A good place to have some chicken shawarma and fresh battered fries. We waited less than 10 minutes for our order. It's in close proximity to the Science Museum, you can see it from their front window. I think they were updating their HVAC system so it was nice and cool inside the restaurant on a 90 degree afternoon. read more

My cousin couldn't stop raving about this place, so I finally gave it a try and wow. It completely blew me away. I ordered the falafel on pita, and it was incredible. The veggies were pickled perfectly, adding just the right tang, and the sauce was absolutely mouthwatering. I also tried the baba ghanoush. It wasn't quite my personal favorite, but the hummus was excellent. I added a pinch of salt to suit my taste, and you can tell everything is made fresh. What really sealed it for me was the service. The one time I went in to pick up my order, the owner was behind the counter preparing food and was genuinely warm and kind. That level of hospitality makes a difference. This has easily become one of my top five go to spots when I want something quick and delicious. read more

This place is almost located in a small little building, and looks a little like a hole in the wall spot but the food was amazing! I got the lamb and beef shawarma and it was some of the best shawarma meat I've ever had. It was moist, seasoned well, and still crispy. The staff were very friendly and made my order priority on the spot over the take out order which I appreciated. Overall a very good place that I will definitely come back to!

Great service and food! The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made sure everything was just right. The shawarma was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The portions were generous, and the overall experience was excellent. I'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend Scott's Shawarma to anyone looking for a delicious meal in Richmond! read more

My wife and I were looking at restaurants near th Science Museum. Scott's qualified and was open according to Yelp and reviews. Apparently you can only order online. The storefront is closed for renovations after flooding. Who knew! Poor job of someone not to notify potential customer's that they were closed. This was on June 10! Future customers, contact them to see if they are serving in the brick and mortar. I am disappointed that we were unable to try their food. Maybe someday when we are positive that they are open! read more

The food was incredible. I got the mix meat tray and husband got the chicken. All three meats were delicious. The "white" sauce was described as being like tzatziki - it has the feel of tzatziki but I'd describe it more as a creamy garlic sauce (still delicious). We both got tabouleh, it was fresh and tasted good although we agreed it could use just a little more flavor, maybe garlic or salt. Our total came to $41 but you do get a lot of meat. The food took a little while to come out but we suspect because they had several online orders ahead of us, plus it was worth the wait. Our only complaint is the pita does not appear to be made in house (we saw the premade pita's on the counter). Oh and the hummus was delicious, so fresh tasting. Highly recommend this restaurant and we'll be back to try more item! read more

Ordered lamb shawarma previously. I had the combo and it was huge! Def worth your money. The meat was tasty and prob better shared by two. The place is a tiny spot, a hole in the wall. But it's clean and homely. Service is friendly. Great quick bite while keeping you full all day. read more

chicken shawarma! love the spices and all the pickles. get it with all the sauces on lavash bread. idk how to describe the flavors but well spiced and seasoned. I prolly get this once a week! haven't tried he other things but this is good read more

Never fails ! The chicken shawarma is banging ! And the falafel is just as crispy as it is supposed to be. Reminds me of back home. My mother also loves their hummus and she's a hard Arab food critic to please. Whenever I'm feeling homesick I make sure to stop in. The ambiance, the Arabic music it amazing. read more

Scott's Shawarma - Chicken Shawarma with Greek Salad - Delis Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

Scott's Shawarma is a great spot! Near the Science Center, it's an easy spot to grab takeout (or sit inside at one of the few tables). Since Toast wasn't working, we called in our order. Sadly, most of our orders were wrong, but it still tasted good. The spice on the chicken pops! The tortilla that the sandwiches come in is excellent. I enjoyed my chicken shawarma sandwich with spicy garlic sauce, pickled cucumbers, lettuce, and onions. read more

The best part of the restaurant was the kibbeh, even though it was very deep-fried, but the spices in it were very good. We have the Shawarma platter with chicken and the tabouli was very tasty. The garlic sauce needed more of a punch. read more

