    Chicken Shawarma (Halal)
    Sarah S.

    I ordered from Uber Eats, and everything was delicious! I got the Chicken Platter (Halal) with 6-Pc Falafel, Tzaziki Sauce, and Hummus with Bread! They really have the best food in town, because it is so tasty, fresh, and delicious! The meat and sauces with fresh veggies and rice are so yummy, I always enjoy their food!

    The service was absolutely 10/10, I didn't know what to order and normally have a hard time choosing what I want. A sweet lady offered suggestions, later giving me a sample of the chicken which made my decision so much easier. Food is delicious! Very nice experience :)

    Great restaurant to come with the family best Cajun food in town great prices and great service

    This is the best Mediterranean food I've had. Everything is so tasty and well seasoned. The customer service is outstanding.

    ....that secret sauce though.... On one of my monthly walk, talk and drops (flyers) I stopped in here on the good word of a friend in the know. He was right. This place is top notch! Malki, the owner, was working as usual and wearing many hats. She prepared the chicken shawarma as if she'd made it hundreds of times. It was quick and many others were right behind me waiting to put in. An order for the famous wrap. I like everything on it and extra spicy with the secret sauce. Pure deliciousness in every bite. Fast and friendly service and to top it all off, Malki is an awesome community member, participating in making the corridor a better place for the many local businesses. Only On Apache man! ......

    Great spot tucked away near ASU. It's mostly buzzing with university kids good food , affordable prices and stays open until late in the night. I have just tried the chicken shawarma and the burgers the filling was great , especially with the red secret sauce. There is an extra 50 cents to get the sauce on the side. Toppings include lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles and jalapeños. Overall a good find for those late night cravings. Cheers!

    We ended up here accidentally after our two first choices were closed. Overall, a pretty decent experience. Read on... Atmosphere: Shawarma Paradise is in an older strip mall on the corner of Terrace Road and Lemon in an older part of Tempe. The strip mall looks a little sketchy. The atmosphere is very basic, the table tops are made from painted plywood, it's older and on a 10 point clean-scale, I would give it somewhere between a six and a seven. It's relatively comfortable. Service: The lady at the counter started off a bit quiet and shy, but seemed kind. We gave her lots of kudos and praise and that seemed to help her come out of her shell a little bit. She brought us our food with a smile, so that was nice. Overall, I would rate the counter service as an 8 1/2 out of 10. Food: The chicken Shawarma plate she made for us was enormous, which was great. The basmati rice under the chicken Shawarma was warm and steamy, the hummus was pretty decent although I've never had it with green olives in it, so that was a bit different. The pita was warm and large and soft. While the chicken Shawarma portion was gigantic, and it tasted pretty good, it wasn't the best I've had, a bit bland. The garlic sauce was delicious. They don't have a soda machine, so you'll be buying a bottle of something if you're thirsty. The chicken Shawarma plate was around $10 plus a drink, so pretty standard pricing. Overall I would rate Shawarma Paradise a 7 out of 10, making this a 3.5 star review. I would certainly go again and try something new if I were in the area and wasn't jonesing to try something new.

    Falafel Sandwich

    I thought this place was pretty good. I ordered The Falafel Sandwich and Mixed Platter. I enjoyed the sandwich it had great flavor. The platter wasn't my favorite but still pretty good. Next time I'd try one of the Kabobs.

    BEST GYROS IN TEMPE Go up to the counter to order Subway style. The woman that helped us out was very friendly. She was the first person to tell me about a secret sauce so I had to try it on my gyro. Did not have to wait long for the gyros to be ready. I took the order to go and it was still warm when I got to my destination. Chicken gyro was wonderful. The flavor of the chicken itself was delicious. The added secret sauce might be spicy for some folks. The Traditional Gyro is very tasty. It is also nice that you have an opportunity to add your own twist to it with all the different topping options (not just the traditional lettuce, tomato, onion). Overall, if you are in the mood for a gyro this is the place to go.

    First time trying Dilly's and I was pleasantly surprised. It's hard to find a decent sandwich shop,…read moreso far we haven't had much luck. Staff were very friendly and the place was busy during lunch time so usually that says plenty. The Reuben was tasty, definitely not the best that I've had but I would get it again. The cheese wasn't melted enough and I asked for an extra side of thousand island dressing, so they didn't put any on the sandwich. Just little things that weren't done right. I tried it on their focaccia bread. Loved the rosemary flavor and it was a lot thicker and softer than your usual focaccia. I prefer the more dense and crunchy kind but that's just a personal preference. Their restroom was clean but when you open the door to the back, it smells foul. Almost like a sewer smell, very off putting when you are about to eat. Overall not a bad experience.

    Ordered take out. One gobbler, extra cranberry on toasted white and a cheese soup in a bread bowl…read more Order was ready when I arrived. Everything was packaged nicely with the soup in a container and the bread bowl on the side. The sandwich was exactly what I wanted but it was a little lean with meat and I definitely didn't get the extra cranberry I requested. The Wisconsin cheese soup was amazing. The perfect consistency with great flavor. The inside of the bread bowl was soft and doughy and the bread pieces dipped in the soup was comforting. The best part was when I was finished the inside of the bowl had soaked up that soup and was a pleasant soggy mess. Oh so good. I'd definitely order from here again when in the Tempe area. For the price though I think another slice of turkey and more cranberry would have made this an excellent dining experience.

They have alcohol which seems to be sold by a different company-- Anyways chik pop is just amazing. I got the OG Sando spicy which was a perfectly fried chicken thigh in a sandwich-- they add an extra piece of chicken with it so just on portion size this place is a winner. The heat was solid and the chicken was juicy check my pic. Staff was super friendly and the Tempe Eats has someone checking on you as well. The sandwiches come with a purple Italian style dressing ( not sure what is was) that you may find off-putting so if you are sensitive to that stuff get the sauce on the side. I didn't mind it all.

They offered him a birthday shot, but since he doesn't drink, they brought us churros for the table instead which was sweet of them. One thing to note* I wasn't expecting it to be as spicy as it was.
