Bbq Papa's Shawarma — Restaurant in Utica

My food tasted fantastic. I had a chicken tikka pita and lentil soup. The minus star is for two problems. I paid six dollars for soup and they sent me a small cup, which is a ripoff. They need to change the price or order bowl size containers. Second, I ordered a beef Shawarma sandwich which they were out of so they waited until my dasher was there for pick up to ask what I wanted instead. My Dasher had to call me. They couldn’t bother themselves to pick up the phone to call me before hand, so my Dasher had to wait awhile on them to cook it. That cost me extra because I gave my Dasher an extra few bucks on top of their tip for having to wait. At least this time, the second time, they completed my order. The first time I placed an order with them they just canceled it. I figured either they didn’t have what I ordered or they wanted to leave early.

Papa's Shawarma: A Hidden Gem

I recently stumbled upon Papa's Shawarma, and I'm so glad I did. This unassuming little spot serves up some of the most delicious shawarma I've ever tasted.

The shawarma was a masterpiece. The meat was perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. The pita bread was fresh and soft, providing the perfect vessel for the delicious fillings. The combination of flavors was simply divine.

The staff at Papa's Shawarma were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Lay, who took my order, was especially helpful and knowledgeable. She made sure I had everything I needed and even offered me some helpful recommendations. (Pro Tip, if you like spicy, ask for the Buffalo Shawarma! Chefs Kiss.

While I didn't dine in, I definitely plan on returning to try more of their menu. Papa's Shawarma is a hidden gem that deserves to be discovered.

I got a two person combination dinner tonight with turshi (pickles). I ordered online, but today of all days apparently there was a worldwide cyber problem and a lot of businesses that rely on internet services for checkout were down. When i got there we found out she never received the order, she apologized when she really didnt have to as it was out of her hands, they made my food to go and she added lots of extras to make up for it. Food was fantastic, very fresh and flavorful. I should add that the chicken cream chop was very tender, unlike some other middle eastern restaurants in the area that dont tenderize the chicken before cooking it. Food portions are extremely generous. Great food, great service, kind smiles,...
