What a great little place to find. I was visiting a friend and he has been here several times. His only complaint is that they aren't open in the evening. Pros: * The prices are reasonable * Chicken wrap - lots of food and the taste was great * Hummus - really enjoyed the creaminess and taste. You get a lot of hummus and really need more pita bread to eat it all. We put the extra on our chicken wraps I can't wait until I visit Pensacola again to try some more items here. read more

Update 9/20, got 3 chicken schwarmas and 1 lamb gyro to go.. well apparently they haven't learned anything in the past few months. The chicken and lamb were extremely dry.... And for $10 I would expect better... our last time there. read more

Mr. Shawarma - Middle Eastern Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Food was amazing. Falafels were awesome. Hummus was top notch. Friendly gentleman at register.

On our 2nd visit, I got the beef shwarma wrap meal with fries and a drink, my wife go just the beef wrap. It was very good. I'm not sure where any of the bad reviews are coming from. It's very good food. read more

I've been trying to get into this place and try it for a year but found it closed, or we're turned away because they were close to closing. Today I finally got inside to order. "A Chicken Shawarma and fries," I requested from the lady, "and a Falafal wrap for my wife, please. Paid and waited for the order to be bagged and went home looking forward to a nice meal. WHAT A DISSAPOINTMENT ! First, there were no fries, sadly because they might have been the best part of the meal. The chicken shawarma was mostly a wilted salad with tasteless shaved chicken on top. Horrible! My wife's wrap was doughy, not crispy like a good, fresh falafel. So, after all this time, I find the dining exto be lacking any effort in taste or presentation. Won't waste my money there again... read more

Mr. Shawarma - Sorry excuse for a chicken shawarma. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

it was okay. the chicken wasn't really seasoned. i had the chicken shawarma. i've had better.

Great chicken sharwma! Very expendiant and friendly service. The ambiance was fine. I went during the day and most people got to-go so I was the only person in the restaurant. read more

Very good if you want decent shawarma for an okay price I'd stop in and give it a try personally love the beef shawarma.

Chicken had an odd taste. Fries were cold and heavily coated. Pita was very dry and not warm.

Food is really great! Love the chicken schwarma and rice. Just wish they were open later.

Food was delicious Service was fast Very welcoming atmosphere with an international ambiance. I think this is a fantastic option with budget friendly menu choices. read more

Mr. Shawarma - Falafel wrap w/ tahini sauce - Middle Eastern Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

It's a small place but it felt homie. The owner was super nice. I love to support small home business like this. Food is good. Service is great. These people genuinely care if the food came out good or not. I had them chicken shawarma this time and will go back to try the beef. There's also a sign for lamb gyro that I gotta try as well. Good lot in the font for parking as well. read more

The food is excellent. We stop in all the time. Love the gyros and my wife loves the falafels.

Just ok for me. Mediterranean food is among the best in the world, Mr Shawarma is middle of the road, we ordered the lamb gyro, felafel and a side of kibbeh (hope i spelled that right), again just decent, tasted like a dish you can make at home. The kibbeh was my fave of the three, wish they served it with a sauce on the side, that would've put it over the top. The service here was very good, place was well kept, prices were predictable. I wouldn't mind trying some of their other dishes in the future, but for now it's a borderline 3 star restaurant. read more

Great place, very good food at a phenomenal price for what you receive. The staff are kind and friendly. The dining room is a touch on the smaller side but this is traditionally street food and more of a takeout style. There is a dining area and I prefer to see it as a more intimate experience, if that is what you are seeking this place will be a pleasure in that regard. read more

Good food. We enjoyed it. I had a lamb gyro and wifey had the falafel plate. The falafel tastes good and had a pretty neat appearance. Round like small donuts in shape almost and had sesame seeds on top. Always cool when the food doesn't just taste good but has a nifty presentation as well. I like how the falafel looked. The gyro was delicious. They also gave us some pita bread with the order. My only suggestion would be that the pita bread be warmed before being served. But that didn't take away from us enjoying our meal. The small order of hummus is a very generous size. It's big! Go here! The food is good. read more

Mr. Shawarma - An amazing chicken shawarma wrap w/ garlic sauce & salad & fries . SO AMAZING! 100/10 - Middle Eastern Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

My fiancé and I have been frequenting the Arab restaurants in Pensacola and Mr.Shawarma is at the top. The shawarmas were delish, the pita bread was amazing -perfect texture and toasting, the marination of the chicken was also tasty! The cashier helped us navigate the menu, good service. The only complaint is there isn't much seating available. Will be sure to get pics next time read more

