Their Injera Plate is the bomb! The portion is huge! We were plesantly surprised. Please keep it that way and don't change it.

Like a lot, but not love ... yet. I'm kind of torn. I have been spoiled by a Jewish Shawarma place years ago here in Anchorage. I came to check it out and it's really good the lamb Shawarma we got was really fast served and great, but I can't put a finger on it, something is missing. I'll try their chicken next time but like I said I need confirmation to credit it 5 star. But the 4 stands as it was delectable, but ... missing something. read more

Hi. Sorry my review is an outlier but I am just not seeing the 4,7 rating this place has on yelp. While the food was fast, I surmise that is because they cook their meat hours maybe even a day in advance and keep warm all day. translation - dry meat. I ordered the wrap and while it was grilled on the outside like a grilled cheese burrito. The filling just didn't do it for me. I ate half and had no desire to eat the rest. Ps my other half who never gets sick ate his completely. And did get sick the next day. May or may not be related but seemed like it was. I really wanted to like this place because I love shawarmas read more

We stopped in to look at the grocery next door and found this gem. The service was amazing and we loved the feel of the place. Make sure to get the dips they are some of the best I've had. I want to go back to get more food, to try different things. read more

Incredible! I got the lamb shawarma wrap and the meat was so fresh and flavorful, plus they put pickles on it which complimented it perfectly. I ordered to go and the food was ready in a just a couple minutes, and there was no line! read more

I travel to the Middle East and Europe very often, and I'm not sure any of the other shawarmas measure up to this! I ordered a lamb shawarma sandwich. The lamb was moist and flavorful, vegetables complimented it well, hot green sauce also tasted great, and portions are massive at a great price. Not sure what else you'd need, oh and the service was quick and friendly. Bit of advice - I initially went to order through grub hub on Yelp, and it was almost $3 more expensive than ordering in the store with no tip included, so I recommend going in person to order. There are tables to eat, but it's connected to a halal market, and may not be the best date spot, but still a nice casual place not to avoid dining in or takeout. read more

Wow what an unexpected hit. My husband had casually mentioned stopping here years ago and having one of the best wraps ever. I didn't pay a lot of thought to it as it isn't super convenient to our neighborhood, but we decided to make the trek to bring some home for dinner the other night and wow, he wasn't lying. The lamb shawarma wrap was bursting with flavor. The wait wasn't long, the food was still hot when we got home, and they gave us some of the most delicious tea to drink while we waited. No notes, will be back read more

This is one of my favorite gems in Anchorage. The samosas, biryani, and lamb or chicken wraps are so delicious you can't go wrong with either choice. The wraps are very filling and come with two sauces that complement the flavor of the meat. read more

You are on Yelp because reviews are important. Between Yelp and DoorDash I have never seen so many five star and outstanding reviews for an establishment. Reviews saying the same thing, you absolutely must try their food. 5 stars is not enough! I ordered at 6 PM on a Friday evening via DoorDash. I received my order within 45 minutes and this is coming from the East side to the middle of Spenard. Everything was hot and delicious. FYI- on DoorDash they are listed as Anchorage Halal Marker (sp?) looks like a typo in there but just be aware so you have the right spot. This review is basically to update and support every good review that's already established. The food is amazing and you must must must bless yourself with a meal from them. The spices are blended immaculately, and it is difficult to stop once you've started plowing through a plate of chicken Shawarma. You won't want to share, you won't be able to eat it all in one meal, and you still won't want to share the leftovers. That's OK don't, it's all for you. I will be ordering again posthaste. I can see this as a once a week staple meal. I am so pleased with the availability of authentic Middle Eastern food of this variety and I hope that our community patronizes and protects this gem! read more

Went again to see if they turned things around. MISTAKE. Food was about 45 degrees and dripping with oil (yes we ate at the restaurant). A friend of mine got sick here a few days ago. ...not surprised. Might call the health inspector, obviously not hitting the required temps. Was so good and now I am just going to stay far far away. read more

