Ordered a make your own bowl for delivery and went WILD! Fries, beef, chicken, hummus, tomato, onions, and lettuce. Arrived warm and ready to devour. Was PACKED with MEAT which I love. Very flavorful and filling. Will DEFINITELY be ordering again because it was affordable compared to a lot of food options today. Thank you Mr. Shawarma. If you have a Mrs. Shawarma (or maybe it's another Mr? Love is love) I'm sure they are happy because you deliver wonderful meals. read more

Mr. Shawarma - Build your own bowl! - Halal Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Mr Shawarma has the best burgers in town. If you are ever in the area and want to try Iraqi food this is the perfect spot to try. The owner is very kind and welcoming to all customers. Highly recommended. 10/10 in taste, quality and flavor. This is a very inspiring business. Started as food truck then became a full restaurant. read more

The service is good. Lady who took an order and made us food is very nice. The food is pretty good. However, we took order to go, and all the sauces were just on the plates, so it is spilled all around. Would be better if they would put sauce in those little plastic containers so everything stay closed and doesn't spill. The food truck looks pretty fun. Overall, it's not bad for the price, but there are better spots with shawarma for sure. read more

Mr. Shawarma - Beef chicken shawarma wrap - Halal Near Me - Carlsbad, California

This was a huge disappointment. First time ordering, heard such good things. I got a chicken shwarma wrap with added lettuce and seasoned fries. No lettuce, no seasoning on the fries, including salt, and the fries were not even half way cooked. They were still hard in the middle and white on the outside. The shwarma was pure curry flavored, nothing else. If I'd wanted curry chicken I would have ordered it. We got a side of falafel, which was also barely fried and still soft, not crisp at all, and you guessed it, tasted like curry patties, not chickpeas. We ordered both types of baklava. The $6.99 Nutella baklava was 2- 1 inch squares. They forgot to include their "most popular" baklava in the order at all. It was too many things that tasted poorly or weren't even cooked properly to think there was a new cook. Plus forgotten items in the order. Overall it was a waste of money and we wouldn't recommend it to anyone. No one there seemed to care about quality control or accuracy. read more

Mr. Shawarma - Two tiny pieces of baklava for $7 - Halal Near Me - Carlsbad, California

The food truck was there during the Christmas on Maine event in lakeside. Ordered beef shawarma with a side of fries. Order came out to be like $27 or so. Okay, a bit on the steep side but said it's probably worth it since there's so many good reviews. Waited 20 minutes for the food and was extremely disappointed at the price and portion provided. Walked 5 minutes to the car to find: The hummus provided did not taste good and was doused in oil. The salad was covered in the same oil and and did not taste fresh. The beef and rice had no flavor. We were given tortilla wraps on the side (is this a joke?). The French fries had a sprinkle of seasoning on it and came soggy. This was a miss from me. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. The only nice thing I can say is that the gentleman who took my order was nice. read more

When I was younger, I lived in Saudi Arabia for a couple of years and there aren't any places in states where the shawarma has been as good or juicy but this place surprised me! The shawarma was super juicy and I asked to make it spicy and it was perfect! Pros: meat was super juicy, delicious, and reminded me of Saudi shawarmas Cons: no water cups, service was slow, Taste: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Value: 4.5/5 read more

This food was delicious. Highly recommend, hence the name of the restaurant , shawarma. I personally like the chicken plate with rice because it came with a little salad and some hummus. Brought all my friends here and would recommend anyone else to as well. Service was quick and the art was really pretty. read more

I got there lamb/beef shawarma wrap, it was 8.8/10 so good. I didn't car too much for the sauce, too watery for me. I either like a tahini sauce or a garlic paste. Their garlic sauce was ok. Then I got their 1lb of lamb/beef shawarma a la carte. I had some left over pita at home and it made 5 wraps. Great customer service and then dessert shop and new halal meat market ( where I got some dope lamb chops) are amazing. read more

Thank you Ali for the great customer service and food. The proportions of the chicken was absurdly alot! Im full off of $12 read more

Mr. Shawarma - Chicken Shawarma Bowl - Halal Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Service was horrible I asked for a cup for water because they have fountain drinks and the lady with extra lipstick taking my order said she does not have a cup for water I would have to buy a bottle - it's 100 degrees outside and like 90 degrees in the store it's so hot they have fans going which is loud and now they are playing their mucus even louder to cover the sound. They have flies flying around all over the place and the parking spaces are tiny and the parking lot is filthy looks like a landfill out here. Not a fan of this place already and I just placed my order let's see how the food is... they need to turn the AC on it feel like I'm in the Middle East it's actually hotter in the restaurant than it is outside. The chicken lacks flavor you need to drown it in sauce to power it down the flies don't even like the food they are staying away from it. Just tried the chicken without the sauce it's not edible it's gross lack flavor and is dry not good I will not be returning it's hot in here the staff is rude and the food needs sauce like a pool of it to power it down - shame on them - One guy came out and asked how was everything and was nice and offered me more sauce thank God for him... Ok he saves the day ... I think she told him I'm writing a review The sauce makes it better and if it has a little spice to it we would be ok. But just a little training if you have a restaurant and no AC offer free water cups read more

Mr. Shawarma - I asked her not to cut it like this just one cut - she said ok - Halal Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Unfortunately subpar. Food: The shawarma rice plates have an odd spice that overtakes the food. Not sure what it is but it is unpleasant to eat as far as flavor. It was cooked well but the chicken had some hard tendons left in it that hurt to bite into. The sauce on top was pretty much mayonnaise - I've never tasted a white sauce like that at a Mediterranean spot. The pita on the side was flour tortillas Service: Good but nothing special. I asked for beef and lamb shawarma on one of the plates and he assured he could do that. There was no lamb. I would not pay $17.50 per plate again, and probably wouldn't even pay $10 unless they made some serious changes. read more

