I stumbled here on accident after visiting the military museum 10 minutes south of here. I was impressed with how great the plate of food tasted. The amount of chicken they have was very generous and none of the pieces were overcooked. They were moist and the skin was a bit crispy. It was spicy and savory. The rice and veggies were also tasted great. It was portioned just right to have multiple delicious bites of food. The food here tastes way better than naf naf. The thing I will ding this place on is the cleanliness. The seats were a bit dirty and honestly serving food on a pan can be gross. I dont know how clean it is.
We were planning to have super at a different Middle Eastern restaurant nearby but entered Shawarma House by mistake. It has a larger menu than the other restaurant, so we decided to try it. The two of us each ordered an entrée (Sheesh Tawook and Beef Shawarma) and shared a couple of side dishes (Falafel and Pickle Mix). The meats were flavorful and tender, and the falafel was quite tasty. I personally like pickled vegetables, but the pickled cucumber, carrots and daikon in the mix were too salty for me. There were some customers who were obviously from the Middle East, which is a good sign for me. Overall, I consider the restaurant to be of good value.
Shawarma House is delicious! I've only done takeout so far (twice now), but both times were excellent. I tried the beef shawarma plate, which comes with beef shawarma slices over rice, tomato, onion, and their delicious garlic sauce. Everything was super flavorful and well-seasoned, and the portions are huge for the price. Definitely want to come back to try their other dishes.
My second hole-in-the-wall today. Ordered Lamb Kabobs and tabbouleh. The tabbouleh was a bit "wet" for my taste but quite good. The lamb was INCREDIBLE. Perfect texture and flavor. Not greasy or dry. Perfect! The spices were awesome. This is the meal I have been looking for this week! 5 stars. Fantastic price. Absolute must visit.
I stopped here after finding several places in the area that I wanted to try were closed. Parking was easy right in front of the place with a sign saying crazy deal Gyro platter for $6.49 so that was not what I was thinking but that sounds good. I ordered the Gyro platter to go which took about 10 minutes and I was off on my way. The gyro platter looked terrible like someone shook the whole container because the onions were everywhere on top of the frys under the frys. I went to Walgreens across the street to return Redbox so I thought I would just eat in the parking lot and I noticed that they didn't give me any Tzatziki sauce, what gyro place doesn't give sauce with the gyro because that's what makes a gyro a gyro. So I walk across the and ask the guy if I can have a couple gyro sauces and he stares at me like how dare you ask for sauce with your gyro and turns to the kitchen with out saying a word and hands me 1 sauce, seriously. I tasted the gyro meat by it self and it was on the dry side and pretty mild for gyro meat. The platter came with batter frys which were hot and crispy with a soft center. The gyro platter came garnished with onion, tomato's and feta cheese and a pita bread. The gyro was not very good compared to the other place down the street that is very popular.
Best Mediterranean in Milwaukee thus far for me. (I have super fond memories of a place in Michigan that got 5 stars, and Shawarma House just doesn't quite top it for me yet, so it's a 4. But a very solid 4) Since it's covid-19 days, I'm just making a mental note on the grubhub delivery service yelp uses - me no like. I don't get food delivered often, so I don't know if this is the norm, but there are some serious up-pricing going on with the service. Then they charge you a delivery fee. Then they want you to tip the driver. One entree was priced $18 on the yelp site (via grubhub, I assume), and it was only $14 at the restaurant. Check my menu pictures as of May 2020 if you're sensitive about this stuff. I'm glad we picked up ourselves. Called the restaurant and ordering was easy enough. When picking up the food, noticed cashier wasn't wearing a mask, but had a nice smile. At least I had a mask on. The food: KEFTA KABAB WRAP. I didn't know you had the choice of the wrap (they have regular pita or shrak), and they just made me one with shrak by default (it's $1 more than regular pita). But I would get the shrak in any case - it's really good. The menu says this is ground meat, but it's like gyro meat - maybe ground, and then packed in together? So it's not crumbly. Very tasty. LAMB SHEESH KABAB. The lamb meat was tender and perfectly cooked. The smell wasn't overpowering like I've had in other places, and that was a plus for me personally. The dish comes with Jerusalem salad (eh, not my favorite), a choice of hummus or baba ghannouj (went for the latter, which is roasted eggplant cream - oh wow, so delish. I think I'm going to ask for more of this instead of the salad is possible. It is so good, with a smoky flavor hard to mimic at home), and one pita bread (which was so so). I wanted to try their tabouleh, but they didn't have that. Sad. Oh, and it also comes with rice... which is so good.... I actually would be happy with just their rice and baba ghannouj. Mmmm. So overall, happy. I'm going again. And this despite the rope? or something like rope I found buried in my rice. Got me grossed out, but I had already eaten over 2/3 of the rice when I found it. (See pix) I seriously have no idea what it was... Maybe something like the rope that holds a roast chicken together? Although this is my first review here, I've had their food many times through the years, and had never had this kind of a problem before. So I'm noting it, but not reflecting it on my rating. I'm assuming it was a fluke, and these things do happen.
May as well start writing delivery reviews. Granted I've ordered from Schwarma House a few times over the years before we went completely through the looking glass. I've always found their food solid and reliable, portions a good value, and delivery on time and not missing items (the last one not always under the restaurant's control). But wait until you're sick of sandwiches and pizza, and Schwarma House is kind of the bomb. I got the All Inn Grill plate with extra tahini and hot sauce and it was one of the most flavorful--not to mention photogenic--meals I'd eaten in awhile. The kebabs were great, the rice perfectly seasoned. I got a shrak bread on the side because shrak bread is awesome. But the surprise on the plate was the baba ghanoush. It was smoky and acid-y with perceptible chunks of eggplant, which I promise is a good thing, even if you're not an eggplant partisan. If you live on the east side I'd recommend Schwarma House be in your late-night delivery rotation, though it makes a mean lunch too.
This is probably the most bland food I've ever had. $17.92 for the chicken shish tawook platter, the sides of hummus and salad were a third filled. The chicken had zero seasoning and same for the rice. They also charge 1.00 extra for a small container of garlic sauce which should be included with the meal.. I don't mind paying a high price for something good, but the lack of seasoning and small portions killed it for me. If you want to eat here, I recommend ordering the sandwich and not the platter. The only difference with the platter is $7.00 and a few tablespoons of a side dish.
Shawarma House - Milwaukee Spicy Chicken Platter = 10/10 portion size Tender spicy chicken over seasoned rice Comes with 2 pita breads + creamy hummus Fresh side salad to balance it all out The chicken had a nice kick, the rice was flavorful, and the hummus with the pita was sooo good. Definitely one of those meals that fills you up and still leaves you with leftovers for later 5/5 Would absolutely order again when I'm craving something hearty, flavorful, and filling.

