    Waygu beef and chicken bowl
    Crystal F.

    I love the food from here, everything was so fresh and delicious. I ordered the beef and chicken shawarma bowl, which came with rice, tabouli, hummus, sauce, and came with a side of pita bread. It was a good-sized portion, but the flavors make me want more. We also ordered their Waygu beef cheesesteak sandwich with fries, the sandwich was thick and very gooey. It tasted amazing and could be enough for two people. The service was quick and easy, and this location was pretty clean inside.

    Chicken cream chop wrap

    Not that good. I got the chicken cream chop wrap and chicken shawarma wrap and I don't recommend either. Cream chop wrap broke up on me half way through and chicken shawarma wrap was 50% bread and 50% meat and practically nothing else. I have pictures

    So came here for the first time to give it a try it was very good I got the chicken shawarma Bowl the rice was good the chicken shawarma was okay not very much I was kind of surprised by the small amount of meat they gave but it was good enjoyed the garlic paste and hummus was delicious the pita was also good but the rock star which I would go in and just order that was the wagyu Shawarma egg roll that was absolutely delicious with a capital D I would go in there just for that it's only two egg rolls it's $12 a little pricey but it was quite filling the servicer is great there's a nice young man who helped me out I didn't get his name but he was really nice very friendly would I go back here yes indeed but I'll try the beef Shawarma next time.

    Shawarma Guys is so good. I tried it this weekend and it was the perfect pickup spot for our group hangout. The food truck in South Park serves amazing food -- fresh, flavorful, and generous portions for the price. We had the falafel, the chicken/beef wagyu plate, the Greek salad, and the wagyu beef egg rolls. Everything was delicious. The plate comes with hummus, tabbouleh, and yellow basmati rice, and it's honestly perfect for two people to share. If South Park isn't convenient, they also have restaurant locations in La Mesa and Mira Mesa, so you can check out whichever one is closest to you. A great spot for anyone craving bold, tasty Mediterranean food.

    Wagyu Beef Shawarma Pita (Bryan's Way)
    Julie B.

    Easily my favorite spot for beef shawarma: it's flavorful and tender. The chicken shawarma fries are packed with protein and fries. I always treat myself to the egg rolls, but the real standout is Bryan's way pita sandwiches. Portions are big and super filling. There are community tables, but I usually prefer to take it to go.

    The food was simply outstanding - tasty, freshly made and savory. Beef shawarma was the best followed by the chicken shawarma. The rice, humus and pita perfectly complemented together. I can see why they were voted #1 in Yelp. The staff were welcoming and made helpful suggestions. The ambiance was casual, airy and comfortable. Highly recommended!

    We arrived on a busy weeknight to dine as a family. We were greeted by a nice young lady at the front counter. She smiled and was very helpful with us deciding our order. This location is in a busy shopping strip mall where Sprouts also is. There are so many people coming here to eat. The seating layout is very challenging. The tables are perpendicular to the walls and they are close together. On a busy night, it is very challenging to sit together with your family without forcing others to move aside or change their seating. We ordered: 1 Chicken & Wagyu Beef Shawarma Bowl, 1 Chicken & Wagyu Beef Shawarma Plate, and a Wagyu Beef Plate, plus 3 fountain drinks. Because of the challenging seating layout and busy dining time, we started sitting against the wall cramped next to a party of 2. Once another party left their dining table, we were able to move to the empty table to done together as a family. Our food came out after about 12-15 minutes. It was hot and freshly prepared. The staff here is so customer service friendly and we absolutely love their food. I like that they have the Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives playing on the TV in the restaurant. It's the episode with Shawarma Guys founder cooking and owner and Guy Fieri tasting the cooked food and loving it! Shawarma Guys is so good and we have been going to them since their original South Park Truck days. Love it!

    No flavor

    To start off, I would like to say that the service was OK. The ambiance was OK but the main concern is the food which is also OK but not something that I will go back to especially the fact that they don't mention the fact that there are certain things that can cause allergies. I could have died.

