We were in the area for my son's mountain bike race and needed dinner after a long day in the heat. Yelp saved the day again! In short, Shawarma Grill was insanely good! The staff were soooo polite and accommodating, they made us feel like we were family dining in their home. The plates were some of the Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food we have eaten. The portions were giant, but the quality was very high. We were given all the sauces to try -- garlic, tzatziki, spicy -- and I enjoyed all of them. I had beef shawarma and at my wife's chicken and both were juicy and flavorful. Sadly, we don't live nearby, but if you're reading this, I expect you pay them a visit! read more

New fave kabob spot!! Not only is the food so tasty here, the service was incredible. It felt so friendly and familiar. The restaurant has a fun Avengers theme, too! read more

let me start by saying I don't ever leave reviews but this place deserves its recognition!!! I've driven past this place sooooo many times over the last couple of years and unfortunately never had it until 2 days ago. omg. what a hidden gem!!!!!!!!!! this was the best greek food I have EVER had in my life!!!!!! one of the best meals of my life!!! I ordered the chicken shawarma plate.... wow. The chicken was cooked to perfection and the rice was so tasty. It was such a huge portion I could have definitely shared it (but I didn't because it was too good). the salad it came with was absolutely delicious as well as the hummus and pita bread which salad and hummus were also a pretty big portion. $23 for all of that amazing food is a killer deal. the owner is soooo nice as well as the young female cashier. I had to go back today because I literally dreamt about this meal. 100/10 read more

In my quest to keep trying new places, we finally made it to Shawarma Grill and wow. I really wish we came here sooner because it so delicious. The ambiance feels fun and authentic and not like it's trying to be anything it isn't. The smells when you walk in are pretty intoxicating and the extensive but concise menu gives you a great choice of options. We ordered the dolmas, chicken shawarma and gyro fries. Out of the two the chicken was my favorite as it was juicy and flavorful and just over a deliciously balanced shawarma. The fries were generously loaded and full of flavor. The green sauce it comes with is seriously spicy so watch out for that. The service was great and the worker behind the counter was so sweet. Her and the owner I believe, were great and just fun to be around. We are excited to come back and try more things! P.S. The Avengers art on the walls is an awesome touch if you know you know. read more

This review has been long overdue. I came here so many times and just realized that I have not written a review for this warm and comforting food place yet... SONG of the DAY to play along to this YELP REVIEW: We found love by Rihanna... Yellow rice is on the plates Now we're eating it side by side As your shawarma crosses mine What it takes to feed this body It's the way I'm eating, I just can't deny But I've gotta let you know We found love in a Shawarma Grill... CHICKEN KABOB PLATE: 10/10 I think the chicken is the star of the show. Just simply enjoyed it. DESSERTS: 9/10 The desserts by the cashier were good but, I think the price is a bit too high for desserts. SERVICE: A ok (very friendly but, business like) felt like I should purchase or ordered more. But it's really about consistency. If you have a customer that orders a lot but, only comes once a month verses a customer that comes almost everyday and orders a little. The customer that ordered a little but comes often is the best choice for your business so no need to push any big orders. PARKING: Plenty but, busy! ROCK ON SHAWARMA GRILL!!!! read more

My wife, brother, and I had the pleasure of dining at Sharma Grill, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. Khalid with his 53 years of kitchen experience, truly brings that depth of knowledge and passion into every dish--you can taste it. We tried the chicken and beef kebab, salad, and Gyro plate, and each bite was packed with flavor and freshness. The kebab was perfectly seasoned and tender, the salad crisp and refreshing, and the gyro was generous and delicious. The environment is warm and welcoming and the team are friendly. Khalid himself had small talk. You can tell he takes pride in both the food and the experience of his guests. I absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back again! Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for authentic, flavorful food made with care. read more

