this is me and my husband go to spot for Shawarma, but before you leave, check your bag before you leave. They have forgotten condiments and forgotten to season our fries on a few occasions. For this last order they forgot my salad dressing and the seasoning on our fries and this lasted us two days but on the second day, it was mold on everything. I feel like that was a waste of money. they are good when they do things right read more

My fiancé just opened my eyes to this restaurant for the first time a couple weeks ago. WOW I have been missing SO much. We purchased the mixed shawarma and it is packed full of flavor! It honestly is one of the most delicious foods I've ever had. This location is super fast, the gentleman that work here are extremely friendly and they have certainly given me an experience to where I will continue to visit. I have been known to be called a picky eater but truly this place has opened my eyes to all the wonderful things I've been missing out on when it comes to food. Highly recommend this place! It will definitely leave you with a new addiction so good! read more

I ordered the combo for three and a sandwich. Only received a salad, bread and the sandwich. I was very tired after a long day at work. I had it delivered to the house. My wife received the order from UberEats. She called and told me about the items that were missing. I contacted UberEats about it. I quickly got my refund back. Very disappointed about my order. read more

Food is AMAZING. Order through doordash all the time. Could eat here everyday if I could.

I ordered dinner entrees. The so-called jumbo shrimp tasted cheap, like something you would buy from the grocery store. The chicken and beef were cut too small and lacked seasoning. I guess this restaurant is OK for sandwiches but definitely not dinner entrees. It's not authentic dishes.​ read more

So so so so good! I don't know why I'm so surprised but I had my favorite my second favorite and my third favorite and this place just wasn't on my radar for some reason! Thanks to DoorDash, it is now. It may in fact be my new favorite, for shawarma at least! The only thing I got from here was the Shwarma combo but it is banging! And the rice is even really good, excellent garlic sauce and the freshest bread. Everything was melt in your mouth good. I sincerely can't wait to try the rest of the menu but I am pretty particular about my middle eastern food and for the basics this place is excellent! read more

I actually really love this place. I ordered the mixed shawarma sandwich which is the beef and chicken mix and I have to say it was delicious and super filling. The price for the sandwich is a fantastic deal compared to other places and I find that it is more than plenty to eat. I have ordered it multiple times in the last month and every single time the sandwich comes out delicious. They will definitely continue to get my business. read more

Good food but someone should clean the inside of this place!! Just for that 1 reason i probably won't be returning

Ordered 2 chicken shawarmas, they were dripping wet with oil/grease. Absolutely disappointed threw them out.

Well to be fair the food is good and I usually get the feast for two. Which has a good assortment of chow more than enough to satisfy. But I also judge a establishment by how well they clean up, this place is nasty from what I seen last time I was there. Also a few other times it was just a little ruff and now is the time to review and things are looking better. The food has the same quality 7 out of 10. Not bad, for me and my dog. We ate well. As always I love the salad dressings, the pita was fresh and most likely made the same day. The restaurant has been around for awhile and as long as they keep cleaning I will keep coming. read more

I'm like the guys in the Snickers commercials...a bit of biach when I'm hungry..Driving home I needed to get something to each but not from the usual fast food type places...Shawarma Express presented a healthy alternative sandwich to the usual junk food... The building is well lighted from the inside and appears to be clean. It's your typical order station and then sit and wait place. As I have not been there before I let a woman behind me go ahead because I wanted to study the menu...maybe she didn't know how to read or was just being discourteous because she began to ask 1,001 questions..(no lady we do not all live in your world) so I had to wait...my fault for being nice. the cashiers fault for not asking if I knew what I wanted and get my order in and me out so they can meet the Express portion of my expectations. I placed my order for two sandwiches only. Shish Kafta and Meat Shawarma. I wanted the Shish Tawook but I was told it would take awhile so I changed my order. My wait was about 10-12 minutes. Not really express. when those who placed their orders after mine came and went I asked if mine was about ready...They said I have to wait...I really didn't want to get into it with them because I thought what's the point...I was told afterwards that the Kafta takes longer as it's cooked on Charcoal. Ok but I didn't get the Tawook because I didn't want to wait so why would I want to wait for the Kafta?!....Just a bad communication on the young girl taking orders...I think she was new and not very sure of everything yet.. As an apology for my wait I was given a free hummus from I think the owner.... I got home and the Meat Shawarma was excellent and the added garlic and pita bread they gave me with the hummus was just what the meal needed. I'll go back, but they need to work on the flow of taking orders and educating their clientele. If they continue to strive for customer satisfaction they will succeed. I'm glad for the extra effort and after eating I feel like myself again not that Snickers Biatch. 3.5 stars. read more

I ordered take out from this restaurant for the first time last night. The person who was making my food made a mistake on the order and immediately corrected it by making up a new batch. They were kind and seemed to be more heartbroken over the mistake than I was. Over-all the food we received was great, much better than the other middle-eastern restaurants surrounding it. I pass this restaurant almost twice a week and was a little afraid to try it due to the way it looks. The restaurant is VERY clean but has a very "cheap" set-up. Don't let the looks fool you, the food is great. On another note the garlic spread and hummus are fantastic as well. read more

