SHAWARMA TIME M&S — Restaurant in Oakland

Update: I have been back here several times now and love the food. There was a minor glitch in my order but I should have double checked and they fixed it quickly. Humans make errors.

Personally, I prefer it over the tabbouleh but both are delicious!

Now here’s the original review:

New Middle Eastern restaurant that opened up, and I had to try it. I lived in Detroit where there are great Middle Eastern restaurants so I was ready! I ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich combo which came with fries. I also ordered a medium fattoush salad. I'll start with the fries. Obviously not a traditional dish, but I must say they are great! They were seasoned crinkly fries freshly made. I nearly burned my mouth, they were deliciously fresh. Next, the fattoush salad- fresh, and a nice portion. I had the medium. It was easily a good side dish for 2 people. Lastly, the chicken shawarma sandwich - freshly grilled and toasted to perfection.

If you're concerned about safety, the two men running the restaurant don't look like they would be the kind you want to mess with. However, they were very friendly and the kitchen was very clean and the guys used food safety procedures when handling the food. I'm definitely coming back for...

I seriously wonder if this is a money laundering operation! Don't take that too seriously.

I went on a Wednesday night and there were 3 guys hanging out behind the counter when I came in, not doing anything. They put the food together pretty quickly.

I ordered a wrap with a side of fries. They put the fries in the wrap. While this is extremely strange, I chalked it up to language/accent issues. But the wrap just wasn't very good.

There are a lot of other places in the area that might be better. Sorry,...
