    baba ganoush, Chicken Shawarma, Baklava and a beautiful chocolate dessert sprinkled with coconut flakes made by his wife! Delicious!

    I found a new and great place to eat! The food was delicious and the hospitality made me feel like I was back home. The owner( Big Bronx) and his wife are beautiful! Will definitely recommend 10 out of 10

    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.

    It goes without saying, this place is the best Shawarma and falafel place in the Hampton Road area so far!

    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.

Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and authentic, and you can watch it being prepared in the open kitchen. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meal, and there were no complaints about the food at all. What made the experience a little strange was the service. During our visit, the owner was noticeably short with the one and only server and spoke to her in a way that felt belittling, especially in front of customers. It was uncomfortable to watch. At the same time, the waitress asked us to leave her tip in cash or through Cash App before we had even received our food. That felt a little unusual and off-putting, as though we were being steered toward a specific way of tipping before any service had really happened. She had also mentioned that a birthday treat was coming out, but after we waited for a bit, she came back and told us the owner was upset with her and wasn't sending it out after all. That was odd and left us a little confused. Overall, it was a weird experience from a service standpoint, but the food was genuinely excellent. If you're going for authentic gyros and Mediterranean food, it's worth a visit. Just be prepared that the atmosphere may be a little unpredictable.

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.

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!!

You're greeted at the entrance with a doorway strewned with greeneries and faux flowers that give you a serene and welcoming vibe. The walls had the warm wood grooved panels which give a rich vibe. And not to mention the plush velvety cushiony chairs! The music was playing, I found out it's a dance remix by DJ Slob - if you're into international dance music, Charlie's is the place to listen to hip dance tunes. Food is definitely 5 stars. One telling sign is that when I came in, they were busy packing a large lunch catering order. The gentleman even said he ordered for his office and that he wanted his office mates to try the food...good food just flows as word of mouth. I ordered the Moroccan cigars (ground beef wrapped in egg roll) which was large single serving enough for lunch for sure. It was delicious, the two sauces were great condiments. Everything on their menu sounded delicious, I will definitely come back to try the Shakshouka and the platters. Service was a 5 - oh it can easily be a 10! Cold water is served in a self-serve bottle/carafe. I asked whether they have desserts and Yugev said yes. He then came out with (on the house, don't be jealous now lol) their version of strawberry shortcake. Remember no dairy and yet it was absolutely delicious. I could have licked the jar clean! I met the wonderful, friendly, very personable owner Yugev. He talks about his restaurant with that passion of a business owner who wants to do well for the community as well - he has transformed the back patio into a nice dining area with a bar area soon to be fully serving and functional. What an absolutely perfect experience. Believe the reviews, come to try Charlie's Middle Eastern Cuisine!