We happened by this place while driving around Richmond. The food--we ordered chicken shwarma--was just ok. The pita seemed like it was from a supermarket, not baked in house, and it wasn't great. We also didn't care for the Palestinian propaganda on the walls. read more

Literally no better shawarma place in the city. Their burgers are absolutely top notch for the price too. Lovely wood lacquered tables, cozy interiors fit for the location, and very down to earth. I've literally only had exemplary positive interactions with the staff as a queer individual. You will not regret it! read more

So far amazing. We've gone twice since moving here. They're super efficient with getting our food ready & the food tastes great! Gotta manage to come during the day when the shawarma is available, the chicken is still just as good. Small shop, but super busy! Try your best to go in early to get the mix shawarma! read more

This is almost a hidden gem. The portions were generous, and the food was delicious. We ate inside, though the ambiance is more of a takeout situation. Despite that, the service was very friendly. read more

Exactly what we were craving - lots of food for an affordable price in an accessible area to where we were staying for the weekend in The Fan! I absolutely loved the pickled radish, pepper, and onion as a part of the Chicken Shwarma w/ Saj Bread - the perfect contrast to some otherwise super chicken drenched in a tangy sauce. Every bite felt like you were getting every flavor that was promised when I ordered. Generous helpings of everything on my girlfriends order and I could not get enough of the sauces that came with. Reliable for takeout any night of the week with quick service. read more

Holly smokes I am sorry I took so long to do this review. Even if the food had not been so fire I would have given a strong review just because of how awesome, patient, and welcoming the staff was. But, the food was FIRE! I will be back and I'll gladly make a 25 minute drive just for another taste. read more

I was visiting from out of town and wanted to treat my kids for dinner. my son has eaten at your location on 2nd street sev months ago and said it was great. So we ordered and picked it up. It was not cheap and we sat to eat. Those of us who got falafel were surprised how bad it was. Hard as a rock and dry. It looked close to burnt. Those who had chicken said it was so dry and flavorless. The rice was ok. All in all for 87 dollars most of us couldn't eat our meals. I wonder if it was a new chef or something. So unfortunate. I'm not someone who does reviews like this typically but felt it needed to be known. read more

There was only one employee managing the counter. There were lots of to go orders and some in person. He could tell I wasn't quite sure what I wanted and offered suggestions. I got the chicken shawarma sandwich on markuk bread and I asked him to put whatever he would recommend in it besides hot sauce. It was pretty good and hit the spot after a night out. It was drier than I expected so next time I'd ask for extra white sauce. read more

Delicious food and pleasant service. Definitely plan to go back as many items looked like they would be tasty.

The best Arabic customer service! These 2 owners brought to Richmond the authentic 100% Shawarma from Palestine that I used to experience back in the middle east. There is currently no other shawarma spot within 150 miles making this an amazing stop for anyone who craves some authentic shawarma, non of that Gyro stuff. It's Meat + Pickles + sauce in a Saj bread like it should be. read more

I'm so glad Scott's Shawarma moved even closer to me because I was meaning to try them for a minute and then read they were moving to a new location on N. Robinson St. OMG, the food is phenomenal! Tender and well-seasoned shawarma and oh so plentiful. One thing that also stands out is their little side salad there. They let you add pickled turnips, pickled cucumbers onion tomatoes and cabbage to the lettuce, which makes an amazing salad. The hummus is amazing and I highly recommend adding the spicy garlic sauce, hot sauce and their signature white sauce to your meats! Not to mention, I really appreciate how much love goes into preparing a to-go order here. They don't throw the food in there all haphazardly and send you on your way. It is done with a meticulousness I can appreciate. The food is just delicious. Just run over there hungry, I beg of you. One of the yummiest restaurants in Richmond that we are sure lucky to have! read more

Scott's Shawarma - Lamb and beef shawarma - Delis Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