This place is soooooo good. I usually order delivery from here but this was my first time inside. The worker was super nice and very helpful with reccs! They got our food out to us pretty quickly and it was sooooo delicious! Perfectly warm pita, juicy meat, and tasty baba ghanoush!!! All of it was so delicious, will always be a fav late night spot for me!! read more

One of the best chicken koobideh I ever had. It was the right amount of spicy and perfectly cooked. Loved everything about it. Ordered Hareesa for dessert and since they didn't have it, went with baklava. It made my sweet tooth happy. read more

Pretty disappointed in my Door dash order. My delivery driver was great. it's all on the restaurants end. I ordered the Vegetarian Friendly Green Plate I called asking if I could substitute dawali for the yogurt salad and they said no, even though I only wanted like 2 or 3 not a full order.... told me I would get double hummus instead which I was disappointed but fine with. upon receiving my food there was NO falafel & NO tabouleh ..... the restaurant didn't call me back, no one informed me they were out of anything else. the chicken shawarma was the dryest I've ever had didn't seem to have any garlic sauce and had a pocket of mayonnaise at the corner end...ew. mainly upset with my plate....like half of what I was supposed to get with it wasn't there. I'll be calling them tomorrow to see if I can get my falafel and tabouleh at least....that's the main reason I ordered that plate. read more
Man, a small shop amongst a bunch of Mediterranean food, but this small shop is spacious, clean and comfortable on the inside, and the food packs a BIG punch! Husband and I had the Sheesh Kabab and the Chicken Koobideh, and they were both very good. The key is the wonderful, soft and chewy bread that they serve their shawarma in - I found myself picking at the bread, craving more of it in each bite. All in all, I'd definitely return to this place for more shawarma! read more

