As the other reviews mentioned, this place is decently good and authentic. I ended getting the #3 original beef shawarma combo and it didn’t disappoint in the freshness and unique flavor! The garlic sauce which I suspect he made himself, was too good. Very different then your fast food joints and there’s no comparison to how legit this is if you wanted to compare this to other shawarma places around Pensacola. There might be better places like this in the Middle East, but within the area it’s hands down the best!
Mohanned* the owner and cook tells me he’s been perfecting his craft since he was a kid and now has his own food truck style setup. For only being around for 6 weeks, he’s seen a spike in new customers making him sold out by late afternoon on most days. As I waited for the food to be prepared, Mohanned was personable and liked to talk on subjects like Anime, passion for culture and craft, and sharing his goal to open up his own restaurant in the future, not just for monetary reasons, but more importantly to share his love for his native food as I can genuinely tell. So all in all, it’s no wonder people are spreading the word and leaving reviews like this cause he’s just an all around cool guy who serves an amazing sandwich!
Not only did I get some delicious food and recommend his place above others, but I made a new friend in the process. Like we discussed as Mohanned was preparing my meal, it’s not about the destination, but more about the journey and the people we meet along the way with the cool experiences we get to share. I’ll certainly be back again anytime I get the chance!...
Read moreIt was my first time trying this place tonight and it did not disappoint. From the moment I arrived, to the moment I left it was a great experience. The owner is so kind and you can tell he really cares about his customers. I got the falafel appetizer, #2 and #3 sandwiches. The falafel was the best I’ve had in Pensacola. Both sandwiches are really good, I took the owner’s advice and added fries inside it, DO IT, it was so good. If you’re looking for a simple but flavorful taste get the #3 (classic) but if you’re open to something flavorful with a hint of spiciness get the #2 (Jordanian). The Jordanian has the right amount of chili sauce but if you like spicy food, I would add more of it to it. My wife and I will definitely be...

I got the Classic Shawarma, and I recommend that for sure. The fella made the food super quick, and let me tell you... So. Much. Flavor. This tastes so amazing but I can't put it into words.
The guy running it is also super friendly. He gave me a 10% discount for being a "hard worker" since he recognized me from the times I door dashed there, which is just an awesome feeling. Even without the discount, it's still worth the cheap price.
Definitely coming back, with and without friends. You too will also find yourself writing a Google review moments after a Google review.
