Literally the best Gyro pita I've ever had excellent cuisine, generous portion, artistically presented on a plate. Best customer service, they couldn't have been nicer. I could not have been happier.

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.

I love this place! My favorite place to get mediterranean food without having to be waited on. The food is always fresh and on point. The flavors are vibrant, bold, and just feels like a taste of home. The service is excellent, we were asked many times if we were doing good and if we needed anything.The BEST!

Jordanian cuisine. Gyro meat was fire. Beef shawarma was pretty good. Markook could be improved. Overall very good.

Shawarma & Grill is a small local gem that packs big flavor into every dish. The portions are generous, and the food is consistently fresh and delicious. The casual, unpretentious atmosphere makes it a great spot for a quick lunch or a satisfying dinner. Friendly service and quality ingredients make this little spot a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Middle Eastern flavors.

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.

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.

Hands down best Shawarma AROUND!! Love this place. I overheard the proud owner speaking to the customers about his 50 years of enjoying to serve his traditional food. I will let the picture speak for itself!!! ENJOY the CULTURE!

Sooooooooo delicious! I had the chicken shawarma wrap. The chicken is perfectly cooked and seasoned. A beautiful harmony of flavor and tang with the home made pickles and the owner suggested I try the spicy sauce. At first I was a little nervous since sometimes I cannot handle too much heat but it was more flavorful than spicy. Tangy. Delicious. I can't say enough about this place. I was so happy I decided to try this place! Plus the owner is a super nice guy and the young man working there was very friendly as well! I will be back! read more

I will definitely be coming for more. I had the chicken shawarma plate and it was so filling and so delicious. It was so big I shared with my sister and my mom. The service was also wonderful.

The food was great. The food is fresh, really flavorful. I eat falafel all over the world and this place is really good falafel. And baklava is my favorite desert they do a rolled one here that's good. The service is really what makes this five stars, the owner chef recommended the food we ordered- kafta plate and veggie plate, he walked out made sure our food was good brought us extras.

The best Mediterranean food I have ever tried. For the price of it, the portion, and everything is made based on the chef's own recipe?! I think it's worth the trip from Murrieta. Quality can be found here. My boyfriend and I love Mediterranean food. This one hit differently. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Plate Entree and my bf got the Combo Entree. The chicken was beautifully seasoned. It didn't even need any sauce cause it was full of flavor. The entree usually came with hummus, but I had baba g switched out. I love baba g. My bf got the combo plate that had chicken and beef. He also switched his hummus for baba g. The baba g was definitely made from scratch and it was delicious. However, the owner let us try his hummus after hearing we had subbed it out for baba g. BEST HUMMUS IM TOWN HANDS DOWN. That hummus was different and definitely worth the trip back for me. The thickness and flavor was fresh. He makes it fresh! Another favorite of mine was the beef. I've never tasted that type of beef before in any Mediterranean spots I have been too. Which is why I always got chicken. The quality of the beef and the tenderness was perfection. I kept poking at my bf's plate since he had the beef. Next visit I'm definitely getting the combo or the beef itself depending on my cravings. The service given was excellent. The man who took our order was kind enough to ask the chef if we can switch out our hummus. And thank you to the chef for making us feel welcome and sharing your meal talent with our community. Will definitely be back and recommending this place. read more

We stopped here yesterday on our way back from a weekend in Palm Springs and this was the perfect place to go. I ordered the chicken shawarma wrap and my wife got the gyro.

Understanding that there are different styles depending on area you're from: keeping this in mind. We had gyro wrap, a lot of meat with touch of tomatoes, red onion with HUGE amount of meat. Greek salad lettuce, medium size cubed cucumbers, Greek pitted olives, crumbled feta, tomatoes a lite dressing (not vinaigrette) and portions huge. Could've shared one order for two. Flavors were mild, but good . Service was great. read more

This was my first time going to this place and I looked forward to trying it. However, it was a complete let down. My chicken was old, DRY, and HARD! Maybe it was the fact that I didn't leave the requested 15+ percent tip upon ordering my to go order that made me get the old stuff. However, I don't feel comfortable leaving a tip BEFORE receiving goods or service. I'm glad I didn't leave a tip and I won't be back.

