Rotana Elsham Shawarma

I wish I'd ordered in advance because they do take their time preparing food Okay let me start over (I wrote that before I ate)This place is so legitThe garlic sauce is beyond tasty I cannot pick whether I preferred the beef or chicken - they were both so goodThe saj bread was so tasty, soft, and satisfying I'm not even a French fry fan but their fries are soooooooooooooo delicious I loved the texture, the fry on them, and the seasoning they used on itSo satisfying and warm It was cold but that was part of the adventure.. can't wait for them to get a well deserved storefront

Went after a concert an hour away from home and decided to grab something before I headed back. This place looked promising!I put the location in my GPS.This is most likely user error, but it took me a couple of tries to find the location/truck because I would drive closer to a nearby In-N-Out. They are located a street behind the In-N-Out.Once I found it there was no one in line, and there were people eating their food at some of the chairs/seats set up outside the food truck.I ordered my food, and got a drink that the person who took my order recommended.I ordered the double arabi mix with a side of fries and a Vimto.Vimto was not my favorite, but I still drank it.It did not take long for me to receive my food.I did not eat it right away, and drove home first.No complaints with the food at allI loved every bite of the arabi mix with garlic sauce!.

We found this place on yelp and drove from Irvine to try it out. It's a food truck and the Shawarma was amazing. It was worth the drive and worth the wait staff is very friendly. The food is served very warm and hot and the quality of meat was excellentLet's try

Update:Not sure if they've always used tortillas for the shawarma wraps...but this message is for the owner, if you're listening, please use Arabic bread or at least offer the option. Thank you.

Coming from a middle eastern background, my family and I tend to be very selective when it comes to finding a good shawarma place in California. I can confirm, this is one of the best spots I've tried and a current favorite that I continue to crave! Chicken shawarma plate was absolutely delicious, and their garlic sauce is just the perfect texture. Fries came out piping hot and well seasoned as well. My family got their beef shawarma, which is delicious as well. I would just remember that they use lamb fat to cook the beef and hence will have a different aftertaste. We got there right when they opened, and the workers got straight to work and had everyone's food out as soon as possible. The owner is a very nice guy too, and I hope they get to expand and I'll be able to continually support :)

They're rude sometimes. The portions got smaller in recent weeks. The food is good so you kind of have to take your wins and losses.

Decided to come here after work to get some Mediterranean food. Saw the amazing reviews so I wanted to check it out for myself. I love a good Shawarma wrap or plate. I got two wraps. The beef and chicken. Ok these are pretty damn good not gonna lie. The portion size is perfect, the meat is juicy, the veggies inside are fresh and crisp and the tortilla is the perfect texture. Not plain and doughy, and not over grilled but it's just the right texture for that perfect wrap. And the sauce inside is also perfect. Amazing wraps. I liked the chicken a little better than the beef but both are good. The seasoning and flavor of the chicken wrap just did it for me. NOTE: There is no real seating here except two small tables outside with a few chairs. I came late night and it was cold outside so I got a seat. I was sitting there alone freezing my ass off eating delicious wraps! Highly recommend if you like Shawarma like me.

Wow! The shawarma is the Syrian style and let me tell you, it's good! They also have other options like fries and falafel too! They also have two garlic options regular and spicy garlic. The wait is worth it! Nothing like a hot and flavorful made on the spot! Definitely coming back!

A delightful surprise. We were recommended this place by a few people and it did not disappoint. The menu is limited to beef and chicken shwarmas. I'd recommend trying the 'arabi' style with a choice of chicken and beef ('Shawarma Arabi - mix'), which is perfect for two. The shwarmas were pretty authentic. The people were also great. There is a small shaded area with some tables and chairs if you wish to eat right there. There was a steady stream of people picking up food from here so it seems like it is a popular spot, deservedly. The place can be a little tricky to find. The map will tell you to turn into the street where Chic fil A is. If you take the turn into the first parking lot behind Chic Fil A is, you'll see the food truck parked at the end of the parking lot. If we are in Costa Mesa/ Santa Ana area, we'll be sure to be back.

Literally the best shawarma I had since I moved to the States. The best Shami Shawarma in the states so far
