    Size of sandwich
    Michelle F.

    Shawarma Stop is a nice new tucked away spot in the strip mall across from Oberweiss Dairy. It used to house a sushi place before this. We ordered both the chicken and the beef Shawrma sandwiches with the trimmings and the sauce. Me being a sauce and extra sauce lover, I felt that there was a lot more sauce than I would have liked. Next time I will order the sauce on the side so I can control the portion. They use halal meats and the shawarma is made on the premises by the chef. These are good size sandwiches and could easily qualify for a dinner sandwich. Ingredients are simple with salad trimmings and special in-house sauce. They offer many different flavored sauces depending on your taste. They also have a very nice selection of deserts in a case. We tried the mini cream puffs which were excellent. All these deserts are freshly made daily! If you like dining in, they have a nice dining area that can accommodate an intimate get together to a large family setting.

    When I was driving down Schaumburg Road a couple of days ago, I saw this restaurant and today we are going to give it a try. When we first walked in there the door was hard for me to open. There were three people working behind the counter, no one greeted us but they all seemed really nice. The menu is available by the register. They have canned and bottled beverages and free tap water. After you place the order they give you a beeper like device and you take it to your table. The restaurant is not too big. There are only 5 booths and 2 two person tables and one large 6 person table. The booths were dirty, thankfully I carry wipes with me. The Chicken Shawarma was not like any other I have ever eaten. It is bland and the sauce taste like Mayonnaise. Not a lot of flavor and although it was made on a large wrap it was not as full as I hoped. They could charge a little more and stuff it more and I think I would consider trying it again. You could see pickles but the mayonnaise taste was overwhelming. I would recommend ordering it with the sauce on the side. The soup was served in a cardboard to go bowl. They give you plasticware to eat it with. It was just average they left a bay leaf in the soup, I know not to eat it but what if someone doesn't know . Look at the menu, it shows a picture of the dumplings and it does not look like they are in a broth. Maybe we ordered the wrong thing. It was served with sour cream so we drank all the broth then added the sour cream on the dumplings and ate it that way. I think we will wait a few months and give this place another try and order something else. The menu does not have many items on it. If you come here make sure you add a review so I can see what you think.

    We visited specifically to try the shawarma, and it did not disappoint! The beef shawarma was juicy and delicious; however, be mindful while eating to avoid any spills on your clothes! We also ordered the coleslaw salad, and it was quite good. However, I felt that it had a bit too much dressing for my taste. A lighter mix using vegetable oil and vinegar might enhance the flavors even more. Just a suggestion for improvement! I appreciated the variety of desserts they offered, including profiteroles, eclairs, and honey cake. It would be great if they could consider adding Napoleon cake to their menu as well. On a different note, they had unfortunately run out of chicken noodle soup and kompot due to high customer demand, which is understandable but a little disappointing. Overall, it was a great experience, and I look forward to returning!

    The entire menu is Halal. We ordered the beef Shawarma wrap, the chicken, Shawarma wrap, dumplings, and chicken noodle soup. Very flavorful and the portions are big. I highly recommend for a quick lunch or dinner.

    Yummi shawarma. I got chicken one

    Finally -- delicious Central Asian food in Schaumburg! I've missed this kind of shawarma from my childhood so much, and the first bite brought all the memories rushing back. The cozy interior is such a beautiful nod to Kyrgyz culture, and the warm, friendly atmosphere makes you want to stay a while. Shawarma Stop feels like a little taste of home -- absolutely worth a visit!

We ordered mild because my husband doesn't like things too spicy (I love spicy foods) it came with a sauce we picked the buffalo sauce. When we got our order the tenders were definitely not mild.... Probably medium. They also gave us the 24k sauce so we had to exchange it for the buffalo sauce. Everything was great but the app automatically adds a tip... I only caught it because the total went from $14.99 to $19.99 and when I checked there was a $2 tip. So I removed it. They don't even bring your food to the table. So be aware if you're ordering on the app.