Everything I have tried is delicious. The shish kafta and chicken shawarma are my favorite. The sandwich combos are cheap and come with so much food. It's the best shawarma in my area! read more

My fiancé and I ordered carry-out yesterday evening because we had been craving Middle Eastern food for awhile... Since it was Sunday, and most places were getting ready to close, Shawarma Express is open until 8pm on Sundays. I placed the order for 1 Chicken Shawarma Entrée with Rice and side Fattoush Salad, and 1 Shish Kafta Entrée with Rice and side Fattoush Salad. The side salads were great, dressing on the side so the salad didn't get soggy, it was a large portion for a side salad. We also ordered a small hummus. They did provide pita bread to go, in small individual bags. Our meals- It was OK? Chicken tasted really dry, with the spices and Middle Eastern flavors lacking.. The rice... tasted like white rice with garlic and spices.. did not taste like well cooked, middle eastern rice at all. We were really disappointed. It was $34 for 2 entrees and a small hummus which seems kind of pricy for the quality of food you're getting. read more

I'm not sure why there are any bad reviews here unless they were having a bad day or ppl are just seriously way too nit picky. I will start by saying that for a carryout type place i think it is excellent! We ordered the dinner for two. It took a little bit. About twenty minutes... but it was a ton of food!!!! It fed three of us and i still have plenty left over! I'm not sure if it was the owner but the cook gave my step daughter and order of baklava on the house and she was just thrilled! The food was delicious and plentiful. Cooked very well. We will definitely be back. Even My husband who typically doesn't care for middle eastern food was very happy! The workers were nice and very helpful. And they deliver just about anywhere. Seriously if you are not a miserable. Nitpicky person. Try here! You will not be disappointed esp if you love the garlic! read more

The large crushed lentil soup (their only choice, though what I would have likely chosen) was pretty good, and it was still hot when I got home. I also ordered a small tabouli, and asked for not a lot of juice. The top half of the tabouli was not too bad, but there was an eight of an inch of juice on the bottom, making me think it was pre-made and had been sitting in the fridge for some time, as opposed to having been made/scooped to order. Despite that, it was decent. What I really wasn`t happy about is spending $10+ and not getting any bread added - almost every other Mideastern restaurant in the area offered free, freshly-made, hot bread with an order. I was charged/paid 50 cents for on piece of stale pita bread, and ended up throwing most of it away. Bread is only included with their salads if you order meat with it... I can see (maybe) only including bread if requested, but charging a single piece is just cheap in my opinion. read more

First, let's give this place a deep cleaning! No more spot cleaning...the whole place top to bottom. We stayed to eat our food and the greasy finger prints, dried pop stains and sticky table tops....icky! Next, it was eh food. I personally won't be back. Flavors were very mild...mixed meat schwarma was dry....falafel was burnt.....fries. ..hardly warm and I ate them right there.....garlic sauce lacks garlic....definitely wasnt wowed. Finally. ..please dont lick your fingers if you are serving/boxing up food. Pretty big health issue along with hair not tied back. read more

For one the lady on the phone rude and just hung up on me and two the food was nasty and soggy we never ever order from here

I have to admit I was quite skeptical walking into this place. We ordered a bunch of different things ( hummus, salad, shish kafta) and it was all really good. The portions were huge so have an appetite when going here. Overall I though it was excellent and was glad we found this diamond in the rough. read more

Just placed large work order after they stopped in with menu's last week so we thought we would give a try today. Food was cold. The chicken was so hard and tough seemed like it was cooked several weeks ago. We threw the menu's in the garbage and will stick to our other local Lebanese for weekly carry out. Was hoping it was going to be good but was terrible. read more

Shawarma Express Eastpointe - No sauce with sauce and a non chewable piece of chicken. Went right to the garbage - Middle Eastern Near Me - Eastpointe, Michigan

When you walk in you can tell the decor was new. But it seems when something breaks they leave it. Broken pop machine . Broken menu signs and the dust and oil on everything including the hanging light pendants and even on the take out containers . This all should be a health code violation. I don't think the floor was ever washed. The staff seemed like they couldn't be bothered. The food was pretty good I'll say. But unfortunately we won't be back sad to say. You got to do better than this if you want your business to thrive. read more

The hummus is so creamy and delicious. The shawarma is always juicy and fresh and the service is always quick and polite. Highly recommend.

