I came here after a concert at the New Parish and man it hit. I got the chicken shawarma wrap and it was so flavorful, saucy, and satisfying. I appreciate that they weren't stingy with the sauce (which was very tasty) and the chicken itself was also very moist and flavor packed. I was expecting a food truck but they are now a brick and mortar store, but the location on here is the right one. read more

Shrimp Falafel Mix - Chicken Shawarma - Food Trucks Near Me - Oakland, California

So glad I got to finally try this place. I heard about them during the pandemic and reached out. They said they were renovating and working on a new location. I got a message today saying that they were reopening and I went to give it a try. The food truck is still parked right outside and the cafe inside the actual restaurant is called Cairo Station. It was so nicely interior designed, and was very neat and clean. I was actually their first customer to be inside the restaurant since they opened. I highly recommend getting the Mix Plate, it has beef, chicken, and shrimp. I will say that it is more expensive than it should be BUT I didn't have an issue paying for it since it was their first day and I'm happy to see them in my local community. Over time, they may need to bring prices for the plates down a little but given the pandemic and the challenges of opening a restaurant--costs of doing business are higher than ever so I didn't have an issue. I plan to add this place to the spots I frequent in Oakland and really encourage you to give them a try. read more

Amazing food, good service for a great price. I had the chicken gyro and it was spectacular! I would go back! It was delicious read more

I am patiently awaiting the re-opening of this truck. From what I heard from the owner, this truck will be making a comeback in the near future. It would probably help if Oakland had fewer broad daylight robberies, but... different topic for another day. read more

The big sign outside says Cairo Station cafe so don't miss it! Super yummy food!! A little oily but the flavors are amazing. Friendly service, fresh juices. read more

Shrimp Falafel Mix - Chicken Shawarma - Food Trucks Near Me - Oakland, California

Found this place around 1AM one late Saturday night and was thrilled with their food. I recall thinking, "this is the most amazing thing I've ever eaten." But that was likely due, in part, to not eating anything since lunch. Their menu looked pretty big, but due to the lateness they only had a few items available. The chicken schwarma was luckily one of those items. I had two and they were really flavorful. read more

Perhaps most people that eat here are drunk? They were out of lamb and shrimp, so we got falafel (chewy, lukewarm) and gyro (lots of lettuce, where was the meat?). I came looking for some good food on Saturday at midnight, but I was thoroughly disappointed. read more

If their truck isn't running/open (and their listed number for the truck here and on the website currently doesn't work) then just check Cairo Station (it's their storefront) hours. It's at 1720 telegraph, # is (510) 410-7666. Just putting this info here because I got the truck rec, then almost gave up bc it seemed like the truck might be open but is also listed on google search as permanently closed, but didn't know until after I did some searching around that these two are one in the same. Got the shrimp falafel sandwich, chicken plate, and knafeh. excellent, especially the sandwich and dessert! read more

We got the chicken swarma. This place does take a while, but when it its late in Oakland and you're hungry, this is not a bad choice at all. I felt the chicken wasn't as flavorful as I'd like but it wasn't bad. read more

Shrimp Falafel Mix, let me profess my undying love for you. You've been there through the worst of times, and you've been there through the best of times... aka when I've been drunk off my ass AND when I'm sober. Hey, I gotta keep it real. I mean, this truck IS parked right in between all of the hoppin' bars on Telegraph! But anyways, back to what I was saying... I'm in LOVE with this food truck! After a long night of bar hopping on Telegraph, I can always count on Shrimp Falafel Mix to hook your girl up with a bomb ass shrimp shawarma sammich. Let me tell you a lil' somethin' somethin' about this sammich. 'Tis the BOMB DIGGITY, son! This sh*t is like crack wrapped up in pita bread. Seriously. And, it came through drippin', drip, DRIPPIN'! All of that sauce dripping everywhere. My gaaaawd! This is probably one of the rare occasions when I'd actually find that sexy... and yes, I'm still talking about the shawarma sammich ;). I've had nothing BUT the shrimp shawarma wrap because it's seriously addicting and quite possibly the best friggin' item on their menu. Afterall, it IS called "SHRIMP" Falafel Mix. You just need to go ahead and get down with that shrimp one time. First of all.... how do they fit so much shrimp in that wrap? I mean DAYUUUM! It's always packed for the Gawds. It may not look like much, but damnit... this sh*t is straight fiyah. And, you WILL get messy because that sauce get everywhere. But it's so effing delicious. I don't mind all of that saucy goodness at all. The shrimp is always perfectly fried. Perfectly crispy. Packed full of flavor. Yada yada yada... you get the picture. Just effing GOOD! The only thing that sucks is that everyone ELSE loves this damn food truck too... especially at 2 am when it's sitting conveniently across the street. But trust me, it's so worth the wait! You need to sober up anyways, right? Just wait your turn because when it comes, it'll be heavenly, bay-beh! This is the BEST shrimp shawarma that I've ever had. Yep, right from this little food truck. The guys who work this truck are always working so hard, cooking their asses off back there. I tip my hat to them. Even when I'm not drunk, I hit up this truck and that shrimp shawarma wrap still be tastin' bomb AF! Thank you for staying open late to serve us drunkards (and non-drunkards) quality food. This SOOO much better than any fast food joint. Stop by this truck and fall in love! Just don't stop by when I'm in line because I don't wanna have to wait even longer to get my lovable shrimp shawarma sammich. Thankies! :) read more

