Completely unexpected in many ways, some good, some not so good. Had no idea that this was a slavic joint, but was excited to try some food as it had been a while since I'd had any. Ordered the lamb shawarma and pelmeni at the counter on the way in. The shawarma is wrapped in lavash which is actually brilliant and it was delightfully flaky and crispy. The filling itself was delicious, tender lamb and pungently garlicky sauce--just what a rich meat needs to cut the flavor. The pelmeni comes with a side of sour cream, and I have to say that the flavor was not anything remarkable, and really depended on the sour cream to give it that boost. Figured out afterwards that this restaurant is attached to the neighboring spa, which is a no-frills Slavic-style facility from which patrons can order food during their spa day. The two establishments also share the adjoining billiards/rec room. Now for the reason one star was taken off: while the eating area is well-kept, the bathroom which is accessible through the billiards room was long-neglected, the trash can overflowing and the toilet paper missing--I had to poke around in the cabinet to find a new roll. They say a restaurant is only as clean as its bathroom, and I think you can say the same thing for a spa. read more

I ordered two portions of pork shashlik. Each portion was advertised as containing 250 grams of meat, but approximately 40% of the meat was missing from both portions. When I contacted the restaurant, they did not offer any meaningful solution. The only thing they offered was a discount on a future order. They did not offer a refund, replacement, or any other way to resolve the issue. read more

Stopped by for lunch with a friend and ordered the large chicken shawarma. You place your order first and then grab a seat. The food came out in about 15 minutes, served warm and flavorful. The shawarma itself was tasty, with a thin, crispy wrap--though I'd prefer it a bit softer next time. The ambiance was fine, nothing particularly memorable. Overall, the food was of good quality, though a bit on the expensive side. read more

Tacoma Shawarma - Chicken Shawarma - Kebab Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

So I totally didn't even know this place existed It was across the street at the 7-Eleven and I saw the sign and I was like that sounds really good. So I stopped in. I will say some of the menu items are kind of expensive but the shawarma for a full size seems pretty perfect. Everything tasted fresh delicious full of sauce and good vegetables and the lamb was perfect I also really liked the lemonades that they had I wasn't going to buy one but then they looked really delicious so I tried out the grape one and the pair one and both were fantastic I also really like the vibe of this place It seems a little bit more upscale but not like dress up type upscale. And in the back they got pool tables so it really feels like a place that you could just go relax and have some fun. We will definitely be back. read more

Food was delicious, clean and cozy inside, pool table is great addition while waiting. I recommend to check their hours, they closed early like 6pm. read more

Went there for lunch today.. very disappointing. Will get to the food in a minute. The cashier didn't give me all my change back. She gave me the $$ but not the 65 cents and didn't even say anything. I guess she thought I wouldn't notice. When I asked, she stated "I don't have change." Wow, if I was 65 cents short, I wouldn't have gotten my order. It's not the 65 cents, it's the principle! Now the food: ordered lamb shawarma, but the meat did NOT taste like lamb, I'm sure it was beef. I only ate half cause it left a bad taste in my mouth and had to brush my teeth right away. It was not a friendly atmosphere either. Will NOT eat there ever again. read more

Shared parking lot, a few doors down from Side Piece Kitchen. Nice and clean little spot, pool tables in the back room. Very friendly and helpful staff. If you are unsure what to order, just ask :-) Limited menu, which is nice. They focus on specific items and do a great job! Chicken shawarma was made to perfection. The wrap had just the right amount of crunch, the veggies were crisp and fresh and there was plenty of flavorful chicken. The soda/drink offerings were unique and not common in places I have frequented. I enjoyed the sparkling lemonade that had a hint of pear. $42 for two meals and 2 soft drinks. read more

We were only in tacoma for an hour and needed a lunch spot, and holy cow, best schwarma I've ever had by a mile. We also tried the Selgemi cheese wrap (also delicious) and our boys (1 & 5) devoured the pelmeni. Honestly will probably make an excuse to come to tacoma just to eat here again. Huge compliments to the kitchen and staff. read more

Sooo... I've has this place bookmarked for a while now and after a day at the beach... we were hungry and this restaurant was on the way home. Great right! So we stopped by and the girl in the front was so nice and patient. The tables were nice and clean in there. There are 2 pool tables you can play with while you wait. We ordered a chicken, beef, and lamb shawarma. We were quite disappointed in it... maybe it's a regional thing but it was the first time we've had people cabbage or carrots in our shawarma. There was too much sauce for my liking. read more

Stopped by for lunch. Had the chicken shawarma. The garlicky sauce was incredible and tasty. The lavash was fresh and a great container for the shawarma. The chicken was tasty and fresh. My only complaint was the amount of chicken/filling versus the price. With tip my sandwich with no drink/fries came to over $20 and I felt for that price a little more protein/filling could have been included. The shawarma itself was huge but the fillings definitely were a bit lacking. Service was fast and kind and the restaurant space was well decorated and clean. Please consider adjusting the price and/or fullness of the portion. read more

Was there first time, and it's perfect! The service is really great, I got the regular meal and it was delicious! Recommend it for sure read more

Food was good asf. 9/10. Service was good too. I wasn't expecting the food to be as good as it was.