If you're in the area and craving shawerma, this is the place to get it. My brother and I were greeted upon arrival and ordered two different wraps and shared. The wraps are great and filled with meat and veggies, they don't skimp on the ingredients! The fries are nicely seasoned but the falafel is truly the star of the restaurant; it comes as close to perfect as ever, I was genuinely surprised by how good it was. Would recommend to anyone who loves shawerma and falafel. read more

That bread was so cold and hard I considered using it as a coaster for my water cup!! It was dangerously hard it could've been considered a weapon!! The beef shawarma plate arrived lukewarm, like it just got out of bed and wasn't ready for the day. And no salad anymore? What in the hummus happened here?!?!?! Speaking of which, shoutout to the hummus... it's still holding it down like the last reliable friend in a friend group that's falling apart. Theu need to step up the overall quality since there's so many other Mediterranean food competitors in the area.

I am obsessed with Za'atar so I definitely had to try the Za'atar flat bread and it was delicious plus everything else we tried was just as amazing. Right away I decided to look no further and booked them to cater the food for my birthday. The kabobs, beef, chicken shawarma and everything we ordered was outstanding!! Our guest were all super happy and kept asking where we ordered the food from so I'm sure they will also be visiting the place soon. Needless to say the owners are super sweet and helpful!!! Sadly I didn't take any pictures. So busy running around I totally forgot!

I started with the lentil soup, which was rich and comforting, then moved on to an appetizer combo of falafel, kibbeh, and lahme bajin. Everything was delicious. I wasn't a huge fan of the molasses on top of the kibbeh and would've loved a bit more tahini, but even then it was still excellent and hardly worth complaining about. I also ordered the chicken kebab plate, and I have to say, the salad dressing was simple yet easily one of the best I've had in a long time. The rice tasted like true homemade, family-style cooking, which I really appreciated. And the lahme bajin? So good that I ordered six more to go. Absolutely worth a visit.

The restaurant is clean, vibrant, and charming with plenty of booths, a large family dining table, and outdoor seating. The menu offers a variety of choices from salads, bowls, and large plates with your option of protein ( beef, chicken, and gyro) . I love how the food is brought to our table warm and freshly made. The prices are very reasonable with generous portions. I feel that feeding your family here, your money is well spent!

This casual eatery serves fresh Asian-inspired healthy salads and rice bowls. They even have a Jr bowl for kids. The ambiance was comfortable and welcoming. It's the perfect spot to grab a healthy lunch with friends, colleagues, or even just a quick bite after a workout. This place would do so well next to a busy gym! I ordered the Salmon Mango Avocado salad. It is was so fresh and delicious! It had perfectly cooked salmon on a bed of mixed greens topped with avocado, tomatoes, carrots, red onion, cilantro, green onions, and a spicy lime dressing. It hit all the spots! I can eat this every single day for several weeks straight! The family that runs this place were so sweet and incredibly patient as I was reading the menu trying to decide what to try. Their most popular are the Ahi tuna salad, salmon mango avocado salad, and the Toss'd steakhouse with goddess dressing. They had some pressed juices as well as Thai tea, sodas, and fresh coconut juice. There were a few places to sit for small groups of two or three people. The parking wasn't much of a problem but spaces weren't plentiful when we arrived in the afternoon. I would drive out of my way to eat here because the food was delicious and the family that runs this place were the kindest people.

The veggies were dry. We spent $80 and only my husband ate his food because he didn't want to waste food. The place also doesn't have great sitting and it has a funny smell. Unfortunately not good at all. Will not be coming back. It looks like a newer place maybe they will improve their food.

Walked in a few days ago around noon. The only person there was a heavy set, bald man whom gave me a nasty look when I walked in. Did not greet me. Walked to the back, then walked back up to the front and said to me in an angry manner "what do you need today". I asked him for a chicken shawarma wrap and a side a rice. He then responded "I don't have rice if you want it you need to wait 30 min". Geez sorry for making you go out of your way. I then walked out. You've lost my service. read more

Wow is all I can say. Massive amount of food. I got the combo plate husband gyro plate. Also 6pc grape leaves. Best grape leaves I've ever had. Everything was so fresh. The salad was bland but fresh. The hummus was amazing and a ton of it. Tzaziti sauce amazing. We took home half of our meals. Cashier was really sweet will come back again for sure. read more

I have been here three times everything was great the first two times but the tabouleh the third time was not as good but better than most places. It's clean, staff is pleasant, prices are average to this type place. I would recommend this place if you enjoy gyro's, hummus, or tabouleh. read more