The best late night food truck, if you are in the Oakland you have to visit this place for sure. Probably the best Mediterranean food in east bay. read more

The love is in the food and always has been! They've moved into a café space but they've maintained that food truck/hole-in-the-wall authenticity. You can't go wrong with the classic gyro sandwich. Me, I'm a fat boy so I just get all three (gyro. chicken and shrimp) in one . As for the deserts, the baklava is DELICIOUS--but the kunafa is where's its at! Don't pick one, GET BOTH! And if you don't know, they've got an in-house Turkish coffee that will smack any Starbucks drink or espresso shot. They are wonderful, welcoming people who appreciate their clientele. Try to come early, because it gets busier throughout the night. read more

Shrimp Falafel Mix is a convenient Mediterranean food truck with falafels, shawarmas, & gyros that I came across after drinking around Downtown Oakland around the bars. Stationed on Telegraph Ave right by Fox Theater and the DT Oak bars, me and my homies were getting the munchies and saw a pretty long line waiting for food. Couldn't resist the smell so we had to try some late night falafels in DT Oak. Service was super fast as they took our orders (credit or debit card & cash accepted). The line moved quick and we waited about 4-5 min to get our food. The crowd around the truck was pretty lit since everyone stopped by after drinks and they had loud music playing from the speakers of the truck. Ordered a Shrimp Falafel for $10 and it did not disappoint. Stacked with shrimp and veggies with creamy sauce dripping out, felt like heaven in my mouth. Definitely recommend to everyone that come across Shrimp Falafel Mix and stay lit read more

Good customer service, consistent quality of food, and open late night! What more could you want from a food truck? Although lines may look intimidating, they work fast and efficiently, so the wait is never too long. Shrimp and lamb gyro and shawarma are our "go-to" meals after stumbling out of bart, Somar, or Make Westing. read more

Thank you for being the only thing open and available after a few drinks and a Warriors Game. First of all, the smell alone that is coming out of this food truck will lure you in, even if you're not hungry! The food here is super fresh, so expect a wait when you order your food (but it's worth it)*wink. I tried the beef gyro, which was full of flavor! The meat is super juicy and it comes with the perfect amount of veggies and gyro sauce atop. It can be messy, so be sure to ask for extra napkins, because they only give you two of the really, really skinny paper napkins. They also sell bahklava, if you have room for dessert, order this too! Stop at this food truck; you have to try it at least one time and then you'll know. They stay open late for all the peeps after the bar/lounges near-by... so stop by for your late night snack. read more

If this food truck was near my office, I would staring in one of those TLC shows. My god is this place good. Shrimp Falafel all the way. But the veggie menu is hard to complain about. If you don't have time before your show at the Fox or under the big top to sit down, or maybe you don't want to, you're in luck. Don't forget to ask for extra spice. read more

TL;DR - Need food before or after your show at the Fox? Stop by this food truck! I may have been drunk while I've stopped by to eat here, but I know it is SO GOOD. Crazy that a food truck that plays loud music can have pretty delicious food. I love all of their food, but I wouldn't actually recommend the shrimp - ha. I'm docking points because the food is not cheap and there are no seats/chairs. You'd think that food trucks, because they don't need to pay rent they would not serve $15 entrance. read more

After leaving Woods Bar, I was on the hunt for a light, cheap dinner. And fortune smiled upon me as directly across the street was Shrimp Falafel Mix. Yep, that is the name of this green truck with cartoon shrimp decorated around it and proclaiming it to be the best gyro in town. Usually parked on 18th & Telegraph, which is a smart location considering the plethora of bars and venues - they probably crush it late night and after major shows at the Fox. They have a number of options, which does make it a bit difficult to decide. Sandwiches are wrapped in pita, they have a lot of vegetarian dishes, there may or may not be pasta entrees, and a lot of desserts. However the most confusing thing is the naming structure. shrimp falafel isn't falafel made with shrimp - it is shrimp AND falafel. Likewise shrimp shwarma would be shrimp and shwarma. Which really makes the desserts of shrimp baklava REALLY confusing. Anyways after looking at the menu I went to the other menu and asked the cashier what he recommended. "All of it. I love all of it." Well, I figure I will make my way down the list so I ordered the shrimp falafel sandwich, spicy of course. I already had some lefterover baklava at home, so that was it, and waited along with some others. What I got was a delicious pita sandwich, filled with chopped falafel (not dry at all), veggies, bay shrimp, and then topped with spicy tzatiki sauce. The best way I can describe it is like the first time you tried a taco bell gordita - when it was the most amazing thing in the world and not something you wouldn't order if you were starving because you actually know what food is now. With the pillowy falafel, the delicious mix of falafel shrimp and that spicy sauce on top. I had trouble not just inhaling it. I honestly can't wait to try other items on this menu - the gyro, the shwarma, even the pasta was intriguing. Good to know I do have a cheap, fast good food option a few blocks away. read more

