Original Shawarma

I am picky when it comes to shawarma, especially because people can overcook the chicken and it can become dry. This place made sure the chicken was moist, fresh, and the meals were saucy enough. I rate this place a 10/10 truly. Ambiance: the interior was nice with nice decoration. It was clean and it's enough space for families. Service: the employees were nice and the food came quickly. Food: Chicken Shawarma Arabi: 9/10. It is a very safe option for everyone. It tasted nice and the chicken absorbed the sauce beautifully. It also came with fries and extra sauce. The fries were seasoned very well. Chicken rocket sandwich: 8/10. I liked this item a lot. The bread on the outside was toasted very well but it wasn't too hard. The inside was the same shawarma, very nice and juicy. It had a little bit too much garlic sauce in it, so you can scrape it out yourself if it's too much. It was still a very good sandwich and I would get it again. Chicken shawarma volcano: 10+/10. Now this one was the best in my opinion. It's basically like a chicken shawarma quesadilla but way better. It had melted cheese inside. It came with garlic sauce on the side and if you dip it in the flavors in your mouth will explode. It's also super easy to eat and a great option for kids and adults alike. They say it's "spicy" (it's not really spicy, but it added more flavor which is perfect). I crave this everyday. Lentil Soup: this is a good lentil soup. Blended well and it felt nice eating it during the winter time. Kafta Plate: 8/10. The kafta plate was good as well. It was better than average, because I have had some kafta that were not good. This was moist, cooked very well. The rice had a specific spice flavor which I personally dont my enjoy, but I know everyone usually likes. The bread the plate came with had a spicy filling which was really good. Price: the total for 4 things came around $65. It's a pretty good average price and everything came with fries too. 5 people went to eat and we had leftovers so we could've gotten 3 things instead of 4. Overall, I really recommend this shawarma place.

The shawarma is very classic. You can get it with Saj (really thin bread wrap), with Arabic pita, or with hoagie bread. I chose the Arabic pita and it was quite thin and made for a great wrap. It was easy to tear the paper wrapper at the top and pull it down to access the next bite. The beef was cut thin and had a great ratio of tahini/garlic sauce mixed in so it was noticeable with each bite. There were a few onion slivers too, but nothing else. I got a combo meal with french fries and a soda. The fries were crinkle style and had a little bit of spices tapped on top. They were fine, but I would have preferred my fries without any seasoning because I have to cut down on salt and most seasoning mixes have salt included unfortunately. A side container of the tahini/garlic mix was provided, but my sandwich didn't need it and I didn't like my fries without any seasoning it. Each table had a ketchup bottle. Mine was empty, so I nabbed one from a neighbor table. The top of the container was a mess with ketchup all over. Not appealing, but I rolled with the punches and squeezed some out on my butcher paper placemat for dipping my fries. They have a choice of the Mexican Coca Cola or the US ones. The Mexican cola comes in glass bottles. They automatically served me a can Coca Cola. I would have been fine with either choice, but frankly I wasn't asked my preference. The place is casual and relaxing with nice, comfortable seating. It is nice enough to come and hangout for a meal with friends or family. Nicer than a lot of fast food places. It's a bit of a drive for me, so I doubt I'll be back, but it is a nice option for a quick lunch or dinner if you happen to be in the area.

Yes!!!! So great, I came twice in 2 days!This is the flavor & style Shawarma that I've been longing for. Since moving to Dallas a few years ago, I'd tried many shawarma & gyro places looking for the cuisine similar to that in the Seattle area, a restaurant there had the most amazing garlic sauce. (It was called garlic crush, and I dream of it) Well I've finally found a place that does this same type of garlic sauce. And the lamb/beef, hummus, the lentil soup, it's all really authentic and packed with flavor. I love it here! It tastes amazing and the staff is super kind and welcoming too. So far I've had the soup, hummus with meat, and chicken shawarma platter. The whole family loved it. Perfect for dine in or takeout. Not like those other low quality places. This is the real thing. Yay!

I had their chicken shawarma on saj bread and loved it! The bread was crispy and the shawarma itself was incredibly saucy. Fries were great as well. I was very confused by the corn in the slaw, can't say I've had that at other shawarma places. Definitely go give this place a try!

Love this new shawarma spot in plano! You gotta try the chicken shawarma sandwich!! Super flavorful and full of chicken and garlic sauce yumm!! The fries also add a nice touch. We also enjoyed the koobideh plate that comes with side of soup or salad so we got the lentil soup and tasted perfection with the pita chips. They don't cheap out on the garlic sauce which is how every place should be instead of always charging extra. The owner is super friendly and the servers were bringing food and cleaning inna timely manner.It's a casual spot with plastic utensils so nothing fancy but the seating was super comfy and decor was cute!I'll def be back soon!

Food, Service, and Ambiance are all on point. This was our second visit. Mom and I loved it so much during soft opening that we decided to come back for lunch today. We were the first patrons shortly after opening at 11AM and kindly greeted with a smile by Mostafa and Ibrahim upon entering. On this visit, we ordered Falafel (the best I have found in DFW imo) and shared the Chicken Shawarma Bowl and Kafta Kabab Plate. Both the Chicken and Kababs were perfect in texture, temperature, balance of flavors and continued until the very last bite. The briney-ness and fermented taste of the pickles contrasted very well with and complemented the rice, salad, pita, and hummus. The Lentil Soup was perfectly creamy, well-seasoned, and satisfying to the palate. We knew we would be boxing the remainder to take home well before we ordered, so it was to be expected. The portions here are more than generous and the prices are reasonable and well in line with what we would feel comfortable paying without compromising on quality. Not only is the meat Halal; it is moist and flavorful and gives me vibes reminiscent of my Middle East childhood. IYKYK. Mostafa and Ibrahim also gave us some hummus and pita on the house which was divine. We have lived in the DFW Area for 23 years and honestly haven't experienced anything that has come close to Original Shawarma. We have added this place to our list of restaurant rotations and will be regulars here going forward.

Food was very good and Authentic. We tried a variety including Beef Shwarma, chicken Schwarma, falafel, hummus, babaghanoush, fries, baklava. Yes, a mini feast. It was all very tasty. Will return

Easy 5 stars. This place has without a doubt the best falafel in all of DFW! Absolutely fantastic. From scratch and authentic. The real thing! The mixed platter is also pretty pretty delicious. They do put this spicy chili paste inside the pita bread that comes with the mixed platter that takes it from great to amazing! When I picked up my order, the actually got some of it wrong. When I pointed it out they were so graciously apologetic and sent me home with some free baklava and salad. A very nice touch from a very lovely staff. Can't wait to come back.

I am a very difficult person to please with shawarma. I eaten it almost daily while in school living in Middle East. So is this the same? No it's not, it's upgraded version :-)It was delicious. Babaganoush meh, tasteless, would order it again. Lamb kebab was good, wish it was presented on skewers, just me.But Shawarma is great in fact I am craving it right now lol Inside is simple but pleasant, it feel like a join that you don't come to for a long time but a good time :-)

We certainly didn't have the positive experience others had. Falafels were good, rest of the food we tried was below average compared to others serving up the same food. Ordered takeout which was challenging because they don't have an online menu that describes the items. No idea what the $14 chicken shawarma volcano was but ordered it... basically a shawarma quesadilla with only chicken and cheese, and tasted really strange and not good. . The hummus with beef was served with no pita no veg nothing to eat it with. The restaurant was packed. I stood at the counter for ten minutes before someone became free enough to hand me my order that had been sitting there just feet away.
