  • Family Meal Value: For a gathering of four or more, try the Family Style Shawarma—an abundance of wrap-filled goodness perfect for sharing, all for $57.50.
  • Customer Favorites: Many patrons have highlighted the incredibly flavorful experience of the chicken shawarma platter and the generous hospitality of the staff.

    The food was AWESOME!!! The shawarma is not oily to the point you can’t eat even three bites. The shawarma tastes exactly like shawarma from Jordan. I’m definitely coming back. The kind employee even gave me free pickles to enjoy. I KNOW u guys will have a great time here. Plus, the wait time was very little. We got the family shawarma for a group of 7 of us. We had a great feast and we almost finished all of it because it’s that good.
