    We were having a Yelp event a few doors down, and I spotted this place. So you know I had to stop by. I was otw to food and still stopped to get more food!! Greedy!! Lol. The owner greeted me right away and helped me decide what I wanted. There are tables inside to dine in and they also had delivery. There weren't many people inside so there was no wait. It's setup subway style where you pick your toppings and the bowls are made in front of you. There were a good amount of choices. They have platters, bowls, salads, gyros, and more. I got a bowl with chicken and pita chips. The prices was reasonable and the portion was A ok in my book!! The ingredients seemed fresh and all the textures and different sauces made the dish pop. I enjoyed my meal. This place will definitely satisfy you with all the options. Good service and nice people. Check them out!!

    Such an excellent place. I'm so glad they're around. Tasty and fresh food as always, kind staff. I wish they were more in the 757. Forget any other shawarma place in the area, this is an authentic and delicious place.

    I came here because they were on the Delta Skydining program and they offered me bonus points for dining within a certain time frame. I honestly would have never walked foot into this restaurant otherwise. Mainly because I have no knowledge of Mediterranean or Turkish food. I honestly had to look up the definitions of the menu prior to going to pick up my dinner. I decided that I would order a steak shish Kebab platter with babaganoush and Turkish salad with an extra steak shish Kebab. The menu says that there was a 15 minute cook time for the kebab platters so I did have to wait awhile for the food to be ready but it is nice that they cooked the food freshly. The restaurant is small and clean, nothing special but not bad either. There were about 10 tables for dine in. As I was waiting, the restaurant got busier and the once empty store had quite a few people dining in and taking out. Once my food was ready, I asked about the sauces available since they had six in-house sauces to choose from. The worker/owner? was very friendly and recommended the red hot sauce and he also gave me a side of Tzatziki sauce as well. He was definitely right about the hot sauce, it was really good. I used the hot sauce on the steak and the Tzatziki sauce on the sauced tortillas. The food didn't look as I expected it to look as it looked like the steak was wrapped in the tortillas but I think it wasn't the case as I think the steak just kind of rolled into the tortilla slice. The food was very good, the steak with the hot sauce was excellent, the rice was good, the tortillas were really good especially with the Tzatziki sauce. The Turkish salad was good fresh and wholesome with a bunch of chopped fresh vegetables and pickled cabbage. The babaganoush was good too but I thought it would be more the consistency of hummus but I think that was due to my lack of knowledge of the cuisine. Overall, I really enjoyed the food and next time I will skip the extra kebab because although I ate everything, I should probably have been fine with the platter portion and not gorge myself. I highly recommend eating here if you want fresh, healthy, good food.

    Chicken Shawarma pita (I ate 1/2 before taking a pic lol)

    I saw the truck for this place parked out front and my husband and I decided to go here for dinner. The food was delicious. I got a chicken Shawarma pita and I was only able to eat half of it while we were there. My husband got The beef/lamb Shawarma wrap and he really enjoyed it as well. Like I said, the portions were massive it was a little on the expensive side but because the portions were so good I don't think it's a big deal. The people inside were super nice and I would definitely go back.

    This place is legit! GREAT customer service and the food is deeeelishhh! The place has been open for a year but I just saw it when visiting a store near by. I walked in and the owner greeted me with the warmest welcome. He broke down the menu and talked about how in Israel Shawarma spots our plentiful and he takes great pride bringing a taste of home to the 757. I ordered a bowl with all the toppings. They weren't stinging on the portions either. The second time around, I had the chicken kebab platter. It came with well seasoned chicken, rice and 2 sides. I've had the Turkish salad, hummus, and an eggplant dish. Everything was yummmmy! Very healthy and fulfilling. They also serve pizzas which I will try next. But if you are ever in the area, please check them out.

    Turkish Hatay Style Lamb&Beef Doner(Shawarma)

    Hospitality. This is by far one of my favorite new places. I can't wait to bring the family back. I stopped in the other night since I didn't have my kids with me and I needed to finish up some studying before heading home. It was my first time here and they took time to explain the menu. I wish I took more pics while I was there.... Next time. In the front area you can get a quick meal to eat there or to go. However, if you have a few minutes, I'd recommend getting the Turkish Hatay. Ask about it and they'll explain it. I got the lamb/beef one along with a side of fries and garlic sauce/paste... whichever name you prefer. It was excellent. I shouldn't have eaten the whole thing, but I did. The good food and the warm fuzzies you get as soon as you walk in the door will bring us back time and time again. Definitely check them out!

    A hidden gem. We were looking for Mediterranean and it took us to this place. Firstly, the service is more than excellent. The cashier/server is so knowledgeable of what they were offering and was so attentive and very helpful in me choosing what I want. The place is small but clean and easy to maneuver & easy on the eyes too. Now, their food taste so good, full of herbs and each ingredients are fresh, well mixed & are distinctly palatable. The burst of flavor is very pleasing. I also like their warm bread. They also have desserts like baklava. I thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would visit this very tasteful place again.

    Chicken shawarma pita
    Damien J.