We were fortunate enough to come across this place because we were looking for any restaurant that was open on Christmas which served healthier fare. The restaurant is tucked in one of the many nondescript shopping centers which line Hwy 79. Parking was not an issue. We were greeted with warm hospitality in a family atmosphere. The food is delicious and left us feeling nourished. My husband and I split a veggie combo which came with falafel, tabouleh, hummus, dolmas, Greek salad, and a side of pita. Everything was perfect and the portion was more than enough for both of us to feel satisfied. In this day and age it is a rarity to get an affordable family meal that is healthy and freshly prepared as well. The real star of the meal was the red lentil soup. The savory flavor of the lentils are nicely balanced with notes of citrus. We found ourselves drinking the last bit of the soup from the bowl. It was that good! We wanted to try the golden bread, but they were sold out. The gentleman taking our order told us it's like a thick pita. Sounds delicious and I can't wait to try! Next time we are visiting family in the area we will be sure to come back. The inland empire is rich with so much good ethnic cuisine. If you are looking for healthy, filling, delicious, and affordable food don't sleep on this spot! Special shout out this place will be great for vegetarians and vegans as well! read more

Good quality meat and vegetables. The shawarma plate was plenty and tasty. The meat is Halal and the service was excellent. I love small hole in the wall restaurant/grills that's run by family. I would definitely come back and try the chicken plate and other dishes. read more

Impromptu lunch in Temecula, Shawarma grill delivered in every aspect. The owner was kind; friendly and offered the lunch special when I walked in. Everything on the lunch special was delicious ( I got a grilled chicken kebab and a huge plate of rice & salad) and since I was the only patron in the late afternoon, we conversed through my lunch. We shared our cultures, talked about his son, my puppy and he even asked questions about possibly rescuing a dog. Sure the food was fantastic, plentiful and affordable for a lunch special but the unexpected connection with another person is priceless. It's these moments I didn't know I would miss during lockdown back in 2020. read more

Really tasty food and nice people. I thought it was a chain but when we arrived it was very authentic and seemed like the owner runs the place and cooks with love. The lady working with him was super nice too. Greeted us when we arrived and kept tending to us. We had the gyro sandwich and the chicken shawarma plate. The plate was ginormous and super good. The salad, meat, rice and hummus were beautifully plated and tasted great. The pita and sauces were all delicious. Gyro was also great. We come this way on our drive from Palm desert to San Diego and will definitely be back here again! read more

Just ate here like 10 minutes ago and it was delicious! We got gyros wraps (huge portions) and the gyro was perfectly cooked. They also gave us extra tzatziki sauce, which I really appreciated. The owner is also very friendly and kind! read more

Absolutely the BEST Baba Ghonuj & the small order was huge!! Served with warm pita bread...it was the perfect appetizer & side dish! I ordered the gyros platter & my daughter had the special Kufta combo...both were plentiful & delicious! I must also say their hot sauces were fresh & added the perfect kick to the hummus! The Owner stopped by to chat & had some french fries brought over for my Gson! He was so nice & we complimented on how fresh everything was! I highly recommend this small business-owned place for Mediterranean foods! There's patio seating too! BTW I normally take pictures of the food & restaurant, but the Baba Ghonuj took over all my senses as I enjoyed every bite! read more

This is mainly a carry out spot although there are a few tables inside. Ordering was easy but it was disappointing to learn soup options were out of stock and the 1 we ordered was in no way lentil soup. The consistency was inconsistent . Thickness at the bottom and liquid on top. We had to reheat the soup and keep mixing to make it edible. Flavor was heavy salt and just ok. You might want to order ahead of pick up. We waited 25 minutes for our order. The food portions are mostly ample but the over abundance of rice to meat ratio is disappointing, especially for the prices. Salad accompanied most dishes as does hummus. The hummus and salad were the highlight to my chicken dish. read more

Seriously the best shawarma in the area! Had the chicken shawarma wrap and the beef shawarma wrap. The chicken is tasty, soft, and moist. The toum (garlic sauce) and the spicy sauce are both really good! The beef shawarma is very flavorful. It's a family run business and they are so friendly and cook with skill and a love of sharing the food of their culture with the community. Overall excellent flavors! Will be back to have their kufta kebobs and hummus. Definitely give them a try - will not disappoint! read more

I got the chicken shawarma ($17.99) to bring up to my hotel room at Pechanga nearby. It came with sides of hummus and salad. The salad had a nice olive oil dressing on it with plenty of sliced tomatoes and red onions. It came with warm pita bread on the side. The slices of chicken was moist and had a good amount of seasoning on it. The rice was soft and fluffy. The wait time was not long, the place was clean. They give a discount if you paid in cash. read more
