Customer Reviews
I order here both through delivery and pickup and the food is delicious, however they are quite inconsistent with their portions. When ordering delivery and selecting extra toum, they typically underfill the toum containers and sometimes add only one extra container, even if you have requested two. I suggest going in person to make sure that they properly fulfill requests for extra sauce. In the photo below, I asked for extra pickles, but there were hardly any at all. Despite that, we love the chicken shawarma here. We just wish that they were more consistent!
First off, it was hard to find this place because their location has changed but has not been updated . The food tasted ok, nice presentation of the salad, but after eating this food, my stomach started feeling really bad. I was on the toilet non stop for about a day! I spent almost $50 for food poisoning, thanks Shwarmamaji, I’ll never come back!!!! Unfortunately, this is a real review! An honest review! Perhaps check your address and update on Google Maps and Apple Maps, mmmmkay?! Soo is your correct address 2100 Franklin ? Or is it somewhere else like I said? 🤭🤨 like 2190 Franklin?!
As a former owner of a similar establishment, I can honestly say this is one of the best shawarmas I’ve ever had! They pack it with so much meat—they really don't hold back. The branding and the product itself are top-notch; these guys have everything it takes to take over the fast-food market. There are sometimes lines out the door during lunch, but it’s absolutely worth the wait. My own shawarma only had them beat on the sauces, but they outdid me in every other way. 10 out of 10!
Found this place after a concert and wow, glad we did. Food was awesome, and the portion was huge. My regret is we were not able to take the leftover shawarma fries with us. Put the hot sauce on, you’ll thank me. The rice pudding was top notch.
Food is good but it is an absolute HIT or MISS. I’ve been to Shawarmaji 4-5 times and it’s been about a 50% hit rate on if it’s good or not. They lack consistency in quality of meat. Sometimes it is very tender and good, other times it is basically inedible with connective tissue and gristle. Toum sauce is very good! Service is always good, restaurant is clean, and beverage selection is top notch. I’d say give it a try but don’t get your hopes up.
