    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! Food(50%): 8.6 Staff/service(25%): 8.5 Value(25%): 8.0 Overall: 8.4/10

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I've always loved the food from Scott's but glad to have this new location. Food is hot and fresh and ready quickly when ordered online.

    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.

    Amazing chicken and beef shawarma, that tasted authentic and fresh. Friendly staff members made the atmosphere very pleasant and positive and the service was very quick! 10/10 would recommend to a friend!

    Super quick pick up! Pretty good! Wish pita came on the side. At first I was shocked it was so expensive, I paid $16 for my platter, but honestly it's so much food I probably will make 3 meals out of it

    Chicken Shawarma Sandwich on Markuk

    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.

    Mediocre chicken, not good hummus, grocery store bought pitas, but I prefer my food without a side of support for Palestinian terrorism.

    I ordered the wings. Not what I expected. The picture is misleading. The wings were battered and fried and sprinkled with buffalo sauce.

Cocktails were great and served in a proper glass. Draft beer was cold and crisp. Hummus was unique, although the pita was not so great. The grilled items were delicious and the whole stuffed tilapia was spiced perfectly. Don't miss the donuts for dessert! Oh and Courtney is amazing and the pace of the meal was epic!

    I loved coming to Memi's with my mom. We are Libyan, so it's nice finding more North African places…read morein Richmond. Memi's is a beautiful shoutout to Egyptian dishes. I loved seeing some classic staples here too. The owner is beyond kind and sweet. She is so passionate about what she does here, we loved meeting her. Here is what we tried: Mulukhiyah with Chicken: What an iconic Egyptian soup! How cool to find it in Richmond too. It was really good. The chicken wasn't for us, but the soup was just right. Lamb shank: While the spices and flavors were all right, I think the lamb itself was a bit off for us. This could've just been the night we went. Koshari: My mom's favorite dish of the evening. Something you can't find easily in Richmond either, this was really nice. Kunefa: We finished our evening with dessert, and it was a little overcooked for us. I adored the heart shape. They have a lot of yummy things on their menu. The service was great here too. I am excited to return to try more.