We came here searching for middle eastern food in Virginia. And this review I have really been thinking about for sometime. We found this place by accident. The place was mixed inside a convenience store. We met the owner, who was very nice. He asked me if it were my first time and then started to give me chicken samples and a falafel sample. We started talking on how there wasn't a big middle eastern crowd in Richmond and that he originally used to work in NYC. He told me everything was made in house. This made me excited as I love homemade stuff. We ordered a hummus, baba ganoush, white sauce, tahini, garlic sauce, chicken as they had no beef or lamb and a falafel. The hummus was good. Best I ever had no. But a solid good hummus. The baba ganoush also was good. White sauce was good. The tahini was a stronger tahini sauce which I liked. The garlic sauce which he told me he likes a thinner sauce was good but not too strong. I like the whipped thicker version honestly but it was good either way. I probably would not get it again. The chicken was good but a bit dry. The falafel was very good. The hot sauce burnt my tongue and taste buds at first so I didn't taste the garlic sauce right away and told him we never got one. Ooops. My wife also got the flat bread. Manuka or something like that. The tabouli was also a bit bland. As I like it more citrus. But to each it's own. Overall, not the best place I've eaten middle eastern food. However, for a place where most people don't know about it, it was good. Guys that work there are friendly. I'd give it a solid 4.5 score. read more

I am at a loss for words.. this place was amazing! My boyfriend and I have been looking for a place that serves good shawarma and haven't found any yet in rva. However, this place surprised me! We found this place after driving by and decided to try it out. The chicken shawarma and the beef & lamb platter were so flavorful! I found the chicken shawarma to be my favorite out of the two. My boyfriend said it was the best shawarma he's ever had from the U.S. The owner was also very nice and the service was super fast! Definitely would recommend this place and will probably be back tomorrow!! read more

I ordered the mix shawarma plate. It came with beef and chicken shawarma, flavored rice, veggies and hummus. The meat was covered with white sauce and hot sauce. The dish was flavorful and delicious.

Service was excellent. 10 out of 10. The sandwich, on the other hand, was dry and unfortunately had way more salad inside than chicken. Hopefully, with a few tweaks next time, like extra meat and garlic sauce, it'll be a better experience. read more

Scott's Shawarma - Chicken Chicken Kabab Platter over Rice - Delis Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I happened upon the Exxon Gas station on Glenside Drive one day and have been coming back for food instead of gas:) THIS FOOD IS very good. I am here for lunch today having a lamb Kebab and Falafel bites -6 piece. The place is inside the station on the left just past the a slot machines. Yes people- you heard me- SLOT machines. Not Vegas or MGM, but people are here playing them. I love a good dive!! Although this review may be posting on their other eatery- his one is inside the Exxon Mobile Station on Glenside by VACredit Union across the street from the Hampton Inn, high is next door to Crunch and the Mission BBQ plaza!! read more

Scott's Shawarma - The Menu - yummy - Delis Near Me - Richmond, Virginia

I wanted to like this place but the chicken kabob was dry, the rice was super dry too, and it's extra too add on things like hummus that should come with the platter. The price just isn't worth what we were served. The salad was super tasty and was the best part. The chicken shawarma was a lot better than the kabob, so maybe I ordered the wrong thing. The pitas aren't baked there, they came from a bag and were dry and tasteless and the fries were undercooked. read more

Do yourself a favor and eat here. More than once. I had the falafel platter over rice with a side of baba ghanoush and spicy garlic sauce. 1) the serving was bountiful. 2) I have never had rice this fluffy and flavorful 3) The falafel was crispy and delicious- dipped in the house made spicy garlic sauce made them extraordinary 4) the side salad and hummus that came with the plate offered the perfect balance of complementing textures and flavors. The only thing I have to complain about here is my belly not being big enough to eat the entire meal. Oh well, that just means I have a tasty treat for later on. parking and seating are limited but you will find yourself not caring if you have to wait. Just do it. read more

Hands down the best shawarma in Richmond. I've tried plenty of spots, but nothing comes close to Scott's for authenticity and flavor. The portions are insanely generous, and yep--everything's halal read more