For $14 I don't think this was worth it but to each their own. I would recommend going somewhere that doesn't over charge. It started when she told me it was false advertisement on their website . The lady at the register was very rude when I asked her about the plate she started to scream at me in front of the guest when I simply asked her. If there was a "side salad" with my order and she replied " that's called a plate! Everything online is wrong and we change the menu daily." So when I looked at the in store menu and it wasn't an option and she told me that, you have to specifically ask for a plate and asked why I am being mean? Am I not allowed to ask questions about what I saw on their website. I was trying to help a guest order his food in the process of her screaming at me and told him that the bowl only comes with chicken and rice if you get the plate it comes with hummus and salad and your choice of protein with a side of rice and the lady started going off even more and the man felt so uncomfortable that he ended up walking out. I ended up getting half my money back but she was still screaming at me and towards the end she says. " I'm having a bad day so I'm sorry." And I told her that she shouldn't put her anger on the customers because her bad day has NOTHING to do with me. I will no longer give a dime to this restaurant. The manager spoke to me and apologized for the ladies attitude but how rude and embarrassing to be screamed at for "your bad day". read more

Mr. Shawarma - Middle Eastern Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Mr. Shawarma is a quaint restaurant off 9th Avenue just a minute from Cordova mall with a couple tables for inside seating and delicious Mediterranean cuisine. We ordered two lamb shawarma wraps at 9.99 each, a delicious chicken shawarma over greens (with fresh vegetables sweet peppers, onions, lightly dressed) at 9.99, and a large fry which was more than enough for the four of us to share at 4.99. The shawarma wraps were fresh and delicious, as was the salad, which was perfectly dressed and refreshing yet filling. The fries were just normal and could have used some seasoning but were hot and crispy. Overall a great experience for us tonight! read more

Absolutely the best shawarma this side of the Atlantic!! The falafel had a crispy shell with a delicious inside! I opted for the chicken shawarma combo single. Wow! They give you your money worth and then some. We were greeted with a smile and quickly noticed the seating is limited to thee small tables. I would gladly stand in a very long line just to have this as my favorite meal!! read more

Mr. Shawarma - The main menu!! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

I am so, so happy I've discovered Mr. Shawarma! Since moving to Pensacola I've hunted around for a spot that reminded me of home, and this is it. The delivery service has been fast and reliable, and when I've driven over to pick up an order the food was brought out to my car. The staff is super courteous and friendly, and took time to explain updates to their menu. The food is so yummy! The hummus is delicious, the falafel is hot and light, never greasy, the baklava is dense and yummy and the perfect treat. I want to try everything on the menu, twice. One of my favorite tells for a great restaurant is when there are English speaking customers as well as customers speaking other languages: everybody happy, brought together for delicious food. Don't miss this gem, especially if you're looking for vegetarian options! read more

Tasty food and good atmosphere, while the food was good I don't know that I could fully recommend this place. I ordered just a wrap with small fries and a drink, and it came out to $17. For that price I don't think I can justify coming back. read more

Most amazing food. Lebanese food at its best. Mouth watering just writing this! Get a schwarma

Normally I save my five star reviews for fine dining or something out of this world but this small little shop deserves all five stars. I've never had Shawarma before, but I am a huge fan now. I was leaving Pensacola and wanted to grab a quick bite to eat with my son before I headed to the airport. I have tried for years to convince my son to eat Shawarma, but he always declined. But my persistence paid off because we stopped off here and ordered the chicken Shawarma and falafel. My son tried the shawarma and I had the falafel both came with fresh made french fries. The Shawarma was so tasty I couldn't believe it came from this very small sandwich shop, it tasted like it should be in fine dining. And the falafel was the best I've ever had, and I've eaten a lot of falafel. It wasn't overly dried nor was it overly cooked, and it was season just perfectly. After I made it home, my son told me that he and his friends visited this sandwich place to enjoy more shawarma. read more

How do you give a fast(er) food place 5 stars? Just like this...mic drop!!! Ok, seriously, I travel a lot and in this day and age, I prefer not to sit in a restaurant so its take out for me when on the road. I found this listing and read the reviews and damn...if they weren't on point. I ordered the med salad (can't spell the real name hedushiorsomethinorothr)with shwarmer and falafel on the side. How incredibly good was this!!! Everything was fresh, the falafel was friggin' amazing and the shwarma (have i slaughtered the spelling..or what)was so flavourful. Though I didn't stay to eat, the place was spotlessly clean and practicing social distance. The lady even brought the food to my car when it was ready. Do stop in and enjoy!!! read more

First time trying this place out. The food is excellent and the service matches that. Nadine was polite, on point, quick and knows what customer service is. Definitely will be going back. Did not take pics this time next time I will:) also super clean place! That never hurts. read more