    Sophia and I headed to Chesapeake to try out this little spot which opened less than a year ago. It's right near my old job so the path was not hard to find at all. Being first-timers, would it be a yay or a nay? We were immediately greeted by the staff at the counter where you order. Both of us ordered a chicken shawarma pita which consisted of rice, hummus, onions, Turkish salad, pickles and Gariic sauce. Sophia had hers with slightly different ingredients and a side of fries which we both shared. Very good stuff. They gave us a good amount of chicken which was well seasoned. And you can't go wrong with veggies to compliment the protein. The fries were pretty hot and seasoned too. The next time I head back, I'll definitely order a side. I can say we found a new place to repeat. Great service by the staff, friendly vibes and great food. We definitely couldn't ask for more. Till next time :)

    Great service and excellent food! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We ordered the lamb platter, which came with saffron rice and 2 sides. I picked the Tzatziki and the hummus for my sides. The naan was very flavorful, which I believe had some kind of red pepper sauce. The lamb was tender and full of flavor. They gave generous portions, which was very delicious and well worth the price! I love this place because the food is excellent but at a fair and reasonable price! Will definitely be back because the trip is worth it!

    There was a shwarma at one point  Delicious!
    Daniel A.

    Ordered a Shwarma with the lamb and beef and an assortment of toppings recommended by the man helping me. As you can tell by the picture, it was absolutely amazing. If I didn't live so far, I'd probably come here way more than I should lol. Delicious food, come and eat!

    The food is delicious. Amazing customer service. The restaurant is very clean. I recommend this place to anyone.

    Baklava! You can taste the freshness
    Shay J.

    I haven't even tasted the food yet and I already know I am going to like it here. The customer service is TOP NOTCH! They are soooooo nice and helpful. I said I wanted a hummus wrap--all vegan. They crafted me a sandwich specific to my needs. Sadly, in this day and age, you don't get quality customer anymore. This place is the exception. They took the the time to make sure my meatless wrap had everything I wanted. That meant a lot to me. And that hummus wrap that I had not tasted in the previous paragraph--WOW! Homemade hummus, onion sumac, fresh veggies and tahini and garlic sauce took this from just a wrap to a MASTERPIECE. My husband had the lamb wrap and his first bite he said, "Oh this is FRESH lamb!" We also had the hummus appetizer, compliments of the owners--and they deep fry the pita bread. It has a crunch to it that makes it impossible to eat just one. We rounded out our meal with stuffed grape leaves (that were NOT OVERSTUFFED with just rice) and flavorful baklava. This TURKISH meal was absolute perfection (notice I didn't say Greek. Contrary to popular belief, hummus, shawarma, falafel, etc. are TURKISH in origin). This place will definitely see me at least 1-2x a week moving forward. Yes, it is THAT good!

There was such a pleasant, inviting energy that immediately made us feel comfortable. The food was phenomenal. Truly a chef's kiss. Our group had a range of dietary needs, including vegetarian and vegan, and the menu accommodated everyone effortlessly. Nothing felt like a compromise. Everything was seasoned beautifully, full of flavor, and thoughtfully prepared. And if you like a little extra salt, it's right there on the table, just the way it should be. One of the highlights of our visit was the chef coming out to spend a few moments with us. He was gracious, warm, and genuinely kind. That personal connection made the experience feel special and memorable, not rushed or transactional. I can't believe this place wasn't already on my radar, but I'm so glad we found it.

You're greeted at the entrance with a doorway strewned with greeneries and faux flowers that give you a serene and welcoming vibe. The walls had the warm wood grooved panels which give a rich vibe. And not to mention the plush velvety cushiony chairs! The music was playing, I found out it's a dance remix by DJ Slob - if you're into international dance music, Charlie's is the place to listen to hip dance tunes. Food is definitely 5 stars. One telling sign is that when I came in, they were busy packing a large lunch catering order. The gentleman even said he ordered for his office and that he wanted his office mates to try the food...good food just flows as word of mouth. I ordered the Moroccan cigars (ground beef wrapped in egg roll) which was large single serving enough for lunch for sure. It was delicious, the two sauces were great condiments. Everything on their menu sounded delicious, I will definitely come back to try the Shakshouka and the platters. Service was a 5 - oh it can easily be a 10! Cold water is served in a self-serve bottle/carafe. I asked whether they have desserts and Yugev said yes. He then came out with (on the house, don't be jealous now lol) their version of strawberry shortcake. Remember no dairy and yet it was absolutely delicious. I could have licked the jar clean! I met the wonderful, friendly, very personable owner Yugev. He talks about his restaurant with that passion of a business owner who wants to do well for the community as well - he has transformed the back patio into a nice dining area with a bar area soon to be fully serving and functional. What an absolutely perfect experience. Believe the reviews, come to try Charlie's Middle Eastern Cuisine!

Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and authentic, and you can watch it being prepared in the open kitchen. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meal, and there were no complaints about the food at all. What made the experience a little strange was the service. During our visit, the owner was noticeably short with the one and only server and spoke to her in a way that felt belittling, especially in front of customers. It was uncomfortable to watch. At the same time, the waitress asked us to leave her tip in cash or through Cash App before we had even received our food. That felt a little unusual and off-putting, as though we were being steered toward a specific way of tipping before any service had really happened. She had also mentioned that a birthday treat was coming out, but after we waited for a bit, she came back and told us the owner was upset with her and wasn't sending it out after all. That was odd and left us a little confused. Overall, it was a weird experience from a service standpoint, but the food was genuinely excellent. If you're going for authentic gyros and Mediterranean food, it's worth a visit. Just be prepared that the atmosphere may be a little unpredictable.
