    Ordered carry out and service was quick and friendly. The hummus was very rich and creamy. Fries nice and crispy and chicken shawarma on point. I could have used a bit more garlic sauce and will ask for extra next time as the sandwich felt a tad dry. There was a steady stream of people in and out the door for carry out and DoorDash orders, also many people eating in, this place definitely stays busy.

    I love a good Shawarma and have been wanting to go to this place for a while. It definitely did not disappoint. Service was quick. I called in my order and the gentleman took my call was polite and when I arrived, they confirmed who I wasn't said it would be up shortly. After looking over the menu again, I asked if I could order some grape leaves I said no problem. Food was outstanding. The french fries were crispy on the outside fluffy on the inside and I am a french fry junkie! The Arayes is kind of like an Arab version of a quesadilla in my opinion, and it was very good. I went with the spicy version garlic sauce and it had a little kick- if you like that kind of thing- and I do! What really convinced me this place is legit were the grape leaves. Now first let say the best I've ever had are my mom's and when I see this item is on a menu I always get them! They almost always fall short of the mark- even When in high end restaurants! The guys here told me they were made in house after tasting them I would have to agree- they were pretty darn good and would order them again! You can't fake something like that. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and I will be back to try some of the other items.

    I usually ordered takeout here so I can't speak to their service. Previous orders were good. Yesterday, I ordered the mixed shawarma plate and beef shawarma arabi. Both of the chicken and beef were super dry to the point that hard to swallow.... Pistachio baklava was decent. Pretty disappointed!

    Best Shawarma I've had in the US. Great food. Good portions. Quick service. Highly recommended!

    This place has probably the best Shawarmas in St Louis . The sauce is out of this world. It's like thousands islands on a 1000. The crispiness of the wrap is unmatched. It was like biting into a great tasting grilled cheese sandwich. I got a beef and also a chicken. I'm partial to the beef but the chicken is just as great too. And the sandwich insides stayed for a nice while too Check them out !!

    Another terrific meal! Counter service was friendly, courteous, prompt and helpful. Food: - Chicken "original" shawarma in the Saj wrap, fries and drink lunch special (4.25/5): GET THIS! Fantastic flavor combo in the wrap. Saj wrap is perfect for this sandwich. Sauce, chicken, veggies, all worked together. Served with tasty pickled carrots and pickles. Slaw and fries were a bit average, but still tasted decent. Best shawarma in the area? Maybe.

    This restaurant is relative close to our house and we decided to try it on a whim. I've had shawarma a handful of times before so I was excited to try this place. For the price, you definitely get your money's worth! You get a giant portion of the protein you ordered, hummus, salad and pita bread. The food was brought out quick. For being located in a strip mall, this place was good. The cashier was friendly and made great recommendations. Everything was relatively clean and we will be back when we want something quick to eat!

    There are a few Shawarma places which I will drive 4 hours to reach, but this is one of them. Easy to find, in a good neighborhood flanked with residential and other worldly shopping opportunities, makes it a happy little corner of STL. We were greeted by cheerful fellas chopping fresh veggies next to chubby toddler sized cones of fresh meat happily spinning on a grill. The guy manning the counter grabbed samples of every single bread and sauce for us to make an educated decision as first-timers. We had the Arabic Shawarma in both chicken and beef. Both were phenomenal. They gave us additional sides and even more of their delicious sauces for dipping and enjoying. Super friendly staff and incredible food. Not much more needs to be said about this great place.
