This place is seriously a hidden gem! Syrian Shawarma has some of the BEST shawarma I've had in a long time. You can taste the difference immediately -- the meat is juicy, perfectly seasoned, and packed with flavor, and the bread comes out warm and fresh. The portions are generous, everything tasted fresh, and the garlic sauce is absolutely addictive. Every bite has that authentic Syrian flavor that's honestly hard to find. The staff were welcoming and friendly, the place was clean, and the food came out fresh and hot. You can tell they actually care about the quality of what they serve. If you're craving real Middle Eastern/Syrian food, GO HERE. Get the shawarma, load it up with garlic sauce, and thank me later. Definitely one of those places you try once and immediately start thinking about when you're coming back. 10/10 -- I'll absolutely be back! read more

I found the food to be ok but not great because I judge the food along with the price and taste and my taste was ok. Server was very nice and the dining room was like a private area for sitting in. I gave them a 7.0 . Chicken wrap was $16.99 plus tax. Not even 12 " but that's my opinion. Chef Chris read more

Yall let quality control go with this one. Lost a customer. Enjoy. We don't even have a decent shawarma place in Tampa.

Great Shawarma spot and I dare to say this is as authentic as it gets! Reminds me of Shawarma back home in the Middle East. This was my first time trying out Syrian Shawarma and I was happy to see the massive chicken and beef meats that they had on the skewers rotating. That's what I knew, I was in for a treat. I tried both the chicken and beef Shawarma's with fries and pickles on the side. While the beef shawarma was pretty good, the chicken Shawarma is what stole the show as it was excellent. The saj bread was fantastic, and perfectly crisped. The garlic toum was the perfect touch that had the right balance of garlic flavor without being overpowering. Loved the Shawarma and would be back again to try it next time I'm in the area. Friendly staff members and quick service too! read more

Everything was very enjoyable and flavorful - we ordered chicken shawarmas and beef shawarmas, and had our meals with fries, toum, and pickled veggies. It was great seeing the meats in the vertical rotisseries, and so satisfying seeing them shave off the meat for the orders. The space seemed to have plenty of indoor seating, I didn't see it all since we were taking our order to go. The restaurant was packed with people so the order took some time but it was worth the wait! Would recommend and be back if I'm in the area! read more

Fantastic Beef Shawerma! Best in town!! Even though they are packed with customers, their food is always top notch quality! We really enjoy eating there :) read more

I finally achieved my goal of trying every shawarma spot on 56th. I stopped by on a Sunday evening. The restaurant wasn't busy inside, but they clearly had plenty of takeout orders going. I ordered my usual beef shawarma with fries, and based on their recommendation, I went with the combo--perfect for a chilly winter night. The shawarma came pre-cut, which made it easy to grab and enjoy. The fries were fresh, and the pickles were crisp. One bite and the juices burst out--the best feeling. I'm giving their beef shawarma a full 10 out of 10. read more

So I went here about 3 times now and it's always amazing, the chicken shawarma platter is delicious and so authentic, the toum is so good, the pickles are soft and could be crunchier, the fries are tasty but also could be a little crunchier, overall an amazing place!! But be warned when you go it's almost always packed so be prepared to feel a little squished and find a little trouble with parking. read more

We tried this place as we were super hungry and looking for halal food so came across this on Google search. To be honest it wasn't the best. It was very very salty. Their garlic sauce had so much salt in it. Staff was mean and they wouldn't do anything about salty food. They opened at 12 and we were there at 1230 and they told us oh we are sold out of rice. I mean someone they just opened and how can they be sold out on rice. What a lame excuse. It's pricey and quantity wasn't good either. We paid almost 50 bucks for 3 of us (2 adult one child). Their bread is something we couldn't eat. They just put some kind of ketchup type of sauce in. The meat quantity is very less. Honestly we bought three different type of meal and all tasted the same plus so much salt. We couldn't finish it. Not going there again read more

We came here after doing Busch gardens for the day. We love middle Easter food so this place looked amazing plus the reviews gave it a 4.9. When we walked in, it was busy. We ordered a kibbeh, tabbouleh, and chicken and beef loose shawarma. It took a while to get our food. We finally got our food. The kibbeh, was good. Not the best, as it was crunchy and thick but I feel the meat could have been a little more seasoned. The shawarma also was very bland. It was good not dry but they missed the mark with seasoning again. The garlic sauce was good, but light on garlic and whipped. The fries were the most seasoned thing in our food. Overall, solid 4. I doubt I'd be back. read more

