Unassuming strip center location on Manchester west of 141. Order and pay at the counter and they'll bring the food to your table. I had the chicken shawarma sandwich combo, which came with fries, coleslaw, a side of picked carrots and sliced pickles and a drink for around $17. The drinks are canned, along with bottled water, and the sodas are mostly off brand (Sam's cola etc). Napkins are paper towels from the dispenser. The sandwich was good sized, fresh and hot, with a tzatziki sauce, and the fries were plentiful. Overall, an enjoyable meal, save for the drinks and "napkins". read more

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. read more

We got the beef and chicken shawarma in saj, and both were super flavorful -- but the beef really stole the show. Tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The fries were also great -- crispy and perfectly seasoned. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. Easy spot to recommend if you're craving shawarma. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Original Shawarma House - Chicken Shawarma Arabi - Mediterranean Near Me - Ballwin, Missouri

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 !! read more

I discovered the Original Shawarma House while picking up for a delivery, so I had my own delivery done in which I ordered the chicken shawarma with yellow rice, tabbouleh and baba gannoush. I had missed a good shawarma place and thought the chicken was seasoned very well along with the accompaniment of the rice. The portion size is generous for the price which kept me going for a day or two. The tabbouleh was very well done, fresh and flavorful. The baba gannoush I felt did not hit the mark as compared to other baba gannoush I have had, nonetheless that was more personal preference than anything as the quality was not diminished. If you're looking for good shawarma in the area, you don't have to look far with the Original Shawarma House! read more

Obviously, we get shawarma as takeout. The chicken shawarma is really just perfect in a sandwich. The fries are crispy and are perfectly seasoned, not just with salt. The falafel is also perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on inside with great flavor. You won't get better value for money. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Food, Service, and atmosphere is great!! If it wasn't so far from me, I'd eat them every day lol

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. read more

A new year, a new review! Out in about and found Original Shawarma House (OSH) in Ballwin, MO and excited to give them a try. Not very knowledgeable on shawarma but OSH provided a great experience for our visit. OSH has traditional shawarma ready for trimming as well as a variety of side dishes to complement whatever you order. After reviewing the menu we went with a Mixed grill plate of beef/lamb and chicken shawarma with your choice of spice or seasoned rice and a side of baba ghanoush and tabboulah. Both sides perfectly complimented the meal. We also ordered 2 chicken shawarma sandwiches which were loaded with chicken and toppings. Both were excellent and perfectly seasoned. Pita bread was very light and toasted another win! Seating is limited but can squeeze on or 2 parties of 8 but can be a challenge as OSH is very popular during the weekend, so plan ahead if you're planning a large group. Tables were serviced quickly and very clean. Again, great experience and looking forward to another visit soon. Give them a try, good food and reasonable prices. read more

Amazing food .. my go to for shawarma in the St Louis and metro region .. would highly recommend this place

Tried this place for the first time and we really enjoyed it! The woman working at the counter was very friendly and welcoming. We got the beef shawarma plate to go, and it came with a ton of rice and meat! The beef itself was a little greasy, but with the rice and sauces that come with it, the flavor was great! The spicy rice has a nice flavor to it without being too spicy. The tabbouleh and hummus was nice as well, a nice compliment to the beef and rice. Definitely want to come back and try the chicken some time as well! read more

I am so sad I just recently ate here because I've clearly been missing out! The shawarma wrap is DELISH. I bought a thing of hummus to-go and ate it all in 3 days. I'm a sucker for hummus and cannot stop thinking about it! I'll be back asap. The staff at the counter was so helpful in picking my sides and gave me good recommendation. The vibes aren't really there but the food is extremely good so who cares. read more

The best shawarma in the Midwest! It is hard to find more authentic arabi shawarma but this place is it. Everything was so delicious. We got the arayes shawarma and beef shawarma arabi along with loaded fries and tabouleh which is enough for at least 3 people. Portions are great (on the bigger side). As for our loaded fries, we did half red and half white sauce and half chicken and half beef. Pricing is good. Great option for a quicker meal and will definitely go again! They also have catering options and I know I'll be ordering platters as well! read more

Original Shawarma House is very close to both my barber and my dentist. It has been on my list to try since it opened, and I finally found an opportunity. I got a haircut right before lunchtime and was unencumbered by others who did not want to go there. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma sandwich in saj. You also have a choice of a pita or a tortilla. I highly recommend the saj. Pitas tend to be too much dry bread and I save my tortilla consumption for Mexican food. The fillings were rolled in the saj and grilled very nicely. I can't recite all of the ingredients that are included with the large load of chicken, but there were sour pickles and some sauce. This was delicious. I asked for some spicy sauce and received sambal oolek which really went well with it. I did not even need half of this, but I am not a huge eater, especially at lunch. It was great left over the next day. They offer beef as well. I was a little surprised that lamb was not included, which would be a good choice. I really look forward to returning. read more

If you want good shawarma in STL this is the place for you. This is one of my go to restaurants in the city. Food is amazing every time!

The Original Shawarma House opened recently and is located in a strip center on Manchester road in what I believe is technically Winchester. I stopped in on a weeknight because I wanted to try it. It's a fast casual situation. I ordered the Beef Shawarma Plate. There were lots of choices. My plate included the beef shawarma meat, spicy rice, tabbouleh, baba ghanouj, and 2 sauces. They brought the garlic sauce and what I think was the pomegranate sauce. The two best things here were the garlic sauce and the spicy rice. The shawarma was tasty but slightly dry. I'm sure I will go back and next time I would try different things. I'd get hummus instead of baba ghanouj and I'd try one of the other salads. There were a fair amount of people eating here. Always glad for new options in west county! Looking forward to the baklava as well! read more