The first is the chicken sandwiches were both inedible because the chicken breast pieces were hard and undercooked. We ended up replacing the the tenders in the sandwiches and throwing out the chicken. Second the Mac and cheese tasted great a few weeks ago but today the sauce / flavor to macaroni ratio was way too high making the Mac and cheese also inedible. They really need quality control to prevent jn the future. I would have rated 1 star but I know they can do better so hoping they use this review to improve their chicken sandwiches and Mac and cheese. Will be getting only the tenders in the future.

It was empty when it arrived, but filled up on our way out, telling me it's a popular place for the younger crowd. Either way, you know you're in for a good meal when you see the huge doner rotisserie spinning. The owner (at least I'm pretty sure he was the owner) helpfully walked us through their sauce selection and even offered my MIL some sauce samples. She ended up getting the hot dog with veggies, while my wife and I got sandwich combos (17 for the sandwich + 3.50 for fries and a drink). I was going to share my combo with my preschooler since they don't have a kids meal, but the owner thoughtfully offered some fries with chicken for him. We definitely had to tip well for such nice service. So this is no ordinary sandwich, and the pictures don't do it justice. In pics it looks kind of like a pita pocket, but this thing has some HEFT. Filled with veggies, meat, and sauce, it got a little messy but was really tasty. The veggies were fresh, and it's hard to top meat sliced right off the log. My MIL said her unique hot dog was good as well. To me it looked like a Chicago dog from another dimension, but I also want to give it a try next time. Protip: Ask for your sauces on the side. They're almost too generous with it on the sandwich so it's nice to have a little more control with it. This will definitely enter the rotation and will be letting our friends know as well. Great stuff!

The sauce is bright and tangy--obviously spicy, but so, so good. And there's really no place similar in this area. Paired with the rice and beans and cabbage helps tone down the spice. Goat Curry - So spicy but so flavorful! The meat is tender and it's addictive. Beef patty - This is different than others, and it seems deep fried where I'm used to baked. Always love a beef patty and our kids enjoyed it. Plantains - Our kids love plantains in whatever form. Plus, these aren't spicy so they eat them all. Mac and Cheese - I'm usually wary of getting mac and cheese for kids because it's bland and watery (my child's words not mine), but THIS mac and cheese was SO good! So much flavor and gooey cheese sauce. Both our kids loved it and said it was delicious. Easy win! Candied Yams - Of all the tasty things, this is probably my least favorite. Everything on the menu is packed with deep, rich flavor. But candied yams are just too sweet for me. I think people who like sweet things will love this, but my preference tends to lean less sweet and more savory. So if you're not huge on sweets either, maybe skip this and go for the other items. The staff here are so nice--we ordered with the high hopes of ox tail (one of the non-spicy items) but they were all sold out! My husband was so disappointed that she took pity on him and just gave him the sauce and bits and bones that were left because they couldn't sell it anyway. It was SO good. Almost better than the first time I remembered it. I could be entirely too full and still want a taste of these ox tails! Please never go out of business or change hands--this place is a gem.

I was hoping to get a gyro burger based on some of the past photos and reviews, but I guess the menu has been pared down. That's when the red flags started showing themselves - They were out of chili. Sorry kiddo, regular hot dogs then - No gyro cone on the spit - Empty drink fridge apart from some juices, bottled water, and Pepsi - When I asked for a cup of water, the lone employee just pointed to the bottled waters - There was one plastic fork left - like, it's dead inside, you couldn't bother to refill it? Despite missing the gyro burger and the gyro cone, I ordered the gyro sandwich anyway, and we also got a chicken shawarma wrap, a hot dog with everything, and a hot dog with just ketchup. I don't know what "everything" means to Palooza, but it doesn't add up to a Chicago dog. No sport pepper? No celery salt? One sad tomato slice? It was an insult to the institution. Feels like they skimp on the fries too. The gyro also felt small compared to what you would get at any other place selling them. The chicken shawarma wrap just didn't taste fresh and was drowning in some kind of sauce. As we left, I asked my wife the question I always ask her when we try a new place. And no, we won't be back. It's barely passable, but you'll find better versions of their food all over the burbs.
