Shawarma Hutch — Restaurant in The Dalles

Note: These are photos of take out and I'm sure it didn't look this messy when I picked them up. Please don't judge purely on that. I really wish this place was good. I like to support local establishments and I would like nothing more than for them to have a thriving business in The Dalles, however I feel they need to up their game a few notches before I can recomend this place to people. The gyro meat was very disappointing. I've read other reviews where the owner says they make everything in house. If they tell me with a straight face that this is made in house I would be very surprised. It's like the processed frozen bologna of gyro and is not worth ordering. Not roasted on a vertical spit and has no crispyness or roasted flavor. The shawarma is also not roasted on a spit. It looks like chunks of seasoned thigh meat which is fine but it is not shawarma. The hummus and taziki or was it garlic sauce? I honestly couldn't tell was watery and lacking in seasoning. The falafel was so coarsely ground that there were large chunks of chickpea unlike any falafel I've ever had. The flavor was decent but the texture was unpleasant. The rice was pale and under seasoned. Again, I never thought I would eat at a shawarma place where the rice was so bland. The pita is store bought which is fine, most places are. I guess I could go on but the review is long enough already. I know selling shawarma in The Dalles Oregon must be a tough market but if they could do just a little better it has the potential to be a gem. Sorry for the...

Be careful scammers , first of all it ain’t Shawarma it’s ground beef and extremely overpriced , looks and tastes like old dry meat or even wood ,you’re warned stay away ! The sandwich (filled up with lettuce ,really a lot of lettuce) i had was 14 dollars a ground beef sandwich exact the same sandwich at Arby’s for 6 dollars and even sometimes 2 for 6 dollars , people don’t give these kind of scammers...

This is the second time I’ve eaten here. The first time, I asked for no tzatziki (can’t have dairy) and they put a card in my delivery saying that they exchanged it for a dairy free garlic sauce and OMG it was delicious!

I had the same order tonight and the restaurant called and made sure that I knew the meat was marinated in yogurt to make sure I’d be okay. Again, SO SO DELICIOUS. Top notch service,...