Service was quick and efficient, the vibe was great. Plenty of seating while waiting for our to go order. I liked they have pool tables and tvs as well. We ordered a chicken shawarma, lamb shawarma, home-fry style potato's and regal potato's. All 10/10! The veggies in the shawarma were crispy, sauce was delicious and portions were huge! Menu is small but I'll be back!! read more

Good atmosphere, good food, good service. I got the Lamb Shawarma and the napoleon cake. The shawarma was juicy and flavorful and packed with veggies! I did need a bit of heat so a few drops of Sriracha her and there does the trick. I recommend and will be back. Thank you! read more

You walk in and take your order at the stand. The girl was so friendly and patient since I didn't know what I wanted. The chicken shawarma is so fresh, and so tasty. You get the different textures from the fresh vegetables in there, and then taste the little bit of char on the chicken from the grill in the back. Mixed with the garlic aioli is phenomenal. The space is big with plenty of tables, and has 2 pool tables to play a couple games with family and friends. Can't wait to go back! read more

The best shawarma I've tried since moved to US. If you want a decent shawarma, def come to this place. The staff is also nice , 100% read more

I have never had a Shawarma before and I ordered the lamb. I found the portion huge and filled with tender lamb. They did not skimp on high quality ingredients. I didn't expect much in this corner strip mall but, walking inside proved me wrong. Greeted by a lovely lady and was told my order would take about 8-10 minutes. As I sat down and looked around, I found the interior decorations quite nice. I also reviewed the menu while I waited to see what else I may want to order on my next visit. I am a Bariatric patient so, breads/pastas/and other white flour items can sit hard on my stomach. The pita Lavash was a delight and airy. It is a low carb food so, it was easier for me to digest. I will be back to try different dishes. I hope you will as well!

Tacoma Shawarma - Menu - Kebab Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Y'all, this is not a Middle Eastern place, it's Slavic food. Really good Slavic food. We had the lamb shawarma, cheese wrap, pelmeni, and the country fries, and everything was delicious. Excited to have a Slavic place in Tacoma, much closer than Emish Market or Marvel! read more

Our daughter encouraged us to try Tacoma Shawarma. We could not have been more pleased. Very friendly "greeter" and both my wife and I had the Lamb Shawarma with country fries. The portion was huge and enough for two meals for both of us. (Yes, we took half of each of our portions home for another meal) Everything was so fresh and tasty, we both highly recommend trying this establishment. The photo shows 1/2 the Shawarma getting ready to box up and take home. read more

I was looking for shawarma that day and got to try a crispy lamb shawarma. It's different from your traditional shawarmas, with much larger portions and a crispy finish. I did takeout but the establishment looked like a great place to dine in with pool tables in the back. I'll be coming back and dining in next time. read more

I have never had Russian food and I really enjoyed my Lamb Shawarma! It was also massive with now I understand why it was $20. The country fries are just diced potatoes. Nothing special, but good. Inside is very nicely decorated and cute. They have pool tables which I thought was cool! If they sold alcohol here I'd def come drink and play pool. The lady who helped me was very sweet! read more

My husband was so excited to try this place out. My son and I got the beef shawarmas and my husband got the lamb. Unfortunately, me and my son's beef had so much grissle. Almost every bite had bits of hard grissle we had to pull out of our mouths. My husband took a few bites of his lamp shawarma, and didn't want any more. It was all very disappointing. The atmosphere although was very clean and inviting. The food however was not good in our opinion. read more

Great lamb shawarma, and a huge portion, we got just one to share between the two of us. There was no line on a summer Sunday noon, and plenty of indoor seating. read more

This place is a disgrace to shawarma. Everything is overpriced and the shawarma I got was probably one of the worst I've had in my life. If you are looking for real and authentic shawarma go to the Arab owned restaurants. No wonder this place was empty. Waste of $30. read more

A little on the pricy side but very delicious. Dumplings made fresh were simple but very well done. I would definitely try this place again!

Was looking for a spot to eat and found this place on yelp, ordered the chicken Shawarma and vareniki(not pictured). Everything was absolutely awesome, best shawarma i've tasted yet and vareniki reminded me of moms vareniki. Very good size portions, Open seating, billiards tables in the back and very polite workers. If you've never tried Shawarma before I definitely recommend it! read more

Food great, service so-so not very friendly lady at the counter. Price for 2 shawarma sandwiches and a pelmeni and 2 bottle waters came to $67 before tip. No sides come with it. Decide whether you want to spend that much for a meal with plastic silverware. read more

great foodies and service. being able to play pool while waiting for food was nice. environment was also nice, feels homie

Proper shawarma! Dynamite lamb with fries inside. Best shawarma I've had outside of the Middle East.

At first look at the menu I thought it was limited. And then I thought about the price. I took a chance on the chicken shawarma and was totally satisfied. The favor is outstanding. And the chicken was fresh. I don't get the cheese in a shawarma. Having visited the Middle East myself they don't use cheese. This place does . They have pool tables for entertainment. Should I go back I would have them hold the cheese. Overall I like this place. read more
