Shawarma In Town — Restaurant in Baytown

First off, THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! Hands down. Also, the man who is running the place (I assumed it was the owner) has to be one of the friendliest people I've met in Baytown. I'll explain why, I hit the gym religiously and I'm always concerned with hitting my macros so often times when I go out to eat at a restaurant, I over do it on how many items I order, usually ordering multiple plates for just myself. Every time I do that the restaurant staff never objects because the owner makes more money that way or the waiter gets a bigger tip due to a bigger bill. I know I do this and I know its a really bad habit. But today at Shawarma In Town, when I tried ordering one too many plates for myself the man running the restaurant said "no, that's too much" in a friendly way of course. He helped me decide on two really tasty dishes and assured me it would be enough and that I wouldn't need that 3rd dish. He was right, it was plenty of food and very satisfying saving my wallet some extra cash and me personally from embarrassment. It might not mean or seem like much to anyone else but I found it very respectable. The guy could have been greedy and easily taken me for all I had but he didn't and that meant everything to me. Then after my wife and I finished our meals we told the man how delicious everything was and asked for two desserts to-go. As I was walking over to the register to pay, he winked at me and said something along the lines of "no need, enjoy your dessert" I insisted to pay multiple times but he wouldn't take our money and said "next time" at that point I caved and accepted his generous offer. Took our baklava thanked him again for everything and left. It had to be one of the most wholesome experiences of my entire life. I guess that speaks more on the world we live in today more than anything. To end this review I just want to say, its the little things that count, the restaurant already checked all the boxes for the big things, food, presentation, location, etc. but it was the little things that just made it so much more. Thanks again Shawarma. Ill make sure to get your name next time, and we most certainly...

I tried this place for the first time on Sunday. I ordered the Kafka kebabs and the lamb shank online. When ordering online, the description says the Kafka kebabs come with two kebabs. Then it gives you the option to pick two sides. Same with the lamb shank. Once i selected it, it gave me the option to pick two sides. When i picked up my order, the owner told me that their website is messed up and that the lamb shank only comes with rice, and there’s only one kebab in the kebab meal. I wasn’t very happy about that because as new customer, how am i supposed to know that? As a courtesy, the owner gave me a “complimentary” sauce for the rice and a side salad. He wouldn’t give me the two sides I’d ordered. The lettuce in the salad was literally wilting and turning brown. The kebabs were dry and flavorless. Even with the sauce, the kebabs were not good. The lamb shank was tastey, but only comes with rice. Disappointing. And each of the sides are $7 for a small portion which i think is overpriced. Overall, i wouldn’t order here again because of the misinformation on the website and because the food simply...

I almost regret even writing this because every place I give a glowing review to becomes so insanely busy and I can never get back into the place again.

Shawarma in Town is probably the biggest secret in Baytown that I have discovered anyway. My wife and I went there this evening for the first time. The lady running the place was very warm and inviting, she was patient with us knowing we were new to the establishment.

As with every place there is the good and the bad. The good... Well the food and the staff. The gyro and the chicken wrap was out of this world. Very flovorfull but in no way over powering. The Shawarma roasting fills the place with a inviting smell. The Bad... The floors were sticky and the menus we used were dirty to the touch. Full disclosure we arrived with less than an hour left in the business day.

But with all that said. If your from Baytown this place across the street from Sterling Highschool next to the old Pizza Hut. Swing by pick up a Gyro or two eat it fresh.

We will absolutely be back another day. Thank you so much Shawarma in Town for an authentic...