Absolutely incredible! The restaurant itself may look small and inconspicuous, but the flavors that are packed into the food are big and bold!! Being a family run business, the vibes and service in the restaurant are casual and friendly. It is also connected to a store with all types of goodies! I've only gotten the lamb shawarma so far. It's a flour tortilla filled with veggies, pickles, white sauce (tahini?), and the lamb of course. The flavor of the lamb is unbeatable. It also comes with an extra side of white sauce and a spicy green sauce. The green sauce compliments the shawarma so well. I have nothing but positive things to say about My Shawarma House and I hope to try new items soon. read more

This family owned business with delectable food will keep me coming back over and over. The injera bread was fresh and tasty, plus I was able to order more for home at the store next door. The lamb and tangy sauce were full of spices without being spicy. My vegetarian friend was able to get vegetable food that was just as wonderful as the lamb and goat we tried. I am so thankful to the family working with our dietary needs and getting the food to us quickly. The restaurant was quiet and had plenty of seating, plus the connected store was fun to walk around while waiting for our food. I will certainly be back and recommend My Shawarma House both to locals and visiting tourists! read more

My Shawarma House - LAMB WITH INJERA and MANGO LASSI - Halal Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I AM SO EXCITED! We finally have a restaurant serving Middle Eastern food in Anchorage! If you are from the east coast, Chicago area, Michigan, or any city with a big Arab population you know how much a good shawarma hits the spot. Now Anchorage gets to experience this deliciousness. This place just opened about 2 weeks ago, and it is located in the Russian Jacks Plaza next to the halal market. The owner used to serve her food out of the market, but decided it was time to open her very own restaurant. I spoke to the owner for a bit, and she is such a sweet lady. I hope this place is super successful! The menu is a mix of Arab and African cuisines, and there are a few tables inside so you can dine in. I just wanted something quick since I was stopping in to grab it to go after running errands. I ordered the lamb shawarma wrap, and 2 beef sambusa. The food was ready fairly quickly as the wrap is just assembled with shaved meat, and the sambusa was prepared earlier that day, and kept in a warmer. So this is definitely a good spot for lunch time rush. The shawarma was so flavorful, and inside the wrap was garlic sauce, lettuce, red onion & pepperoncini. The wrap itself was lavash, which is somewhat similar to a soft tortilla. The sambusa is very similar to an Indian samosa except it was filled with ground beef. The meat again was well seasoned, and the perfect amount of spice. I was also given a side of garlic sauce, and zhoug (a cilantro based hot sauce) for dipping. The owner kindly gave my son a piece of mandazi, which is a sweet fried bread. It's not overly sweet like a donut, but subtly sweet, and a tasty little treat. We both enjoyed it! The food here is very reasonably priced, and I cannot wait to come back to try more of the menu. If you have never given shawarma a try I would highly recommend it (its similar to a gyro or the Turkish doner). I will be back for a shawarma plate as well as some curries, and injera. This is a very welcomed addition to the Anchorage restaurant scene, and gives us a new ethnic option. read more

Very good food and very nice staff! Will be back to try other dishes but can recommend the mixed shawarma plate and naan!

Visiting from LA on work, 2nd time in Alaska and thank GOD I was in the mood for shawarma because this is the best I've ever had. Perfectly spiced, cute and clean little shop connected to the market. I would move here just to eat this everyday. Also can't forget the amazing woman behind the counter, even gave us a nice glass of tea to warm up that is ALSO the best tea I've ever had hahahaha love it! read more