Syrian Shawarma - Fast Food Near Me - Temple Terrace, Florida

I've never felt so unwelcome at a restaurant before. The woman answering the phone had a very rude attitude, and another employee (curly hair, glasses) matched that same energy. The looks and behavior toward me and my mom were honestly disgusting and completely unprofessional. Customer service should never make people feel uncomfortable. Definitely not a place I'd return to. read more

One of the best shawarmas in Tampa that I've tried. I tried lots of spots in the temple terrace area and this one is by far the best. Quick service even though they're busy and nice vibes. Feels like home! Would highly recommend the beef of chicken shawarma! read more

The shawarma you've been waiting for. Drop everything and go there immediately. Not only juicy chicken and beef shawarma with all the fixings, but also a great family style seating area. read more

Overall good and full of flavor. One of the best beef shawarmas I've ever had. The kibbeh was full of flavor too. There's also a kibbeh shawarma option which I've never seen before. My only issue is with the portions of an extra jumbo beef shawarma ($15) didn't seem worth the price. It doesn't seem that much more filling than a regular at almost half the price. Kibbeh was $3 each. I didn't know when I ordered that it was only one piece but overall good. I'd definitely recommend this place. read more

It is amazing how great the shawarma tastes at Syrian Shawarma. Each country in the Middle East makes their shawarma a little differently. I particularly love the shawarma from Israel & from Lebanon. But now I have to say Syria is in a 3-way tie with those others. I ordered a mixed combo of chicken & beef. The chicken was my favorite of the 2. The meat was all white, & the spice mixture used on it was extraordinarily delicious. In addition to the meats, the bed of yellow rice it came on was moist & tasty. And to bring all the flavors together was a garlic sauce that worked perfectly. The workers were pleasant & the food was fantastic. read more

The food tastes good but the seating inside is very casual. There is no Arabic tea which is a must in Arabic place I have been too. The place just lacks a good vibe on the inside. It's very gloomy. Shawarma is good 7/10, but not the best tasting in the area. Service is good and the staff are very welcoming and well mannered people. read more

Best shawarma in town! Service is amazing and the people are kind hearted. Highly recommend this place

The food was great. The service took some time but that' was expected since the place was very busy.

I found this place on Instagram and have been wanting to try it, glad I did! Staff was friendly, food came out fast, and the tables were all clean. The kibbeh was perfectly seasoned and cooked; the beef shawarma had minimal toppings which I surprisingly enjoyed. Will come back for more! read more

They are very stupid when trying to take the order over the phone. Aside that, the food is ok.

Is it a good sandwich? Yes. Is it the best sandwich? No. Especially in comparison to price. I live right next door yet I only come here when I'm craving Shawarma and my other 2 favorite places are closed. I also tried the Kebbeh Shawarma and it's way over rated. read more

Syrian Shawarma - the name of the restaurant - Fast Food Near Me - Temple Terrace, Florida

Food was good, very authentic. It does take awhile to get, as others mentioned. Expensive side, two of us shared a shawarma platter & hummus (no drinks) and it was around 37.00. But I am choosing to pay that so no issues. (Though I am looking for another place that is less $$). But my real issue is the staff is just rude. Been there 3 times and it is the same. A smile (even a partial one) and a thank you would go a long way. After all, we are the customers. read more

Food is decent, but small servings and expensive. Worst part is the pace -- even much tastier, better-value food would not worth the wait. For an order of just one dish it took over 30 minutes to be prepared. The restaurant was slow -- just a few other tables similarly waiting forever for their food. The worst part is that you can see the people in the kitchen -- two standing at the front yawning and chatting without a care for the customers, and the ones in the back moving like sloths. It's clearly a workplace culture issue, and unfortunately makes this place one I likely won't come to again. Do not recommend -- you can have a much nicer meal if you want to spend forever waiting for the food to be made. read more

The best takeout shawarma in Tampa, both wraps and rice platters. It is fresh daily and can be a little bit of a wait so definitely order ahead and get the extra garlic sauce! read more

Delicious shawarma! A little smaller than other places but the quality was superb. The bread was fresh and there was a generous portion of meat inside along with the pickled veggies. Picked up an order to go and it was ready quickly. The inside was clean and had a fair amount of seating with people at most of the tables. I would try the spicy garlic sauce next time and maybe a platter. Great food for a decent price. read more

Super yummy no matter what you get places always busy food is fresh. Great customer service and takeout is always available.

One of the best chicken shawarma sandwiches. You have to try their grape leaves. Our food was ready in 10 min.

Excellent chicken and beef shawarma with rice and garlic sauce. Fresh bread and sumac onion. 10/10 would return

Chicken Shawarmy. Meat Shawarmy. Garlic Sauce and spice. Doesn't bore me, it restores me, put it on my rice. Fire meat, spinning meat, makes it nice and tender. Eat it up, mix it up, put it in my blender. read more
