    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!

Walking in, it wasn't busy. There was only 1 person waiting for a to-go order. There was a good amount of seating. It wasn't the cleanest though, the floors needed some serious sweeping. We seated ourselves and the young man at the front counter took our order. He was very quiet but helpful. We ordered the Tikka Masala with chicken, Butter Masala w/ chicken, Vindaloo with Shrimp and Garlic Naan. The food was piping hot-temperature wise and arrived in take-out containers. So we needed to wait a few minutes for it to cool a little so we could eat it. Their ice maker wasn't working and the water was warm, so there was no cooling to be found there. When we finally tried the food, we were impressed. The spice-levels of each dish were as expected and the food was delicious! Unfortunately, in the Vindaloo, chicken was put in instead of the shrimp which we had ordered. But it was still good. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Garlic Naan as well. Overall, we were glad to have tried this place. The prices are comparable to other establishments of the same cuisine. However, the food is above average. We'll be back!

Beautiful area with lots of kids playing by the fountain. Sitting is inside or outside the restaurant. Lady who greeted us were very nice. All tables were taken outside so we sat inside the restaurant looking out to the fountain area. Place was decorated nicely with pillows on some of the sittings. Really cute place and cozy. Three of us were hungry and the aroma coming from the kitchen made us twice as hungry. We ordered 2 vegetable dishes, Palak Paneer and Aloo Matar. The Palak Paneer which is spinach with cheese was delightful. It is our favorite vegetable dish and tied our entrees together. It's comforting and savory. The Aloo Matar fresh peas and potatoes were as delicious but hard to compare with the Paneer. I did like the peas a lot. For our entrees we had the Chicken Kadai, Lamb Tarkari and Chicken Tandoori. All came with basmati rice. The chicken kadai had a nice spicy kick. The lamb was tender and lots of cinnamon notes. The tandoori was crispy, tender and juicy. The Garlic cilantro naan was tasty, soft and buttery and great with soaking in all the curry sauce. All the flavors hit the right spot and were all delicious! We had a tiny leftover left of the rice, naan and Aloo Matar. Otherwise we devoured our entire meal. It was that yummy!!! We love this place. Everything about our experience felt like your grandmother or aunties made these food just for you. It was that authentic and cozy!

Parking is very easy as the lot is very big. They are usually empty during lunch time, so not usually too long of a wait. My go too is the beef schwarma lunch special, it includes the schwarma, rice, salad and hummus. You can add on bread for an extra cost and it's a bigger than your head. The schwarma is seasoned very well, and not chewy. The rice is also very good, and flavorful. The hummus is one of my favorites, although this time it was a little thicker than usual. I love the dressing they use on the salad, I could eat a whole bowl of the stuff. The salad had a lot of cucumber, cut in big chunks, which is how i like it. The bread is enough for 2 people at least, so i would keep that in mind. 2 of us shared it and we still had some left over that we couldn't finish. The portions in general are very big, for me it was enough to dance leftovers of everything except the salad. I think this is a must to try if you live nearby, or even if you are just in the area, i don't think you will be disappointed.
