Royal Wraps

We saw an article about Royal Wraps in the LVRJ and the food sounded good so we gave it a shot on a Friday evening for dinner. We were NOT disappointed as the food was delicious!We ordered the beef and lamb shawarma, the falafel pita, another side of falafel, a side of rice and a side of fries. The shawarma was very well seasoned with distinct Mediterranean spices - so good! The pita was fresh and the garlic tahini sauce inside was a great complement to the tender meat. That sauce was so delicious I honestly could have drank it by itself. The falafel was super tender. They clearly make it fresh in-house which is more than I can say about some other places in the valley. My wife is very picky about falafel and she loved it - enough said!The rice and fries were good - could've used a little more seasoning on each but still good quality. Many of the lower rated Yelp reviews I've seen of Royal Wraps reference the portion sizes. While I would agree that the price point here is a little bit higher than many counter service restaurants it's important to understand that higher quality, fresh ingredients cost money and you are definitely getting what you pay for here.

This place had good reviews on Yelp and I wanted to eat something light and this was the perfect place! I was stuck between getting the wrap or the salad and the guy was so sweet and offered me a side salad so I can try both! Definitely recommend this place because it was so yummy!!!

Is there a new king of Middle Eastern food in town?*dramatic pause*Royal Wraps is a fairly new restaurant that may indeed offer Lebanese food in particular (see comment in entree discussion). They opened up some time this past summer, and I'd made eye contact with the place while making occasional trips to a nearby French cafe, but it took an impromptu lunch trip for me to make a spot. Oh, and the cafe was closed today.Inside is the counter for placing your order and a smattering of mostly small tables. The cashier greeted me, asked whether it was my first time, and mentioned that they're redesigning their menu and that they now offer bowls and quesadillas in addition to the salads and wraps.I was doing takeout, so I decided to keep it simple by going with the Beef & Lamb Shawarma Wrap ($12.00). It's rolled in a flatbread that's much thinner than a typical pita and then sliced in half and oddly wrapped with two smaller aluminum foil squares. When you bit into it though, juicy and tender meat with some obvious fatty bits - always a plus in my book - are present in every bite. The wrap is all that is needed to contain the filling, so it's not heavy overall with the presence of fries. The creamy tarator sauce (it's apparently a Lebanese tahini) has a fun citrusy aspect, although I'm not familiar enough to discern whether additional spices were used. Watch out for spillage and try to unwrap the paper slowly as you proceed; I may have learned this the hard way.I don't think it's this 5 star perfection which a lot of Yelpers seem to give too freely though. The fries especially are not fluffy or crispy, just a bunch of non-texturally-contributing soft starch. I also disdain the presence of ketchup packets included in my bag because it's such a strong flavor and doesn't feel appropriate at all to the culture. I refused to try adding ketchup to the shawarma on principle, and the Internet largely seems to agree with me.Frankly, I haven't tried enough comparable foods to have a strong opinion. However, Royal Wraps is certainly a good fast casual spot that interprets these dishes differently than the more popular Greek restaurants. Give them a try if you're in the area.

This place was ok. I'd say it's 3-3.5 stars. The shawarma wrap was a bit small, but it's not priced terribly as $12. The chicken was pretty bland and lacked flavor, didn't really pack a punch. The garlic sauce was not too strong, which is a plus, but it was totally carrying all the flavor in the wrap. The fries were soggy and didn't add much. It also had lettuce in here which didn't really help. The pickles were fire. The fries were not great. It was seasoned but lacked salt. Not worth the $4.

My friends had a huge birthday party & ordered a variety of wraps & they were all DELICIOUS! Fresh ingredients, each individually wrapped & everyone at the party loved them! I recommend ROYAL WRAPS for lunch or a party! They are DELICIOUS!

I'm very critical about food specially if it represents my culture, I think it has to be as close as it can be to home! And I'm literally sitting down at Royal Wraps writing this review, as I am waiting for my second beef/lamb shawarma sandwich. I freaking impressed! Finally I found a great place that makes a delicious shawarma wrap. I'm in heavens, really tasty food, I highly recommend this place.

This place was okay but it was a little over price for smaller portions..I asked for tahini on the side and the cashier said they don't have tahini which I thought was weird because it came with me salad. The place is pretty small so probably better for take out then dine in.

Absolutely amazing wraps. I tried both the chicken and the beefand both were great. The flavors are fantastic and the prices are very reasonable. Space is clean and the service is as great, I Will definitely be back.

Ordered two chicken shawarma wraps, my wife only ate a half and I ate the whole thing, which I regretted later. Was pretty disappointed in the value for $28.Two pretty skimpy wraps, they said it's thigh meat but found it to be dry. The fries inside didn't add any flavor, just filler and dryness. And the outer wrap was dry as well. So it was a dry wrapper with dry meat, flavorless fries and lettuce.The worst thing about it was the garlic sauce, because not only is it too strong, but it's made with jarred garlic which I hate the artificial flavor of vs fresh garlic. Hate to bag on this place because clearly times are tough and they don't look like they're getting much business, but wish there were more realistic reviews so I could have saved the money. Sorry... not for me.

To preface this review, I am married to an authentic Turkish woman, and have been for many years. I know what authentic middle eastern food should taste like. I'll list the best Halal Middle Eastern restaurant in town in my opinion.MY RECOMMENDATION: Maza Mediterranean grill. As for my thoughts on Royal Wraps. The fries, were over seasoned with pepper and other seasoning. It's all you taste. You barely taste the French fry. The Wrap: the meat is dry.. and is not cooked like a Doner really is. When you cook vertical rotisserie style meats in the Middle East, it comes off moist, and melt in your mouth.This meat is seasoned just like any other Greek restaurant in town and is dry. I'd they're comparing to Canadian Donair, its roots are still fused with the Middle East. The meat should not be dry if properly cooked.Needless to say, I will not order here again.If you want authentic Manti, Doner, Lamachun, lamb or other types of Kabab meat? Go to Maza. Not to this disgrace.
