    Beef chicken shawarma wrap
    Vincent N.

    Ordered the pita combo but found out I got the wrap instead. No biggie! Gotta try the pita wrap next time hopefully my order is correct Great food!

    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.

    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.

    I asked her not to cut it like this just one cut - she said ok

    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

    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!

    Believe it or not, but this was our first time ever ordering from a Food truck and we didn't even realize it until we pulled up! Haha The food was so good and fresh- for once we didn't have to reheat it when we got home. I really enjoyed the Mr Sharma fried and Beef Shwarma wrap. We would definitely recommend!!

    I went back after couple years, I had a great experience. The food is incredible fresh and delicious, great service and I'm coming back

    I got the double trouble combo and it hit the spot after a long day of classes. Pretty decent for a food truck.

    Great service, havent had the chance to eat the food yet, but super excited to try it out for the first time! Also love how close to campus this is!

The owner greeted me and was really kind. I ordered the spicy hummus, gyro wrap, and chicken kebab salad. It was all very flavorful. The tzatziki sauce was like no other and had a familiar taste I couldn't really hone in on what it was. I wish I grabbed more for my gyro because it was a pretty good size and was packed with meat. I've had many gyros in my day and I can say this one was well sized and also well priced for what you get. My wife's chicken kebab salad was also a hit. Not only was her chicken kebab very flavorful with Lebanese spices but the salad dressing it came with was also a very flavorful herby vinaigrette. I noticed there wasn't anybody inside the restaurant but it was also late. I also happened to notice that they had a lot of takeout orders ready to go. That tells me that this place is a real hit and many people come here for the cuisine. All in all, my wife loved the food and we will be returning again. I can see us getting food here more often.

They have real shish kebabs with several protein options, and we went all in on the family platter. Yes, it's a little on the pricier side, but the flavors are absolutely there and it felt worth it. My one suggestion would be to ease up a little on the sauce portions. I'd love to have both hummus and sauce with the platter instead of just one giant bowl of one or the other. The rice and salad were tasty, the pita was fresh, and we'll definitely be back.

Compact parking lot, plus free public parking about a block or so away. A coworker who frequents this restaurant highly recommended it, so we thought we'd try it before a show at nearby Moonlight Theater. Service was slow, taking about half-an-hour to receive our orders. Admittedly it was a busy Friday night, but when we arrived, most of the tables around us were empty. They were also busy with take-out orders. We started to do that thing where you check your watches and look around the restaurant in hope that your meals will arrive soon and disbelief that other tables that filled after you are eating. For example, the table next to us that arrived way after us started tucking in on individual appetizers while we sat waiting. I won't say the food wasn't good, it's just that none of us really enjoyed it. The salad was dry and extra dressing had to be asked for. The pita was extremely garlicky to the point where I could still taste the garlic the next morning. My husband didn't like the taste of the chicken. We're glad we tried it, but unfortunately, the experience didn't float our boat as much as it does for others. Helpul?
