bellas. Went home 25 minutes away and their was no chicken, so I drove back to get it replaced, when they remade it, they left out the avocado slice, I was too frustrated to go back. But she did give me a coupon for a free one. So when they give you the coupon for a free wrap you CAN NOT get the side part, you will have to pay for those. They are not included with the FREE SALAD/WRAP coupon. They are also a CASHLESS establishment!!! It is a quiet establishment when you can work and enjoy a lunch in the place. It's very clean. Their chips are an extra $2 fee, they are not included with meal. They serve Sweet Potatoes Chips and BbQ Sweet Potatoes Chips This place is a MO's and Chipotle just healthier.

    Our company ordered catering yesterday and the setup was perfect. We got to build our own salad…read morebowls. I got some mixed greens, brown rice, grilled chicken, bella mushrooms, creamy chipotle sauce, tahini sauce, chick peas and cucumbers salad, avocado guacamole. It was so good! Service was wonderful as well! Definitely will grab lunch here sometime soon!