A.MAZ.ING!! Been here a few times, they use to be in PB but they got ran out of there, now they are in El Cajon. I will follow you guys wherever you go, THE BEST shawarma in all of SD!! You can't go wrong with the chicken or beef! Both are perfect along side their delicious pickled veggies! 10/10 food 10/10 service Never change! read more

Mr. Shawarma - Truck - Halal Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Finally made it down to this food truck. The truck is located on the edge of the CVS shopping center on jamacha rd in el cajon. There is a 7 -11 across the street. First time here. I ordered the lemon cilantro beef shawarma combo sandwich and fries. The beef literally melts in your mouth. It's so tender. The lemon sauce is very good. Not too strong. The sandwhich is huge. It comes in a crispy thin bread wrap thats cut into SIX sections. They give you a small bite of pickled veggies and tahini sauce on the side. Plus my fries. I couldn't be happier. You will LOVE this food. You Must Be Patient. There are 3 guys in this truck making amazing things. If you're in a hurry- come back when you're not. It's worth the wait for sure. read more

Very disappointed when I placed an order 24 hrs before via Uber eat delivery and they canceled it last min. While my employees were waiting for their lunch treat, I called to see why it was canceled but the lady who picked up the phone was clueless. We all ended up going to lunch late as I had to order frantically from another restaurant and because it was a big order, we had to wait way past lunch hour. Thankfully my employees understood. This is truly not professional on their end. I will never order from them again. read more

The Best Shawarma SD has to offer!!!! I can't even began to explain. Just try them! You won't regret it

The habibi burger was delicious I won't lie about that! Wings though were undercooked, came bloody inside. Shawarma was a little dry too sadly. I ordered two orders of baklava but I guess they didn't have any. Instead of canceling the order or calling us to see if they could replace with something else, they just replaced it with Nutella wrap. These were no good, it was just the same wrap they use for their shawarma but with a little Nutella. It was nothing even like baklava, I really wish they would have just canceled that part of the order. Two stars just cuz of the delicious habibi burger but overall not the best experience I'm sorry. read more

Chill dude and great food. There's only one guy running it, so it's a little slow, but it's really good as it's all made from scratch. read more

Just tried the location by 30th and grape today. It's a good truck so they move to different areas. Once I saw it I had to turn back and grab some, honestly the best shawarma I have tried in San Diego. There is just something about the shawarma meat that's different and taste so so good. Very moist and tender, it's wonderful. The bread was super warm and crunchy, very tasty. The girl in the front was super nice too she even walked my order to the car when it was ready. Great customer service and food. 5/5 in my book! read more

Sold out of chicken AND beef two hours before closing. All they had was burgers, fries, and sides. A little disappointing since the majority of the menu wasn't available. Burger was pretty good, but not at all what I came for. Wish I could have tried the shawarma, it isn't called Mr. Burger lol. read more

Was visiting from La and wanted to try this place. I ordered chicken shawarma and asked for Koshari. The girl helping me had no idea what it was even though it was on the menu. I waited 45 minutes to get my order. It was so greasy because i think they fried the bread and the garlic sauce was not like the paste you get in Arab places. It was like a runny mayo. As soon as i ate the first piece i immediately just closed the box. I got a sick feeling in my stomach from the gush of the oil and sauce in my mouth. I can't describe how gross it was. Im sorry for leaving this comment. But please educate your staff more about the menu. And please don't make your wraps so greasy. read more

I am writing an update to my review here Because this place ir no longer a good place to recommended DO NOR WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY Very unprofessional, poor customer service, not answering the business phone, most of the time you got wrong items in your order, and finally expensive for a food truck read more

I cannot comment on the taste because I have tried to eat at Mr Shawarma twice, and both times they were out of hummus or pita. The woman who was to take my ordered kept saying they were out of everything I asked for. I finally asked, ok, so what do you have then?" I ordered the hummus, but they had no pita. So, I decided to not order anything. On the second occasion I showed I ordered the beef Shawarm. They wanted me to wait 30 min for the shawarma to be ready, so once again I left. read more

After waiting 25 minutes , I paid $27 for a cheap, scattered order. Everything is mixed together. Even the pickles when you look at them look like pickle scraps . Unfortunately, the shop is new, but the preparation method is inexperienced. read more

Great baklava! Zeid is awesome! Really nice too. Come check it out!!!! Great location feels great coming by.

Was looking for a place to eat late at night (1 AM). Yelp suggested this place and it had pretty great reviews so we decided to check it out. This food truck is located in a gas station. Therefore, parking is extremely limited. They have some outdoor seating under a large tent next to their truck. When we went there was plenty of room to sit (maybe because it was 1 am). The staff were friendly. They are arab so you know its gonna be good! They even offered us complimentary dessert to try. We had 4 people in our group and we all shared a chicken and beef shawarma combo. It was plenty of food to fill all of us up. As an arab myself, i am super critical about arabic food. I have to say that these shawarmas were one of the best ive had here in San Diego. The meats were both super tender and the spices they used were soooo f****** good!! They DONT use pita for their shawarmas which I personally enjoy because pita is too heavy. They use a more traditional and lighter bread for their shawarmas. The fries were good, nothing special. The combo comes with pickled peppers etc. Overall, the atmosphere wasnt the nicest. However, the food was so good its worth any cons you might experience. I would 100% recommend this place for arabs and others who want to taste AUTHENTIC middle eastern shawarma. read more
