    Pita and baba ganoush

    Best levantine restaurant in the HR. Wraps are to die for. Service is quick and friendly. I always look forward to stopping by whenever I'm in the area.

    Falafel.

    If you live around the area, there's a few decent shawarma spots here and there, but decent is where it usually stops. I don't claim to be an expert on Middle Eastern cuisine but Shawarma and Things has claimed their place as a great shawarma spot and completely blown by the competition. Every single item I've ordered has been nothing short of incredible. Flavorful and cooked to perfection, and they can keep you on your toes with their rotation of all manner of fresh desserts. Couple that with a very friendly staff and a clean, welcoming restaurant, you can tell this joint run with love. They claim the best shawarma on the East Coast, I haven't traveled enough to know if that's true, but I can confidently say it's the best in VA.

    Chicken kebab platter

    On a scale of 1 to 5 stars, this is a 10! We thought we were going to Tasty Kebab, but when we got here, it was Shawarma and Things, and the meal was outstanding. The chicken kebab platter was delicious. The chicken was perfectly grilled over fragrant basmati rice, and served with a lovely field green salad, hummus, Turkish style tzatziki, pickled vegetables and pita. You won't leave hungry! We thought Tasty Kebab was good, but this was even better, if that's possible. The place has been redecorated thoughtfully - still order at the counter, but the seating area has been seriously upgraded - very comfortable, and it feels more like a restaurant with upholstered booths. The guys who run the place are very nice, and they know what they're doing - introduce yourself and get to know them. You'll be glad you did!

    Great guy. Retired USN VETERAN

    Not a good quality meat. I don't recommend this place at all. It was too expensive and over rated.

    Reminds me of my 8 years in Saudi Arabia. Been looking for shawarma places that reminded me of my time there. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    The food here is good, the staff is friendly, and the restaurant is clean and well-lit…read more My husband and I stopped in to get a quick meal to-go. We were greeted by a helpful employee and the owner. They helped us decide what to order. We ordered the grilled chicken platter with a side of falafel. We made the mistake of not expressing that this meal was to-go. Another customer walked in after we ordered, placed his order (a wrap) and got his meal on a tray within 5 minutes. He ate in the restaurant and by the time he ate and left, our food still wasn't ready. It was only us and the customer that came in after us and ordered a wrap, so it wasn't busy. When we did get the food, it was tasty, hot, and tasted fresh. The food and the service was good, just express if you want to-go upfront and if you're eating in, prepare for the possibility of a wait. Update: We last went here a couple of months ago. We passed by on 6/22/25 and they are now permanently closed. Hate to see that! Hopefully they will be able to reopen at another location.

    I got Tasty Kebab for lunch. Its close to Lidl in the Janef Shopping Center. There was no one…read moreinside so i didn't have to wait. If you get a bowl its kinda Subway style so you just choose your toppings and you can watch it be made. The owner is really nice, she is always friendly when I come in. I got egg plant, cucumber, chicken , onions, sauces, and etc. At first I was disappointed at the amount of what she was scooping, but in the end it was a good amount and was filling. The bowl was tasty and I really enjoyed the eggplant. The garlic sauce and hummus was good as well. I'd definitely return. Check them out!!