UPDATE: Restaurant has changed ownership and the recipes are not the same, prices have increased, and portions are now smaller. I'm changing my previous 5 star rating to a 3 star rating because the last 3 times I visited since the change in ownership I've been extremely disappointed. Each time, the rice inside of the grape leaves was hard and lacked flavor. The grape leaves used to be one of my favorite items. Also, their grape leaves now cost more and you receive less. I've visited about three or four times since they have changed ownership, but now I won't be going back. Mr. Shawarma used to be one of my favorite places to enjoy lunch. @mr.shawarma850 had the best shawarma, grape leaves, kibbeh, hummus, tabouleh, baklava, and more; However, now Chef Nader and his tasty recipes are gone. read more

Finally - an amazing & fresh Mediterranean restaurant in Pensacola!!! This place exceeds all expectations. The salad and tabouli are super fresh. It's made every day. But make sure to get there early cause once it's sold out - it's gone!!! Ask for kibbi - it's not on the menu but it's to die for! The falafel is fried to perfection. The chicken shawarma is excellent. Don't forget to order extra garlic sauce - it's delicious! I would rate this place 5 stars read more

Mr. Shawarma - Beef shawarma platter - Middle Eastern Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

Wow - we found this restaurant from a Google search and did not know what to expect. I cannot rave enough about this restaurant! The atmosphere is charming. The food is phenomenal. The staff is friendly, pleasant and eager to please. Especially Simone! She is a true ambassador for this restaurant! (She deserves a raise). The chicken shawarma wrap was amazing! The falafel was exceptional. The stuffed grape leaves were yummy. The hummus was fresh and tasty. Oh, and the baklava- there are not enough superlatives to describe this scrumptious treat! If you have the chance, GO! You will not be disappointed. And I imagine you will too write a fabulous review of this eatery!, read more

Pretty standard and simple mediterranean fare. But the staff are all terrific and service is excellent. Great place to stop in for lunch.

I drove by this place every day coming home from school and it has always tempted me. Man am I glad I finally tried it. Food was tasty and and the chefs assistant really knew their food and had a lot of recommendations. I left this place full and plan on attending again soon. (Will give you 5 stars again when you bring back beef Schwarma) read more

Fast, delicious, great prices for portions! Today, my boyfriend and I finally made a point of stopping at Mr. Shawarma for lunch and the only thing I'm disappointed about is that I live so close and haven't been here before. Alexandra greeted us at the counter with a warm, friendly attitude and patiently answered our questions about their menu. We decided to each get the chicken shawarma wrap, I added hummus and tatziki to mine. I also ordered falafel, hummus and stuffed grape leaves so my boyfriend could try a little of it all. They have vegetarian options, beef and lamb, as well. The food came out super quick while we sat in their charming space. It might not be right for a large party (you can order delivery for a large groups, though) but it was great for a lunch date! The falafel was fresh, delicious, and presented as adorable crispy rings of delight! The shawarma was the highlight, well seasoned and juicy for the perfect backdrop against the briny pickles it comes with. The tatziki was perfect, cool and tangy, and the hummus was flavorful, light and super fresh! I was so full from trying everything that I took my side of hummus home and can't wait to dig into it for a late night snack. read more

Small, friendly family operated Mediterranean style sandwich and wrap spot with excellent Baba ghanouj and baklava. I get the falafel wraps which are delicious. The hummus and pita bread is not up to par with Taste of Jerusalem and More but honestly the Baba ghanouj is so much better. Definitely worth checking out this place! read more

Absolutely delicious shawarma and the best hummus we have ever had. This place is a gem right in Pensacola! We highly recommend this excellent restaurant! read more

My husband and I stopped in for a lunch two weekends ago since we happened to be on that side of town. My husband wanted to eat beef Shawarma (if the shoe fits); however they were out of it? He ordered the toshka not knowing what in the world he was going to get. It turned out to be very similar to a beef quesadilla, and it was yum! It came with french fries and a side salad. The portion was huge! I ordered the falafel sandwich. Again, it was ginormous. Either of those orders would have fed two people; so we had enough for four people! And we ordered the hummus as well. Everything we had was delicious! Go to Mr. Schwarma! read more

Mr. Shawarma - Falafel - Middle Eastern Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

If you love authentic middle eastern food, this place's Shawarma will disappoint you. They put a couple little bits of pickle. No onion, no pickled turnips, no tomato and garlic sauce is more of a tasteless paste. I've had chicken from this location twice and it was extremely dry both times. To the point the skin was hard and sharp. The grape leaves were pretty good and the staff was very nice. read more

Surprised that Mr Shawarma wasn't very good. Upon walking in it seems like a hidden gem and the girl at the counter was very nice, but the food was just about terrible. I got the chicken shawarma plate with veggies. It was cooked in some kind of buttery sauce, and it tasted like cheap fast-food Chinese food. Yuck. I won't be back. read more