Someone brought me here on a whim the other night, and I fell in love. The people at this truck were so friendly. There were quite a number of folks for a Wednesday night to stop by. Additionally, the people in the truck were so friendly. I had a mix of falafel, shrimp, and chicken, and it was absolutely delicious. Their white sauce is the best! Will definitely be back! read more

If you want to find a delicious wrap after a night of going out on telegraph.... go here!!!! There's a reason there's a huge crowd across the bars because it is so worth it. It's a little pricey, but I feel like people are usually satisfied after one. read more

Food 4/5. Service 4/5. Ambiance 3/5. You know the feeling you get when you eat food from a food truck? You feel like you spent way too much money for that amount of food. This food truck was far from it! After, bar hopping Oakland, this place was in a perfect location. This place didn't have much a line on a Saturday night. My order was taken right away and they accept credit card! I decided to get the chicken shawarma which was one of the cheaper entree items. I scarfed it down in less than five minutes t was that good. The shawarma myself reminded me of a Mexican taco. The outer shell was a soft pita, but the chicken itself was spiced with almost Mexican flavors. It was just enough food for a late night snack. Overall, I had a pretty good experience at this food truck and wouldn't mind ending up here any day of the night. Tips - Getting the shawarma spicy wasn't spicy at all, but it adds a different dimension to the dish. Pros - Great cheap food at the end of the night. Cons - Almost lacks the middle eastern flavors that is needed for a shawarma food truck. read more

Finally authentic Middle Eastern shawarma wraps in the bay! No hate to Mediterranean inspired places but this was legit. Come here if you're homesick. Came here after a concert at the Fox. Service was delightful, the environment was lovely and they've created cute and authentic ambiance with the decor. Proud Muslim establishment. Loved everything. read more

Awesome food and great music. Order the shrimp or chicken shawarma wrap. Ask them for extra sauce.

Sometimes life takes hold and makes decisions for you. Tonight was that night! I was in an exhausted haze from a super long day of work and boarded the wrong BART train. After getting off at 19th I realized the universe didn't want me to go home. It wanted me to go find some late night grub! While heading toward Rudy's I stumbled upon a beacon of potential foodie heaven - a well-lit, busy food truck. I ordered the shish kebab sandwich and would have bought baklava as well, but they were out (of both sweet and savory!). A man, who may have been the owner, said they make a certain amount fresh each day and had sold out. He reassured me there would be more tomorrow. After waiting a fair amount of time my number was called and I went to pick up my sandwich. I must have looked impatient while standing there because when I got to the window the man explained that it takes a little longer to make this particular sandwich because of the way they cook the meat. I reassured him the wait was no problem and I was sure the sandwich would be delish. Little did I know, it'd be all that and more. After catching a Lyft home I finally had some alone time with my food. And let me tell you, it was well worth the missed train and the wait. The pita was thick and perfectly crisped on the outside but soft on the inside. The meat was well seasoned and tender and the sauce was just enough so it was present throughout but not drowning. I finished wishing I'd bought a second or a third. And yes, if I had, I would have eaten all three. #NoRegrets Thanks, universe, for directing me to this truck. I look forward to our next adventure! read more

Shrimp Falafel Mix - Shish kebab sandwich dropped down from the heavens. So delish! - Food Trucks Near Me - Oakland, California

I was djing at Somar and my buddy Mark Maiden told me to hit the Falafel truck across the street. I ordered the Shrimp Shawarma. It was SOOOO GREAT! Juicy, flavorful, sweet, fulfilling, messy. Just AMAZING. I was thinking about for the next week and a half. So tonight I was in San Francisco and decided I needed to go out to Oakland just to get another one. LOVED IT. One of the cooks remembered me and what I ordered. Super cool folks. I asked to take a photo with them before taking off. Everything about this food truck is just AWESOME. Cool lighting, super friendly workers, and mouth watering food. Stoked to have found this place. As I was leaving I was offered a drink on the house. I love you guys!

Food is amazing! Me and the girls come here every time we are in the area. My favorite plate is chicken/rice and gyros! Never had a chance to take a photo bc we eat it so fast but I'll get a pic next time! read more

Absolutely fantastic. Honestly I completely forgot I had a Yelp account until I ate here on a whim tonight and felt the need to share with the world. I can only speak to their chicken and rice plate...but speak I can, for it is DELICIOUS. Their white sauce is delectable -- tangy, creamy, not ranchy at all like some other places in the Bay (??), it reminded me of late night stops at my favorite NYC cart. The hummus was a fantastic touch, and the chicken had some kind of wonderfully tasty spice happening. My taste buds were into it, is all I'm saying. I will definitely be back (not least because I owe the truck a $1 for pita after he told me to just pay him next time since I didn't have enough cash!), and if you love your stomach and want it to experience the best I recommend that you stop by too! read more
