Uptowne Mediterranean Restaurant — Restaurant in Shrewsbury

Looking for some good Lebanese/middle eastern food, this is the place. Also, if you are looking for a good Shawarma in an authentic doner style this your place. I have tried multiple location in Worcester, but none were this authentic in spice and preparation style. . Ambience - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Service - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Quality - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Quantity- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ $$ . Got the beef Shawarma platter with French fries - $16 , one the best in Worcester I had. The meat and the spice well absolutely flavorful, and the french fries was really crunchy. Mixed platter was great too, ( 32$), it contained (approx 6-7 inch) two skewers of chicken, One skewer lamb and one skewer of beef, good portion of tabloueh, rice, half flat bread, small portion of hummus, and garlic mayo sauce They give you the option to have ground or cube meat for the skewers. Loved the beef cube kabobs was really juicy and flavorful. The tabloueh was fantastic. . The service was really great , met the waitress who have been working there for 15year .. WOW. Even the owner was just friendly, she came and spoke to us. Didn’t have room for the dessert will definitely try them. They have baklava and kanafa. . . Parking- there is plenty of...

Tremendously delicious Mediterranean cuisine. This gem is tucked away in the shadow of the giant Christmas Tree Shoppe plaza. I couldn't tell you the number of times I drove past it unknowingly. So much shawarma I could have had...

I had the shawarma platter with rice. Perfect flavor, very filling, very authentic. If I could do it again, I would have definitely gotten the wrap instead. This meat screams to be accompanied with pita and I blew thru the pita serving that came with the platter (so sad).

I was planning on trying their appetizers and desserts, but I just couldn't bare anymore food. Oh well, have to go back!

On the negative side, my wife got the thanksgiving-esque sandwich (turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce). It was mediocre. All the ingredients felt like they were bought down the street at the Stop&Shop deli. It's not what they're known for, but then, don't put it on the menu if you're not going to at least try, right? Try roasting up a couple turkey breasts, cut'em nice and thick and you'd knock it outta the park. They clearly know there way around meat, there's no reason to go with that cheap deli fare. Ah well, a blemish in what was otherwise a...

I don't even know how to start this. I've hear so many good things about this place. The way it's set up is a mess in the dining area. From what I could see was the kitchen is clean so don't get me wrong. The thing that really got me so upset her was the SIZE OF THE SHAWARMA and for THAT PRICE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?! I am heavily appalled. The amount of food the give you vs the price is just not worth it especially when can make all that at home. Since I like trying new halal spots I decided to go ahead and taste it anyways. Ingredients for the most part seemed fresh except the picked stuff (I personally don't like anything picked and depending on where your from you may or may not put those on your shawarma) they tasted kinda fishy. Hummus was obviously fresh and other veggies too. The meat was well seasoned but obviously older than it should have been. The wrap was just missing setting. Lacked love when it was baked? Idk. It just wasn't IT. Same with the rice ... it was only OK. Perhaps during peak hours they could push out amazing food but with those prices and those portions? It's just...