    The space felt a bit empty for dine-in, as most of the traffic was from takeout and delivery orders rather than people eating inside. We came to try the new crispy pita sandwich as seen on social media, and it was just okay. The pita had a nice crunch, but the flavors were overpowered by the pickles, making the sandwich taste overly sour. The portions were also on the smaller side, so it didn't feel like the best value. The combo came with noticeably more rice than meat, which was a bit disappointing. On top of that, sauces are an extra charge, and they didn't really add much in terms of flavor. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but it didn't quite live up to the hype.

    This is the best shawarma hands down! They seriously need to open one in North County. We heard of this place and initially came for an event and then came back because it's so good. Order at the front, find a seat. I got the bowl, half and half (beef and chicken). They use quality Wagyu beef as it was not chewy. Super tender. The chicken was good too. The spices/seasoning on the meats were delicious. So much flavor!!! Kids eat free with an entree purchase of a certain price or more. The kids bowl came out pretty plentiful too. Their plates are good too, and they add all the stuff to it like hummus, tabouli, basmati rice and garlic paste with pita bread without extra costs. Really wish they had one in San Marcos! Great for lunch and dinner. They also have family sizes.

    This is my favorite shawarma place. Move over TKS! The meat is tender, flavorful and just amazing. They need a north county location, like in San Marcos. I got a wrap this time, it was good, but I prefer the bowl or plate. Get half or the beef is a must try. They give you so much food. Best shawarma in town Plenty parking Garlic sauce is fire

    First time trying this place and with the amount of topping that was on the fries the fries still had a good amount of crunch to it. Love the flavor I did not like any of their hot sauces.

    A Wonderful Evening at Tahini Restaurant…read more We had such a wonderful evening at Tahini Restaurant! The service was excellent, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was delicious. They had unfortunately run out of baklava, but Raz came through like a superhero! Just 15 minutes before closing, he managed to bring two of us baklava--and what a way to finish the meal! That kind of service and attention to your guests really makes a difference. And don't forget to get the pickles! They're listed on the menu as pickled cucumbers, although to me, they taste just like delicious kosher dill pickles. I'm not sure why they're called something different, but that tangy flavor adds such an amazing touch to the meal. Thank you, Tahini, for a great meal, great atmosphere, and a great evening with my cousin. And Raz, you're definitely our baklava superhero! ‍ Five stars all around!

The menu was a bit confusing, but I know that I like grilled veggies and Greek salad and then Ike was able to pick my protein that I wanted so that seemed easy enough. The base price with falafel or chicken Shawarma was Close to $16 but since I chose the meat, they added two dollars to my total. It took about 10 minutes for them to assemble my meal, but my veggies were cooked fresh on the stove, which was really nice. They tasted very freshly cooked just as they would as if I had cooked them myself at home. I was there about 1245 on a Monday and there were a few people there and they had some takeout orders so my order took about 10 minutes before I could walk out the door with it. They had a nice condiment bar where you could pick out some yogurt with dill sauce and then they're famous garlic yogurt sauce, as well as a jalapeño sauce And another spicy hot one that I would never try. When I got back to the jury room to eat my meal, I saw that there was a nice quantity of the fresh salad and the grilled vegetables but the meat was piled high! The employees were working efficiently and the place was spotless and orderly.

Sure, it's a little on the pricier side, but I don't mind paying more if the quality of the food and ingredients matches the price. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.

Fast forward a couple of hours after eating, I got home, tried to go to sleep, and ended up feeling extremely sick with what seemed like food poisoning. For $50 for a pizza and cheesesteak, I expected fresh, quality ingredients and a much better experience. Definitely disappointing and unfortunately not somewhere I'd come back to.

My co-worker on the other hand stated he could order an another cheesesteak sandwich. The place was small and cozy the seating area had a backyard feel. I even made a comment to my co-worker that there were apartments on the other side of the restaurant fence and who ever lived there could hop over and grab a cheesesteak or pizza. I will be back to try the pizza.
