    Hummus
    Diana G.

    This food truck has a limited menu, but there's a little bit for everyone. I had the falafel plate that comes with salad and rice. It comes with a few good pieces of falafel. The salad was a decent size with tomatoes, olives and the pickles.I did order the hummus with pita bread. Hummus was OK. The pita bread is definitely store-bought. II would definitely go back for more as they are close to my home and they were super quick at getting our order ready.

    The menu.

    Yummy food, great prices, great service! The garlic sauce is my favorite thing to dip my fries and sandwich into. I will be back.

    We stopped by this food truck at a gas station after seeing the great reviews, and it did not disappoint! The staff recommended the mix plate (chicken and beef shawarma with rice and salad), and it was sooo good. I got mine with no spice, which I really appreciated -- love that they offer that option. While we waited, they gave us complimentary chickpea falafels with tahini sauce, which were delicious. The portions are huge -- definitely shareable -- but I saved half for lunch the next day and it was just as good. We took it go because they have no seating, it would be better if they did, We'll definitely be back!

    1st time I received it via door dash. The crinkle cut fries were hot and crispy and the wrap was good. They are open 12-12 and a few days later I went again. They did not have the crinkle cut fries and the ones served were not as good as the first. Hope the next time is just as tasty.

    Food is delicious and ready quick! Service was great told him that it was my first time and made me a mixed platter if I'm not mistaken, he put in a little spice and it gives me a small taste of everything and is very good! If you're in a rush and tired of unhealthy fast food give your body a treat with this delicious and healthy food!

    I found this little truck on Yelp. It is almost none existent on Google maps. They are Jordanian. I ordered the beef shawarma, chicken shawarma and some falafel. I am Lebanese so automatically I asked for Arabic bread which they do have. The meat on both sandwiches is tender. This is the most legit shawarma I've gotten in town. I only wish the garlic sauce is stronger. Next time I would order a side of fries and ask them to add some to the chicken shawarma sandwich... this is how it is made traditionally. And extra pickles. This is the only tweaking I would do to say it is 100 percent legit! They are very welcoming though. Little language barrier we ended up speaking in Arabic. I liked the ambiance which made me feel right at home No place to eat.... I suggest eating it right away somewhere in the parking lot so it does not get soggy I will definitely be back even though it is a bit of a drive for me

    A food truck ran by two people. It is nearby the gasoline station. They have two chairs and one table available outside but technically it is a takeout or drive thru like of a food truck. The service was good, the owner (as it appears) helps you to navigate around the menu and give options. Waited probably for 10-20mins for our food to get ready. There are also fee people ahead of us. The food was really good, enjoyed every bite of it. You can taste the real shawarma taste. Had the Mixed Shawarma Plate and the Mix Sandwich Shawarma Arabi which comes with the sides. They are also reasonably priced with how much portion of food you are getting. Will surely go back to this place.

    The food is so good and if you've been to NY you already know . The staff is very friendly. I just wish they opened before 3 pm

    This food truck is located outside of a Chevron. They're open really late. There's a table with 4 chairs outside. There was a lot on the menu and everything is reasonably priced. We ordered 2 mixed shawarma sandwich and it came with fries. We paid $26 for both meals. The meat was lacking in flavor though. I asked for no tomatoes and was still given tomatos unfortunately. The fries were crispy but not seasoned. They gave us a lot of fries. I wouldn't try this place again unfortunately.

    Better late than never I guess. Craving for legitimacy and something nice, then I hit the spot! Fresh, tasty, and satisfactory on the go. Will be back for sure. (Thanks for the free ice cold bottled water OG) (First customer privilege lol)

    Chicken Shawarma Platter  Chicken Shawarma Arabic Style Falafel

    My husband and I have been coming to this place for over a year now. From our first visit, we tried the Potranco mix, falafel, and chicken Arabi style, and we've stuck to this order ever since! The mixed shawarma platter is also very good. The food never disappoints, always delicious, with generous portions that ensure we have leftovers for another meal. We don't eat out often, but when we do, Shawarma Alzaeem is always our top choice!

The pide bread has a nice crust and gave the satisfying crunch when you bite into it. I can eat just the bread alone. But as you bite the portion with the cheese and meat, wow!! It's awesome! All the grilled meats were very tasty. Usually chicken is the least tasty in Mediterranean grill but over here they really know what they were doing. Happy with our selections. Complimentary bread and dip is a plus. The dip is really good. Too bad the server couldn't tell the name of this dip, he just said it's house made. They can certainly create a name to avoid confusion. Service can be improved, thus 4 stars. 1. The store is open until 9pm but kitchen is closed at 8:15om. I see a few people got turned away because the sign said they were open but they can't take their order? What are people supposed to do if they come at 8:15 and get in? Have a drink? They have no alcohol license yet as of July 2026. I don't know if they have food that's microwaveable that can be served after 8:15. 2. They don't provide water unless you ask, they only have water bottle for $1 each. They could have said this when they take your order: "Anything to drink?" But they don't ask if you want anything to drink at all. I saw other tables also don't have a drink.

Our waitress was warm and extremely helpful. It was surprising. Let me explain why. I don't know if it's a cultural thing. I may be wrong, but a lot of middle eastern/Indian/Mediterranean restaurants we visit, the staff at times can seem cold and non engaging. You will see in a review for a place we recently visited how bad it was, later. I made a point to get the wonderful young ladies name, but I will not butcher it, but sound it out. Sa-va-ti. She was amazing. We started off our meal with some of the best hummus we've had in quite awhile. It was perfectly flavored and had great texture. We also started off with falafel, which we all love, but it was missing just a tad more spices. It was fried to an absolutely wonderful crisp. The pickled veggies that came along were a surprising table hit. They were very good. Then mains, we had the Kahramana Burger, and the Kahramana Mix Kabob plate. Let's start with the burger. It was different. Don't get me wrong, it was good different. It just took a minute to get over the beef patty having the consistency of meat loaf. Once we got over it, it was dam tasty. Good bun to meat ratio and a sauce like I've never had. This place also managed to cook great fries. Two places in a row for us! Makes me wonder what the other places in town are doing wrong? To the star of the star of the show. The mix kabob plate was AMAZING! Best lamb I've ever had anywhere. It was not too gamey, seasoned just right, and they got the medium cook on it spot on! I wish I had ordered just lamb. The beef skewer was also great, but the lamb stole the whole plate. The chicken was our least fav. It was a tad under seasoned and had a somewhat grainy texture. It was falling apart. The rice was good too! It came with a small hummus and this delicious garlic sauce! We were dipping the fries in it! Get this they still bring you all the bread you want! It's hard to explain the bread. It's like a pita/naan hybrid, and we couldn't get enough of it! We stopped our meal early, loaded up our to go boxes, so we could try the baklava. It's wasn't bad, we've had better. Check this out...they bring you complimentary Iraqi tea at the end of your meal? Or maybe it was just for us? Who knows? It's was perfect with the baklava! I can't even explain how excited we are to revisit and try other items! Bravo!
