I know Almaza is known for their rotisserie chicken, but I chose to try their other dishes on this trip. Some may feel the prices are on the higher side, but honestly the prices are quite fair. Reason being is, there was enough food to feed two people. You can dine in or just order takeout, either choice you're going to have some good food. Kibbie- I liked these handheld Lebanese beef croquettes. The seasoning was good and it does come with some sauces, but I didn't need them. I was fine with how well the croquettes tasted alone Pastelillos- I loved these meat pies..I could eat these all day Mediterranean lamb plate- The bed of rice that comes with the dish, is totally different tasting that I have ever had. Manly because of the shaved almonds, and cinnamon. But by no means, do I have any complaints. The lamb pieces with this entree was a good compliment.

We ordered the falafel wrap, open chicken souvlaki, and a spinach pie. The spinach pie ended up being my favorite. It was loaded with chopped spinach & onions with a slight lemon flavor all in a light fluffy homemade dough. I could have eaten a couple of them! Maybe I will next time.The chicken in the souvlaki was seasoned nicely but was a bit dry. My husband seemed to really enjoy his falafel wrap. Service was good. Can't wait to go back & try a few more of their dishes. 2025-3

Don't expect any ambiance, it's just a place to get really delicious food on the run. The place lacks any decor but it is really clean. We ordered from a menu and the food is prepared in the back and brought to our table. On this day folks were ordering, then began chatting with other locals till their food was brought out. I heard the owner explain to another patron how all the Rachel locations are independently owned by the extended family. While we waited, we observed a healthy walk on trade for lunch takeout. My chicken shawarma pita was crammed full of tasty, thinly sliced chicken breast with pickles and a couple of French fries. My companion had a very delicious chicken rice bowl with a pita on the side. Every bit as good as any dish you'll find at Rachel's Mediterranean locations around Western New York.

Shawarma City is our fam's favorite shawarma joint in the 716. All of the food we have ordered from here has been excellent--absolutely BURSTING with so much authentic FLAVOR! Our recent order included a beef shawarma platter, a falafel platter, a chicken shawarma wrap combo with rice, and a kids chicken tenders meal. We ordered on DoorDash for pick-up. Shawarma City is in a small strip-mall'esque corner plaza with easy off-street parking. Our order was ready on time, with all of our dishes HOT and HUGE! I had the wrap, and it was BIG. Half of the wrap and half of the generous rice portion was perfectly filling. The chicken was juicy and spiced just right--I LOVE that warm, cinnamon'y slightly-sweet-and-smoky flavor! Our vegan daughter loved her falafel platter, which was a takeout box STUFFED with I think eight falafel done right--crisp on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. The hubbs beef shawarma platter was big, juicy, and oh so savory too. The hubbs is a man who rarely has leftovers, but with this big delicious box of food he met his leftovers-match. We all had leftovers for the next day. Our son is typically not an adventurous eater, so it's great that Shawarma City has a chicken tenders kids meal for the picky little ones. But it's not just a throw-away kids meal, the chicken is actually very crisp and tasty! On top of all of the food here being wonderful, the prices are very fair too, especially considering the size of the chow you receive. My wrap combo was under ten bucks. Platters are just over ten bucks. Kids meals are just five bucks. Very reasonable pricing all around. When we have another hankering for delicious shawarma food, Shawarma City will definitely be our pick again!

Although we we the first people there at 1pm for dine-in, there was a steady stream of take-out orders getting picked up, as well as other (mostly men) coming to dine. The chairs are wide and overstuffed, and the tables are just the right height. It's a, "have another bite" atmosphere. There are long prayers coming from the speakers. Even a non-Arabic speaker like me knows that, "Bismillah" doesn't rhyme! The better half's take on his kebab? "This is the best lamb I've ever had!". I thought the shwarma and fries were great, but the hummus served with warm pita, some fruity, green olive oil, and a sprinkling of sumac/ za'atar really knocked it out of the park. I was dipping my fries in it! We ended the meal with a long slice of pistachio backlava. Oh, so good!

I was sadly mistaken because the food was not at all to the level that it should have been at. I ordered the baba ganoush. which was fine, but seemed like it had been sitting out for a while. I also ordered the chicken tawook plate. First of all, I must say that this is not chicken breast, but it seemed like there were dark pieces as well as fat still on the chicken, which made for a worse taste. I made sure to ask before, but I don't know where the miscommunication happened. The chicken lacked flavor, but more importantly, it was not fully cooked and was squishy. I was able to take a photo because I was in a rush and the only parts of the chicken that I was able to eat were when I had to cut a piece off of cooked meat. I wish them nothing but the best, but the quality of food needs to get better for this to be edible because uncooked meat is very unsafe. That was very disappointed with my food and I wish I could've stayed back to speak to the owner, but he had left at the time. I have nothing more to say Also, this was not a cheap meal, so this makes for a worse experience, I hope the owner reaches out

Though I have tried shawarma many times, it was good to learn how they made it which seems like a very long and intense process. Food was still amazing and well worth it.
