Shawarma Guys

I was SHOOK at how delicious this place actually is.As someone with Lebanese/Syrian/Armenian roots, I have high standards when it comes to any middle eastern food and restaurant. Most places skimp on the flavor and spices to appease the "western" palette, while others are lazy in the process of crafting the foods with the traditions that are needed to uphold quality.Shawarma Guys not only keeps that flavor profile and preparation standards, but they also elevate it to a whole new level for Californians and foodies in general.Staff was super friendly and offered great recommendations. First up - the Wagyu Shawarma Egg Rolls.WOW. WOW. WOW.The egg rolls are SO crunchy and crispy, and great sized. They are FILLED with juicy, crispy, soft flavorful shawarma meat, plenty of cheese, and the toum is perfection. Seriously, I could eat these every day.Now for the California shawarma. I had no idea this thing was the size of a baby burrito, honestly I couldn't even finish it after eating the egg rolls, but man it was so damn good I would've finished it if I wasn't on my way to an event. This was filled with chicken shawarma, fries, lettuce, pickles, rice, garlic paste, tortila. Although it was excellent, I think it would be even more excellent with the beef shawarma. The chicken was soft and flavorful, the rice was amazing, crispy fries, fresh veggies, crunchy pickles, and again that amazing garlic paste. Seriously, this place is a must on anyone's SD food visits.

Came on a lucky Saturday and no lines! I lived west Asia for years so I had really high hopes for this place and expected nothing but the best but honestly I was let down. Was the food good? YES, it good but not great or something astronomical. The meat was pretty dry and salty and everything just didn't mash well. Service was really fast nevertheless

Been wanting to try this place for awhile. Monday night crew was friendly and fast! Food was out in about 5 minutes. I got a pita wrap, and friends got plates. The plates were the way to go. For me, the pita wasn't what I expected - thin and a bit dry/crispy in places. However the meat was tasty, as was the tabouleh. Street parking in the neighborhood is easy enough. There was a standing table, but expect to take food elsewhere (two parks within 5 min drive are great options).

We kept hearing how great Shawarma Guys is and we finally tried it the other day. Maybe it was too much hype but I didn't think it was so great. The Shawarma beef and chicken were tender and tasty but the rest of the plate tasted like they were premade and left out for a while. The pitas were especially bad, stale, and store bought. The service and staff were friendly and fast. Maybe we came near their closing hours but their food quality should never be aligned with their hours of operations. They should always be at their highest quality.

Second time here and I brought my husband. We both loved it , got the plate combo beef and chicken and it did not disappoint super flavorful. It's just takeout but there's plenty of parks nearby to head to for a picnic.

I love their food but I suggest them to carefully pack the food. I had it delivered and it was so soggy.Salad dressing should be in the side and if you throw things on the top of the salad it will make it soggy too.

I've been hearing nothing but great things about this place for years + I finally made it over to try it for myself. Let me tell you to RUN, not walk to this place!!! Omg, it was so freaking good! My first time I went I tried the half + half plate with the waygu beef + chicken shawarma. The second time I got the chicken cream chop plate. The shawarma meats were so flavorful + tender. The friend chicken was breaded + fried to perfection. The lemon garlic paste/sauce is absolutely to die for! I will say I've had better pita bread before, but that's literally the only "negative" thing I have to say. 10/10 would absolutely recommend!I went to the food truck both times but I'm excited to try the La Mesa location soon. Those cheesesteaks look amazing!

Tried the Wagyu Beef Shawarma Plate the other day. I had really high expectations due to the other reviews. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but not something I would often crave for. Wished they drizzled more of their signature garlic paste on the meat. Service was super quick. We got our order within 5 mins. If I were to return I would just take it back to my car and eat it in the car or take it home to eat. Total 3.5 stars.

so bomb.com literally cried eating my hummus and rice. so kind and friendly and the BEST food. could not even yap with my friends while eating it was that good.

Evelyn served us and it was great! Quick service and kind employees. Food was delicious and I will be returning!
