Double Trouble Shawarma
Sue M.

We were looking for a dinner spot that was open late and came across Mr Shawarma on Yelp. This place did not disappoint. The guy manning the kitchen recommended the double trouble shawarma which has the beef & lamb and chicken. He did not lead us astray. It was super delicious! The meat was super juicy! The wrap was an explosion of flavors! My tummy was happy. They have an outdoor patio out front where you can people watch while you enjoy your food which is a fun experience of in PB. Will definitely come back to try some other menu items!

After a long bike ride, this place hit the spot--the food was absolutely delicious. We also loved the covered outdoor area; it was so inviting and made it easy to sit back and really enjoy our meal

Dessert!

Ohh this place is fantastic. Good for the wallet and good meal for the heart. Everything is presented with intention and worth the time. Yes, parking can be difficult and a little annoying but that is the downside to a beach town.. always busy. They take walk ins and are open on a regular schedule with friendly staff and a clear menu. I am glad I came and will be back.

Chicken Shawarma

This is for the one located in Garnet Ave. I got the chicken shawarma. It was pretty good, decent size but it was missing something. Can't quite put my finger on it. It was still good but not quite great. Good option in the area.

Beef and lamb Shawarma
Mariam R.

The Chipotle chicken shawarma is always a hit--great flavor, love the sauce, and portions are generous. The beef and lamb shawarma are tasty too, though once it didn't taste as fresh and another time it was a bit too salty. They have some great dessert options, and the staff is always really nice. Outdoor seating is a plus.

Kids Rice and Chicken Shawarma

Love love love the food here! I used to go to their spot when it used to be by the gas station a long time ago. Having their own spot on Garnet is pretty sweet! It looks like a great place for dine in with ample seating or takeout. I ordered the Lemon Cilantro Beef Shawarma and ordering online was easy! The worker was nice and decent wait times! The food is so tasty and love the flavors from the meats and the garlic sauce turns it up a notch. Definitely a solid spot for getting my shawarma fix!

This place was open very late after the bars and it hit the spot! I got the fries with all the meats. They add some sauce as well that complements the meats very well. Great friendly service! If I lived in the area I would probably go here on a regular basis.

Menu

To start, service was great. The two employees up front were very nice and got the food out quickly. The restaurant is clean and nicely decorated, which makes you feel safe. In regards to the shawarma, it was just alright for me. The meat was decently tender but lacked flavor. It was definitely missing some herb flavor and was under-seasoned. My food also felt under-salted. I can say the same about the fries; the seasoned fries contained little to no seasoning. They tasted like plain steak fries, and only a few had any of the red powdered seasoning. The tahini sauce was creamy and garlicky, which was very good. The pickles were also a nice addition to the plate. Overall, the portion size was decent, but the flavor was lacking on my visit.

We've been to Tahini before but decided to make a special trip to Tahini to support them after…read morehearing they've been constantly harassed with hate messages/crimes -- which is so horrible and sad. The food is was great and one of my favorite spots when I'm craving middle eastern wraps- I did built your own pita so of course I like the ingredients. I loved my pita bread (it's much different from the Greek style if you haven't tried it before!) and the enjoyed the steak in particular. It had a lot of warming spices (nutmeg and cinnamon maybe?) and the flavor is pretty unique! I added bell peppers, pickled cucumbers, lettuce, tomato, red onion, tahini sauce, and garlic sauce. I also got a piece of falafel - I always gotta judge a place by their falafel and this one was crispy on the outside and soft in the inside which was perfect. Next time I need to try the halloumi cheese stix with fig jam! Place was very clean and the decor was nice. I also love the Finjan coffee spot next door.

The food here is genuinely outstanding - fresh, colorful, flavorful, and made with care. Every time…read moreI eat here I'm reminded why I keep coming back. The staff is also consistently warm and kind, which makes the whole experience feel good from the moment you walk in. My only real frustration is with the wait times on online orders, and it's significant enough that I have to mention it. I work 10 min away and only get a 35-40 minute break. The app consistently quotes around 20 minutes- but honestly, 20 minutes shouldn't even be necessary. I've stood there and watched them make a bowl. It takes about two minutes. Other similar restaurants have my order ready in five minutes, consistently. So when the app quotes 20 and then I still end up waiting at the 20 minute mark on top of that - in a nearly empty restaurant - something is off. Today this happened (I hit the 20 min mark with no food), and I had to go up and ask them to make my order. This isn't a one-time thing either. It's happened enough times over the years that it genuinely deters me from coming here on my break. To their credit, there was a stretch where it seemed like they had it figured out, so I know they can do it. I just wish that consistency would stick. If you're not on a time crunch, absolutely go. The food alone is worth it. But if you're relying on a quoted pickup time, build in a buffer- a bigger one than you'd think you'd need.

I have eaten there so many times I can't even count. Their food and their restaurant is my favorite…read moreplace to eat in San Diego. George and Samia are the most wonderful people in the world. George will come out of the kitchen and explain, in detail, every item on the menu. I laugh when I read or even see a subpar review of Alforon. Those people are either high on drugs or never experienced excellent food before. Chicken Tawook, Tabouli salad, house pickles, everything is off the chart and that's just the for starters. You can close your eyes, point to a menu item and have the best meal of your life. Explore their whole menu, you can't go wrong with a single item. Hands down off the chart and excellent food by two of the nicest people you will ever meet in your life.

I love the floral and pistachio taste, and it doesn't leave you feeling heavy afterwards. The mint lemonade is also a must have- tastes like it came from the garden in the best way possible. For savories, I had the spinach and cheese bajeen, baba gannouj, and the lamb fatteh - all had a lot of flavor and tasted homemade. I love trying new foods so will have to come back with more friends and try other things on the menu. The downside of this place was being seated on the right side of the restaurant near the carry out section. This was the pit of despair. I noticed that most of the staff goes to the other end first, and as a result 4 tables got seated after us and all of them had food on their table before we managed to flag one of the staff. It was definitely busy in there but he replied that he was simply going in order, but apparently order or left side to right side instead of arrival. I recommend trying to get seated on the side w the stained glass windows for better service. Other than that, the experience overall was pleasant.
