Went with a couple of my friends and the food was pretty good. The cashier there who took our orders and brought us our food was also nice and gave us good service, I believe his name was Azeez but overall pretty good i'd visit again. read more

The food is always very flavorful, with a perfect balance of meat, vegetables, and spices - everything tastes fresh and well-seasoned. Portions are very generous, so you definitely get great value for the price. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, the place is clean, and the atmosphere is warm and comfortable. P.S. The kofta kebab and the chicken shawarma bowl are my favorites! :) read more

Man, I really wanted to like this place but the competition for shawarma is pretty stiff in Plano so it's gotta be good to be memorable. The beef was super dry and we threw away most of ours. The baklava was a joke - I can't even believe they call it baklava. If you drive 3 minutes down Spring Creek, try the baklava at Pita Town - hands down the best I've ever had. Also, this place doesn't provide water cups, so you have a buy bottled water.... read more

I dig it. Didn't think it could get better than the kebab shop but this place hits. But if they keep raising their prices and I'll just stick to the kebab shop lol, the wraps are way bigger there atleast. I'm trading quantity and price for this. But the shawarma here is better for sure. Clean, spacious establishment and quick service. Highly recommend for your shawarma fix! read more

It was an ok shawarma restaurant in Plano. I ordered the shawarma beef saj, which I forgot to take a picture of, and it was alright. The beef was kind of dry and didn't seem to have a lot of flavor, and there was parsley in the sandwich, which I don't like the taste of, but that's personal preference. There weren't a lot of other vegetables in the sandwich. I don't think it's a filling meal, unless you eat little, but I could've eaten more, and I'm a 5'4" female. There's a lot of seating available inside, very clean, and spacious. The worker was really polite and accommodating. I didn't tip bc I thought we had to pick up our food from the counter, but he brought it to us, so I feel really bad. TL;DR: Workers are very friendly and restaurant is clean and spacious, but the beef shawarma sandwich was a bit dry and flavorless. read more

Original Shawarma is our goto spot for chicken shawarma in this area. The Chicken Arabi with fries ($12.99) is our absolute favorite. Also tried the chicken shawarma bowl ($12.99) with rice, lettuce, olives, and jalapeños, great option if you want something filling. The regular chicken shawarma ($8.99) is solid too. Well maintained dine-in space, quick service, and they also have outdoor seating. Highly recommended if you're craving good shawarma in the Plano area. read more

Original Shawarma - Beef Beef Shawarma Volcano and Beef Shawarma Arabi - Mediterranean Near Me - Plano, Texas

I had their chicken shawarma on saj bread and loved it! The bread was crispy and the shawarma itself was incredibly saucy. Fries were great as well. I was very confused by the corn in the slaw, can't say I've had that at other shawarma places. Definitely go give this place a try! read more

Original Shawarma - Chicken Shawarma on Saj bread Al Arabi style - Mediterranean Near Me - Plano, Texas

The shawarma is very classic. You can get it with Saj (really thin bread wrap), with Arabic pita, or with hoagie bread. I chose the Arabic pita and it was quite thin and made for a great wrap. It was easy to tear the paper wrapper at the top and pull it down to access the next bite. The beef was cut thin and had a great ratio of tahini/garlic sauce mixed in so it was noticeable with each bite. There were a few onion slivers too, but nothing else. I got a combo meal with french fries and a soda. The fries were crinkle style and had a little bit of spices tapped on top. They were fine, but I would have preferred my fries without any seasoning because I have to cut down on salt and most seasoning mixes have salt included unfortunately. A side container of the tahini/garlic mix was provided, but my sandwich didn't need it and I didn't like my fries without any seasoning it. Each table had a ketchup bottle. Mine was empty, so I nabbed one from a neighbor table. The top of the container was a mess with ketchup all over. Not appealing, but I rolled with the punches and squeezed some out on my butcher paper placemat for dipping my fries. They have a choice of the Mexican Coca Cola or the US ones. The Mexican cola comes in glass bottles. They automatically served me a can Coca Cola. I would have been fine with either choice, but frankly I wasn't asked my preference. The place is casual and relaxing with nice, comfortable seating. It is nice enough to come and hangout for a meal with friends or family. Nicer than a lot of fast food places. It's a bit of a drive for me, so I doubt I'll be back, but it is a nice option for a quick lunch or dinner if you happen to be in the area. read more

Yes!!!! So great, I came twice in 2 days! This is the flavor & style Shawarma that I've been longing for. Since moving to Dallas a few years ago, I'd tried many shawarma & gyro places looking for the cuisine similar to that in the Seattle area, a restaurant there had the most amazing garlic sauce. (It was called garlic crush, and I dream of it) Well I've finally found a place that does this same type of garlic sauce. And the lamb/beef, hummus, the lentil soup, it's all really authentic and packed with flavor. I love it here! It tastes amazing and the staff is super kind and welcoming too. So far I've had the soup, hummus with meat, and chicken shawarma platter. The whole family loved it. Perfect for dine in or takeout. Not like those other low quality places. This is the real thing. Yay! read more

