Shawarma Shack Albany GA — Restaurant in Albany

So if you don't know what it is supposed to taste like then you will think it is good. But I know what it should taste like and this ain't it. Folks if you want shawarma or falafel Or kabob make it at home it's not hard but it's not a last minute thing either. You'll get way better flavors and quantity and achieve the actual Mediterranean taste. I only made the shawarma platters from home a few times and my 2 adult kids and 2 teens agree mine was way better. Very disappointed in this place.

If I could give it zero stars, I would. Actually, I’d like a refund and an apology from whoever decided this was acceptable to serve to humans.

Avoid this place like it's cursed. Because honestly? It...

Well lit and clean on both sides of the counter. The service was prompt and my food was made to order, so it was about a 15 min wait after my order was placed. I tried the double platter, with beef and chicken, fries, amd rice with a side of fried okra. The drink was extra and decided to eat in the mall food court. The fried okra was well seasoned and cooked slightly crispy and tasted good. The beef and chicken was very salty, and I am not sure if it is naturally salty or if it was because I was given pieces that fell off while cutting larger slices. The pickles were different but tasty and the fries were also good. This is my first experience at a Lebanese establishment. I will return to try a few other items...