DO NOT EAT HERE! They leave the back door in the kitchen 100% open and they leave garbage everywhere! Saw this yesterday on the way to my sister's house! What the h?! The back door was wide open too and flies were swarming the trash and making their way inside the kitchen through the completely open back door. Absolutely disgusting! It's incredible this place is still open and that someone hasn't gotten seriously sick. So gross! read more
I have ordered take out from Shawarma House a few times now. I've had both the Chicken Shawarma and the Chicken Sheesh Tawook, as well as falafal side. You can make any sandwich a combo with fries and a drink for a couple dollars extra. I'd have to say the Chicken Sheesh Tawook is my favorite, I loved the blend of spices and awesomeness. I've also learned the Shrak Pita is far superior to the regular pita. Th Shrak is thinner, bigger, and actually flavorful. It was recommended to me when I was ordering and being indecisive. The falafal is fantastic. Get at least 6 piece side, you won't regret it. It comes with a delicious dipping sauce. Everything about this side and sauce is perfect! I feel like everything on the menu has pickles in it, but the employees are so mindful of custom orders and everything is made fresh so saying "no pickles" is not a huge hassle. They offer delivery service and I was told online ordering as well. The dine-in area is relatively simplistic but clean and does the job. It's much more casual than the previous restaurant that occupied this space and I'd honestly prefer to take my food to go. Overall, Shawarma house is very good food for the price and I recommend for Arbaic food and late night dining. read more
Stopped in last night after watching the Yelp Volleyball Team dominate. I had beef shawarma on my mind even though kebobs also sounded like a great idea. The format is kind of on the fast casual side. I ordered and paid at the counter. Found a seat and my food was brought out to me. I served myself a beverage from the fountain dn grabbed plastic dining ware and napkins. When I finished, I bussed my table. I ordered the All In Shawarma Plate ($10.99), which includes a bed of rice topped with chicken shawarma, beef shawarma and some shaved pine nuts (alert to those with allergies or a dislike for pine nuts...I don't think pine nuts are in the menu description but they are on the plate). There were also sides of a colorful and fresh salad of diced tomato, cucumber, and onions, as well as a half pita bread, hummus and a falafel, so I was able to try a lot of the menu on one plate. I tasted a couple of pieces of chicken and beef shawarma first because I couldn't wait. The flavors were great. The beef was a bit on the dry side, while the chicken was a little better being slightly tender. I started enjoyed the salad, hummus, pita and falafel first. All were solid. The hummus was the creamiest texture I've had, and the falafel was among the better that I've tasted with a crispy shell and flavorful center. The rice pilaf was moist and complemented the shawarma well. There was so much food on this plate, I barely put dent in the shawarma and rice after finishing the salad, hummus, falafel and pita, so today's lunch consisted of leftover shawarma and rice. It was still very good. So, the beef shawarma wasn't the best I've had in town, but good enough. I will go back to the Shawarma House to try the kebobs and maybe give the beef shawarma another try at an earlier time of day. read more

Delicious shawarma dinner tonight at Shawarma House. We were weary from being on the road and all the Middle Eastern flavors hit the spot. Atmosphere was great with lovely soundtrack creating good vibes. Baba ganoush with felafel and warm bread accompanied my All in Shawarma - Hit the spot Chicken was tender and flavorful and beef with exotic savory spices (cinnamon?) was moist and super tender. My husband's Jerusalem salad was just what he wanted for low carb din-din. This place is on our radar now and we'll definitely be back for super quick service and great flavors. read more