Original Shawarma - This is the hummus and meat appetizer. Served with pita. Delicious! - Mediterranean Near Me - Plano, Texas

Love this new shawarma spot in plano! You gotta try the chicken shawarma sandwich!! Super flavorful and full of chicken and garlic sauce yumm!! The fries also add a nice touch. We also enjoyed the koobideh plate that comes with side of soup or salad so we got the lentil soup and tasted perfection with the pita chips. They don't cheap out on the garlic sauce which is how every place should be instead of always charging extra. The owner is super friendly and the servers were bringing food and cleaning inna timely manner. It's a casual spot with plastic utensils so nothing fancy but the seating was super comfy and decor was cute! I'll def be back soon! read more

Food it's great but service it's horrible the Cashier has a very bad temper she should be remove from there gives the business a very bad experience read more

The food is awesome the ambiance is cool! I would give more stars but the fact that they don't have free water concerns me? You have to buy bottled water...eventhough they have a fountain station the water line is not available? In AZ you cannot deny water so it is just weird! I would recommend it if you're not worried about just wanting water! read more

Amazing Shawarma. I loved the chicken the most. The staff were very welcoming and appreciated the service

The food is top-tier. The Shawarma is seasoned to perfection. I always get the chicken Arabi style and they always give me the perfect amount of fries the perfect amount of chicken and the perfect amount of flavors 10 out of 10. It's so lovely everyone there is very kind. I can't stop coming back to this place, I don't wanna eat any other Shawarma, this my spot!! read more

Original Shawarma - Chicken Shawarma Arabi - Mediterranean Near Me - Plano, Texas

Easy 5 stars. This place has without a doubt the best falafel in all of DFW! Absolutely fantastic. From scratch and authentic. The real thing! The mixed platter is also pretty pretty delicious. They do put this spicy chili paste inside the pita bread that comes with the mixed platter that takes it from great to amazing! When I picked up my order, the actually got some of it wrong. When I pointed it out they were so graciously apologetic and sent me home with some free baklava and salad. A very nice touch from a very lovely staff. Can't wait to come back. read more

I rate this place as maybe 2 but hubs gives a 3. We ordered a gyro and bowl. Service is pretty good. Pretty nice atmosphere too. Nice light decor. My food was very plain and dry. All I could taste was meat and bread. No seasoning or flavor. And with each bite, I wished I had water. The bowl was bigger than we thought. Hubs liked the rice and salad part but chicken was a bit dry. Hubs liked it until the chicken. Had a bite of mine and realized why I gave it a 2. Soulard is WAAAAAAAY better than this place. So far, no gyro has compared to them. And Soulard is very new, less than a year old. Personally, I don't plan to come back. They really need to improve on the food. read more

Food was good. They charge a 10% dining fee, which is absurd. Force you to buy water bottle with no other drinking water.

This was my family's first visit to Original Shawarma. The food was very tasty. After ordering, the food was delivered quickly and the perfect temperature. My favorite was the Kibbeh was a perfect blend of beef, nuts, and spices served with a garlic dipping sauce. I followed it his appetizer with the Kafta Kabab plate - lots of very tasty meat, rice, and salad. I will return to sample other items from the menu. read more

Food was very good and Authentic. We tried a variety including Beef Shwarma, chicken Schwarma, falafel, hummus, babaghanoush, fries, baklava. Yes, a mini feast. It was all very tasty. Will return read more

Food, Service, and Ambiance are all on point. This was our second visit. Mom and I loved it so much during soft opening that we decided to come back for lunch today. We were the first patrons shortly after opening at 11AM and kindly greeted with a smile by Mostafa and Ibrahim upon entering. On this visit, we ordered Falafel (the best I have found in DFW imo) and shared the Chicken Shawarma Bowl and Kafta Kabab Plate. Both the Chicken and Kababs were perfect in texture, temperature, balance of flavors and continued until the very last bite. The briney-ness and fermented taste of the pickles contrasted very well with and complemented the rice, salad, pita, and hummus. The Lentil Soup was perfectly creamy, well-seasoned, and satisfying to the palate. We knew we would be boxing the remainder to take home well before we ordered, so it was to be expected. The portions here are more than generous and the prices are reasonable and well in line with what we would feel comfortable paying without compromising on quality. Not only is the meat Halal; it is moist and flavorful and gives me vibes reminiscent of my Middle East childhood. IYKYK. Mostafa and Ibrahim also gave us some hummus and pita on the house which was divine. We have lived in the DFW Area for 23 years and honestly haven't experienced anything that has come close to Original Shawarma. We have added this place to our list of restaurant rotations and will be regulars here going forward. read more

We certainly didn't have the positive experience others had. Falafels were good, rest of the food we tried was below average compared to others serving up the same food. Ordered takeout which was challenging because they don't have an online menu that describes the items. No idea what the $14 chicken shawarma volcano was but ordered it... basically a shawarma quesadilla with only chicken and cheese, and tasted really strange and not good. . The hummus with beef was served with no pita no veg nothing to eat it with. The restaurant was packed. I stood at the counter for ten minutes before someone became free enough to hand me my order that had been sitting there just feet away. read more

