This is hands down the best falafel I've had in Hampton Roads, and in my top 3 of falafels I've had anywhere ever. I've been on a search for some really good falafel and Mediterranean food since it is one of my favorite cuisines, so I'm happy that I found this restaurant in Norfolk. I had the falafel in a pita, which was very soft and chewy. It was a big portion and I packed it in with eggplant, veggies, and hummus. I wasn't too much of a fan of the eggplant, but the falafel stands out on it's own so it still tasted great. The atmosphere is fast casual. The service was great and the woman preparing my order was fast. There were plenty of tables to sit indoors, even though there was a good amount of people coming in during the lunch rush. I would for sure recommend this to anyone looking for easy, great Mediterranean food.

When walking in the atmosphere is cafeteria style with modern decore seating. You know I love the concept cafeteria style! You get to chose what fixings you want in your bowl, wrap or pita. I chose the pita with beef & lamb, and so surprised how huge the it was. Definitely tasty! I also ordered the fried eggplant, but was just a little salty for my taste. The side peppers was nice added bonus. I would come back if ever in the area, but sorta spoiled at my local spot.

Well well well....it has been a minute since Sophia and I stopped by. This has been one of our favorite places in Hampton Roads to eat at. We've never had a bad experience dining in or ordering takeout. So we decided to pop right in and see how things were. And there were a few changes that were noticeable.As always, ordering was quick and easy. Basically, you go up and select either a pita, bowl or wrap. Both of us selected a pita. My choice of protein was beef and lamb along with hummus and Jalapeno schug, rice, eggplant, sour cabbage salad, cucumber tomato salad, Italian parsley, pickles and garlic sauce along with a side of fries. Just like many times, we were not disappointed with our meal and were pretty full.Why only a 4-star rating? Even though the vive was casual like before the speed of service was normal, there were noticeable changes. They changed the seats, which were a little getting used to. The tables were different as well. Also, their flatscreen TV was missing. And the sign on the wall which said 'It Always Starts With a Great Pita!' was gone. I take it they were still in the process of renovating since one of their bathrooms was being repaired (the other one is vastly different from the last time we were here). I do hope they bring that sign back soon. Other than that, our visit was normal. You can't beat leaving with a full stomach. We'll be back the next time we're in the area :)

Finally I was able to swing by this past weekend and it was exactly what I thought it would be. I got the lamb and beef shawarma bowl with everything on it. Even the eggplant which I was nervous about was pretty good. I may tell them light eggplant next time because I'm not a huge fan of the larger piece's texture. The falafel was the best I've ever had! The outside was crispy but the inside was so moist, fragrant, and just a great addition to the meal. All of the food was fresh, and flavorful. Speedy service, clean, simplistic atmosphere; I can't wait to come back!

Fantastic food, really great for a change of pace. Service is very nice and fast. Having the meat on a vertical spit that they shave off in front of you really lets you know you're getting quality ingredients. Coming back here absolutely! Ambiance is casual nice.

The food here is amazingly good, but it is a little expensive. I am a big lamb person, and the shwarma was extra juicy. They gave us a good amount of hot peppers, which were a lot saltier than I thought it would be: more salty than pickled vinegar flavor. The hummus and grilled eggplant and vegetables were amazing with the lamb and beef. The fries on the side were a lot more greasy than I like and less crispy, but it went really well with the bowl. I really appreciated the pita bread that came with the bowl because it paired really well with everything combined.I can eat the whole bowl in one sitting. It's a good size bowl, and they stuffed my fiance's wrap. It was wrapped pretty well. The staff is very nice, and they are more than happy to give you more of something if you ask. Parking is across the street, just a minute walk.

This establishment is simply outstanding. Every ingredient tasted remarkably fresh, expertly seasoned to perfection. The swift service is commendable, and despite its location on a bustling street, ample parking right in front adds to the convenience. The handmade pita, crafted on-site in small, frequent batches, is a testament to their dedication to quality. With its relaxed ambiance and self-service setup, it's the perfect spot for a casual yet delectable dining experience.

Yet another delicious lunch at Mr. Shawarma. I had my go to lamb and beef pita. The service was quick and very polite. Generous portions and you can go wrong. Love the garlic sauce topping my pita. Don't forget they offer a military discount!

Been coming here since they opened. Today I encountered the rudest employee ever. She was so disrespectful that I will not come back if she's working and may never come back. We ordered a kids meal and asked to add chick peas and she said she couldn't do that. So I asked to pay she said no. Then we got our food and sat down and our fries are cold which normally never happens. So I asked for new fries and she said no again. I had to ask three times for hot fries. This is unacceptable. I have attached a picture of the employee and I hope she can be trained on customer service
