ShaQ — Restaurant in Santa Clara

Their shawarmas are good! However, twice in the past month we got take-out from them and twice the orders were completely messed up (not a little bit - just seriously messed up!!) The first order was missing a shawarma (out of 3) and the other 2 shawarmas were not what we ordered. We assumed they must have given us someone else's order. The second order was missing 2 sides of fries (out of 3) and also the shawarmas did not contain the items we picked. Problem is, we always get one for our young son and he refuses to eat it if there's tomato or sauce inside. We specifically asked them for no sauce and no tomato. Despite that, it had everything inside, including hot pickled peppers. We always feel they just don't listen or care. So yeah, despite the fact that their shawarmas are good, we won't be coming back because it's like a mystery wrap. You never know what...

They usually ask you what you want to be put into your shawarma while you wait and watch them preparing it (because this is the way all the places in BA do!) but yesterday for some reason they didn’t.

After I placed the order I was waiting them starting to prepare, but they did it so quickly and never asked me about my preferences! They just presented me the final product, so I’ve got three dishes all with hot sauce and other things that I don’t consume, so all three dishes finally went to garbage. Well, I didn’t want to argue (I know, my fault) but I will never come back again. This is just not the way good places work. This is absolutely...

No, ShaQ does NOT have Kobe beef! But it definitely has heat. No not the championship Miami Heat of 2006 -- the spicy red sauce. Comparing the food to Shaquille O'Neil's basketball game,

Shaq dunking: The falafels are also a "can't miss". They were good with or without the sauce

Shaq at the free throw line: The not-so-good was the gyro platter which was barely any meat and mostly rice. I put on the spicy red sauce and that made it better but I was envious when I saw what my friend got.

Shaq low post game: If you don't know his game, this is where Shaq dominated. That would be the lamb platter -- a lot of lamb meat with this dish. Next time I go see Shaq at the ShaQ, I'm getting the...