I am a very difficult person to please with shawarma. I eaten it almost daily while in school living in Middle East. So is this the same? No it's not, it's upgraded version :-) It was delicious. Babaganoush meh, tasteless, would order it again. Lamb kebab was good, wish it was presented on skewers, just me. But Shawarma is great in fact I am craving it right now lol Inside is simple but pleasant, it feel like a join that you don't come to for a long time but a good time :-) read more

Chicken shawarma bowl is a big portion for one. Meat is tender and salad is pretty fresh. Overall it's a good dish. The restaurant doesn't have free water from the machine which is a bit disappointing. read more

Original Shawarma - Chicken bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - Plano, Texas

I am picky when it comes to shawarma, especially because people can overcook the chicken and it can become dry. This place made sure the chicken was moist, fresh, and the meals were saucy enough. I rate this place a 10/10 truly. Ambiance: the interior was nice with nice decoration. It was clean and it's enough space for families. Service: the employees were nice and the food came quickly. Food: Chicken Shawarma Arabi: 9/10. It is a very safe option for everyone. It tasted nice and the chicken absorbed the sauce beautifully. It also came with fries and extra sauce. The fries were seasoned very well. Chicken rocket sandwich: 8/10. I liked this item a lot. The bread on the outside was toasted very well but it wasn't too hard. The inside was the same shawarma, very nice and juicy. It had a little bit too much garlic sauce in it, so you can scrape it out yourself if it's too much. It was still a very good sandwich and I would get it again. Chicken shawarma volcano: 10+/10. Now this one was the best in my opinion. It's basically like a chicken shawarma quesadilla but way better. It had melted cheese inside. It came with garlic sauce on the side and if you dip it in the flavors in your mouth will explode. It's also super easy to eat and a great option for kids and adults alike. They say it's "spicy" (it's not really spicy, but it added more flavor which is perfect). I crave this everyday. Lentil Soup: this is a good lentil soup. Blended well and it felt nice eating it during the winter time. Kafta Plate: 8/10. The kafta plate was good as well. It was better than average, because I have had some kafta that were not good. This was moist, cooked very well. The rice had a specific spice flavor which I personally dont my enjoy, but I know everyone usually likes. The bread the plate came with had a spicy filling which was really good. Price: the total for 4 things came around $65. It's a pretty good average price and everything came with fries too. 5 people went to eat and we had leftovers so we could've gotten 3 things instead of 4. Overall, I really recommend this shawarma place. read more

Disorganized and poor management. We had horrible experience during Ramadan. We got there 30 min early to order our food. It was not crowded when we got there. We were with another couple and we both ordered Mixed Grill which comes with 3 kabobs - chicken, Kafta, and beef. We ordered at same time. We were order #50 and other couple was order #49. Other couple got their food in time for Iftar, but missing the Kafta kabob! We waited and waited. They were serving everyone else and serving order numbers in 60s and we had no food. By this time it was 20 min past iftar and 45 min since we ordered. So I went up to ask for refund. The guy supervising and cook insisted our order was coming. He said our order took long because the chicken kabob takes a long time to cook. I told him other couple we were with had chicken kabob as well and he insisted they did not! The right thing for management to do at that point was to apologize, admit they had accidentally skipped our order, offer us a refund and the food. Instead they insisted order was almost ready. Food came. It was ok. We also had a shawarma sandwich which lacked veggies and sauce in the sandwich. Meat and bread are good but the sandwich is dry so I had to put sone salad and tartur on the sandwich. My husband could not eat it. They also need to stop using ultra thin cheap paper plates and flimsy plastic wear. (BTW - when order finally came we did not have firm or knife to eat it and had to go ask for it). It was difficult to eat the salad on such a thin plate and either cheap plastic flimsy fork. McDonald's uses better forks read more

The best meal I've had in a while. After a long day at work, I decided to try this place after seeing all the positive reviews and it more than delivered. The chicken was so juicy and well seasoned, and I don't know what was in between the bread but damn it was amazing. It seemed a bit expensive at first, but the portion size was absolutely justified for the price, and I was left extremely satisfied (there was nothing left on the plate). Lastly, all the workers were super friendly and the atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice. I'm so happy I found this hidden gem and definitely will be back soon. read more

Habibi!!!!! Mind blown I am an indian, who visited this place casually with no real intentions of eating anything because i am not hungry. Their setup of grill behind the counters seduced me to try it. TRUST ME this place is best in texas dawg!!! PERIOD!!! Their chicken shawrma literally got me goosebumps. My shawrma place is madina grill where i have to travel 15miles from frisco to richardson, I tried bunch of stores here like shawarma place, gyro places but none of those are upto mark. What made these people unique?!!! 1. Their tender and barbeque flavoured chicken and its texture. 2. Their portion is a full meal no space for second item to be ordered worth your penny, they include potato fries but not actual fries, each piece is like a 1/4 of potato not deep fried but tastes good. 3. Their sauce tastes perfect not so special but does the job. 4. Affordable price not argueable serves the purpose. 5. Their attitude!! I see mediterian people kinda carry attitude but these are welcoming, ambience was okay not so great CAN EAT AT PLACE. read more