Have passed by this restaurant a hundred times and finally decided to give it a go. Upon entering there was a short line, nothing too long. While looking at the menu the woman cashier tried talking is into a $26 meal for two, not at all what we wanted. She was rude and seemed annoyed because we wanted to look over the menu. When we did order the wait was probably 15 minutes. The cooks kept reiterating our order, we specifically wanted no tomatoes on anything, not very hard. When we got our bag of food one of the prep employees apologized because he gave us a large salad instead of a small, which we were excited about, only to get home and realize there was no feta or chicken on the salad, something we paid an extra almost $5 for. The Chicken shwarmas we ordered were decent, but pretty dry. And the fattoush salad was just bland. Had to give it a try, but definitely not worth the money. read more

The sandwiches were good but they served me up with a 3 day old salad out of the cooler. I won't be returning. True negligence. read more

Shawarma Express Eastpointe - Yellow core, anyone? - Middle Eastern Near Me - Eastpointe, Michigan

good price and super nice staff however, if you don't like greasy food tell them to drain the meat before hand. Good if your in a rush tho.

First time here and I will never be back!! Reason being millions of flies everywhere, even the food. This place is nasty. I can't make this up. When I saw them, I asked for a refund and told them why. The cashier didn't apologize or anything. Surprised the Health Department hasn't shut them down!! Beware!! read more

The service was fast. That is where the positives ended for this place. The fattoush salad was prepackaged and the lettuce was turning yellow. I am very doubtful of this place and I can't say I will be returning. When it comes to veggies , you cannot serve week old lettuce or longer. I will Not be returning and I cannot recommend. read more

We had a really good experience here. We ordered a shawarma sandwich and a shish kabob dinner. They were busy, we took the last table and waited for our food. Considering the six orders ahead of us it came in a reasonable amount of time. My sandwich was nice and juicy. The beef was full of flavor and I really enjoyed it. The kabob was steak, mmm, served over rice with a nice serving of hummus and a side salad. The rice was cooked just right, not overcooked. The salad dressing was homemade and delicious. It's difficult to mess up hummus, for me I like it the consistency of pudding and it was on the runny side but that's me. It was still very good. The staff asked if we liked our food, that was nice. They explained that all the meat is cooked to order. (That would explain a previous review of long wait). It appears that business is picking up so that's probably a good idea to order ahead. The menu is basis, straightforward Lebanese food. They even have kibbee which I will order on my next visit. It's good to see an ethnic restaurant open and bring variety to the area. Definitely a solid close-by carryout but not a replacement for a sit down restaurant with lentil soup and hot bread. read more

See all

Not everyday do I crave a chicken shawarma, but when I do I automatically think of Shawarma Express!! Their quick service, good prices, and delicious Mediterranean goodness is outstanding!! Have yet to be disappointed and I doubt I ever will be read more

I order the chicken cream chops a it was just few salty frozen bag chicken strips chopped over some rice for $15.00...Man im done with this place read more

Just tried this for the first time last week. Awesome service, great food and fast! Had the chicken shawarma sandwich and rice with garlic sauce (as a dip) with pita bread or chips... ahhhhmazing. Been thinking about this place all week and about to go back for more now! read more

Hey all: I've been here a few times. Pretty good stuff! The "meat" schwarma is my "go to" meal. The lunch special is the best deal. You get your choice of meat (beef or chicken), rice or fries, and salad. I am a big eater, but it is a task to eat the lunch special. Frequently, I will only eat half of it for lunch and then eat the rest for snacks or dinner. Sometimes I get the fries, and you will get a TON of them. Salads are pretty good, especially the fatoosh. Service is usually pretty good. Only negatives is the parking and it is a bit run down. HOWEVER, if you want fresh food fast & cheap & tasty, this is the place to be. I recommend it. read more

The staff was upbeat, the timing was good, the portions very generous. The only complaint was the horrid parking lot.

Great, fresh food. Lots of options, vegetarian menu, great portions for the price. Short and sweet, It was great, i would recommend this place. read more

Came in for the first time today--never again. Ignored at the counter for over 5 minutes - no acknowledgement, no nothing while the lady was just standing there talking to the cook. As I waited, a young child was back and forth behind the counter where the grill and food is prepared. After looking around and noticing the lack of cleanliness, in addition to being ignored , I decided to leave. As I set the menu down and started walking out , she says "I'll take your order now" I said "no thanks" and left read more

The service here was not very good. It took almost 20 minutes to prepare 2 shawarmas and a salad. Nothing express about it. When it finally did arrive it wasn't very good, messy and the bread was too toasted. I was not impressed. I would have much rather driven downtown and had the shawarma that beats all the others. read more

Ordered the Chicken Shawarma sandwich and it was delicious! This will definitely be one of my regular lunch spots moving forward!

I was a customer two to three times a week when this place first opened up turning out myself burn out of it but it's not because the food is not good the food is awesome the service is great the only thing is they charge the same amount for the fries and then give you half the amount as they did when they first opened that's my only because I used to be able to buy one fry and my two kids could share it read more

Visited for first time yesterday for a chicken schwarma sandwich. Parking is horrible. It took 5 minutes for anyone to greet me or ask for my order and it wasn't crowded. Food was decent. Prices are decent. read more

Loved it. Quite a selection of vegetarian options. The lunch deals are great. The Fries are really awesome. Staff was friendly and helpful. Will definitely be getting our fill of shawarmas here. Garlic sauce was on point. I cannot say anything negative about this place. read more