I have been interested in trying this place since my African coworker has recommended it. (We talk about food a lot at work) The atmosphere is casual and its setup like a qudoba in the front of the house with a warming wells with various meats and toppings and a grill station on the back counter. There is also a back kitchen where the meats apre prepared as well as where they assemble the more intricate entrées. Today I went with intricate because well I tend to flirt with extravagance and like to be adventurous and extra. I ordered the Lamb Injera with no prior knowledge of what to expect. It sounded interesting and so I went with it. Not knowing what to expect I was caught off gaurd when an enormous try a food came out and was place before me. On a circular try the size of a medium pizza I was presented with, what I would later learn, an Ethiopian, Eritrean flatbread made with fermented batter. It was spongy and light with a soft pancake like texture. Atop the bread was the lamb two red stew like mounds of lentil and vegetables. Along with green salad and more injera that was rolled up. Initially I sat waiting for silverware when I realized the Injera was intended to be the vehicle with which I transported the food to my belly. Carefully I unwound aom bread and broke off a piece and gingerly scooped up some lamb and lentils. As I bit into the first bite the flavor combination was intoxicating. I thought I would be put off by the spongy texture of the bread but found the combination to be deliciously delightful. With the floodgates opened I tore into my meal with recklessness and abandon usually reserved for the privacy of my home dining table. But the delicious food wouldn't be denied. The stews offered two diffrent profiles one a more creamy tikka masala type and the other a less distinctive type curry. All of which did its part to elevate and accompany the lamb. My one warning is that as a petite Samoan (5'11 270 pounds) it was way too much food for one person. Either come with back up or be very very very hungry. I also ordered a lamb kebab wrap to go. Two hours after dinner I was ready to sample the Kebab (for the review of course) and relized I made a mistake. The flavor was still great 2 hours old. My stomach still full was groaning from the extra food but my mouth was still wanting to "taste" more of the wrap. It was a tortilla style wrap filled with lamb kebab lettuce tomatoes and pickles and a sauce. It also had two tubs of sauce on the side a green tangy spicy sauce and cool creamy mayonnaise type white sauce. They both were delicious with the kebab. The shocker to me was how the addition of pickles made for a nice tangy briny crunch in the wrap. My only regret is that I dont have enough space in my belly to try everything today! I'm excited to eat my way through that menu and hope to find new favorites. I just dont know what to try next! read more

Coming back for sure! The schwarmas are incredible, tasty meat bites in a flour tortilla wrapper and grilled to perfection. Served with a spicy green sauce and additional tahini sauce. Tried the lamb and beef. Both were great, but the lamb packed a flavorful punch and will be my go-to. Ambience is uber-casual, so I can see the appeal of ordering it for takeout or DoorDash. "Spicy tea" is a delicious creamy chai. Low frills and delicious. read more

Man oh man. Everything we had here was INCREDIBLE. We both got Shawarma plates (one chicken and one chicken/lamb combo) and a Sanbusa. Absolutely delicious. The kind of meal where you stuff your face and only stop to comment (multiple times) to each other about how good everything tastes. We also got a couple of the canned juice drinks that were so good! I can definitely see this spot being a regular stop in. Totally worth the drive across town. read more

This spot was so delicious, flavorful, and you can definitely taste the love in every bite! The customer service is also amazing! They are so nice and kind here! I really appreciate how cool the place looks as well, I think it's really cool how it's connected to a market right next door. read more

I cannot say enough about how much we loved our first visit. We ordered a few different dishes to get an idea of what we like and after we decided we liked almost everything! A very different experience, even with dishes that might seem familiar like chicken biryani. The staff was very helpful in picking things and answering any questions, we even had some Somalian tea shared with us that was truly tasty. The restaurant is located....inside? Adjacent? It connects with a grocery store, but has their own separate entrance and exit. There are some seats and tables, which are comfortable, but it's not a huge space, so I could see getting a table being hard, but it hasn't been for me yet. My favorite new Hole in the Wall restaurant. read more

This was my first time to Shawarma House and they out did themselves. The portions were huge and the flavor was solid.

This was our first time at this place and the guy behind the counter walked back to the kitchen once we entered. As we stood there waiting for service a customer walked up to the register to pay for his meal. He seemed to signal the employee from the kitchen to ring him out. The customer left his plates by the register which the worker took back to the kitchen. As we continued to wait patiently for service the worker didn't come back out to the front so we left with disappointment. read more

Delicious, flavorful food! All of the staff was so nice and thoughtful, and the food came out quickly. The shawarma plate is huge! Definitely enough for a couple meals, though the wonderful seasoning might make it hard to stop eating. It comes with a spicy sauce and a creamy sauce that both complemented the shawarma very well. I tried a middle eastern yogurt drink, it was like buttermilk or a mango lassi but just the lassi part. So excited to come back soon! read more
