it was actually a detour, i don't have any plans on going there whatsoever, but since i had the opportunity, why not drop by the place and buy some authentic shawarma, right? i saw a video about it on facebook and they said that the shawarma there's really nice and since i love shawarma, it is a must-go! lol i was excited until i went to the place, no it's not bad, it's just that i didn't expect it to be a whole a$$ restaurant and i thought it's just an order to-go place lol i got nervous then, but the staffs are so nice and accommodating, even telling me that there's more seat upstairs. i went upstairs and it's just more awkward than when i was downstairs, so i went back and asked if i can be seated outside since im only ordering just one shawarma and be done with it. the kind gentleman told me that it's better inside and actually offered the seat in the corner, perfect for my awkward introverted as$ lol (please don't judge me i went there alone ahaha) i ordered their shawarma meal that consists of the shawarma itself and some fries with a coke drink. if you want water, it's a different purchase. the shawarma itself is really waaaay different from what we've used to eat at turk's. although it's not as salty(it's kinda bland for my tongue) but it's not bad either. it has its own distinct taste. the sauces are unlimited as well so you can put as much of it as you want! i loved it! (white sauce and chili sauce) i just don't know what's the red spice in the onions but i think that's what gave it a unique taste compared to the usual shawarma out there. it's not spicy so it's definitely not just chili powder, i like it tho~ they actually got my order wrong (gave me chicken instead of beef) but they hurriedly replaced it with the one i actually want! even though i've already bitten on it. kudos 👌🏻👍 will i come back? absolutely! and with friends as well 💕 i will definitely come back because i think i didnt enjoy my stay there to the fullest.

I used to come here between 2007-2009. I remember it to be delicious. Surrounded by some natives and pinoys puffing some shisha. And so it was nice to be back mid month of January 2023. We ordered Shawarma, Beef Shawarma Biryani, Yogurt and Hummus. Ambiance: They remodel the place. It looks clean & a touch of authenticity of Mediterranean touch esp from the outside of the restk. You'll see some Indians, Arabs & other middle eastern eating in the place. Take out counter is outside but they have to queue to pay inside. Quite impractical. Service: I won't say it's bad but I won't say it's excellent. Since we arrive at a time wherein a lot of customers are inside & outside the resto. Waiters deliver & take orders only. You won't feel any warmth. Just plain job. I am not sure if they don't have enough manpower during that time or they were trained to not care much. Some of them at least those whom I had encounter with aren't familiar with the menu & the displayed items. Food: Hummus: Highly recommended! Super delicious. I love it! Affordable too as the hummus comes with two pita breads. You can request for olive oil which was pretty dope. I like their pita bread. Beef Shawarma: Beef was tasty. Fresh ingredients. Garlic sauce wasn't garlicky. I missed the oil Garlic sauce they used to have. Beef Shawarma Biryani Rice: Love the biryani rice. You'll taste the herbs. The spicy sauce & the garlic sauce were lacking of taste. Really. Quite disappointing. They are supposed to up the taste of the food. But no. Not at all. It turns out the old taste are too old to stay. 😣 I tried the ones in BF Homes, oh my terrible taste. And that's what's prompted me to actually go to the main branch to compare the quality. Apparently, their system failed. The beef there tasted that it was just reheated it didnt taste anything like the main branch. Yogurt: Highly commendable. Soooo love it! Price point: Affordable. Can't complain about that aspect.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Shawarma Snack Center, and I was not disappointed. The food was delicious, the portions were large, and the service was excellent. The shawarma was made with fresh ingredients and was bursting with flavor. The meat was tender and juicy, and the vegetables were crisp and refreshing. The bread was soft and fluffy, and it held everything together perfectly. The portions were so large that I could barely finish my meal. I was so full that I had to take the rest home for lunch the next day. The staff was very friendly and attentive. They made sure that I had everything I needed and that my meal was to my satisfaction. Overall, I had a great experience at Shawarma Snack Center. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a delicious and satisfying meal. Pros: * Delicious food * Large portions * Friendly staff * Clean and inviting atmosphere * Easy to get to * Moderate prices Cons: * None Overall Rating: 5/5 I would definitely eat at Shawarma Snack Center again. It is one of the best Shawarma stores I have ever been to.

First time we tried the food here! We have Muslims with us so we really went and searched for halal restaurant and good thing we found this place! Food: we only ordered Biryani 😆 Chicken, lamb and beef Biryani. It comes with place of refreshing vegetables to clean the palate and a sauce for biryani. It tasted authentic! The meats (all of them) we're so soft and juicy! Especially the lamb it really melts in your mouth. We did try the seafood platter but it was nothing special 😅 Staff: very accommodating! They immediately seat us (there were 15 people more or less) gave us the vegetables, drinks and utensils right after! Then within minutes the 4 big platters of biryani was served. It was so fast I totally didn't feel like we waited at all. Athmosphere: there's many foreign people, probably Muslims, since this was a highly rated by Muslim friends of ours and I totally get why. Overall this was the best place I've had Biryani and would come back for that!

We had a great lunch here because the smell, the ambiance and of course the food is authentic. What we ordered: Mixed Grilled with Biryani Rice - The beef kebab, chicken tikka in biryani rice are the bomb! Not to mention the grilled juicy tomato that comes with it. It is a must order! Fish And Chips - It is good. Although the fries (chips) are soggy. Special and Extra Special Shawarma - The combination of garlic sauce and hot sauce is so flavorful that the shawarma you get from the mall food court or kiosk is incomparable. One thing to note though, the size of the shawarma is small relative to the price and maybe it's just me, but the extra special shawarma (the one with fries) is not for me. Or maybe because the fries are soggy. But all in all, I really liked it and will definitely come back for the other items in their menu.

The food is very good and tastes authentic. I visited this place twice always with a friend who stayed in middle east for years and they said the food is really close to what they usually eat back then. The chicken shawarma is the main pick for me. You'd think the serving is small at first bite but half way through the shawarma is really filled with meat, fries and pickles. The best part - condiments available at the tables that they'll always refill. They have a wide range of choices from shawarma, biryani, classic hummus, and desserts. The ambiance of the place is average. They accept Gcash and card payments. You'll go back to this place solely for the food I would say. A must try!
