I had a wonderful experience at Sham Shawarma, a nice and clean restaurant that serves authentic Middle Eastern food. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and they greeted me with a smile. The food was delicious, fresh and satisfying. I ordered a beef shawarma wrap with fries and salad, and it was loaded with tender meat, crunchy veggies and creamy sauce. The fries were crispy and seasoned well, and the salad was refreshing and tangy. The portion was excellent, and the price was fair. Best of all, it’s all Halal, so I felt comfortable eating there. I highly recommend this place for anyone who loves shawarma or wants to try something new and tasty.

We came from Los Angeles to work here for a few days, we looked for the food we like and we came to this place, and we really liked the food, very tasty, we loved it, the people who served us were very friendly. We arrived at night and the hummus had finished, and when I had resigned myself to not eating it, one of the waiters arrived with a plate of hummus freshly cooked for us, that was a detail that I really appreciated. Two days later, we returned, and we enjoyed the food and good service again, we hope to have time to go to this good restaurant again, before returning to Los Angeles. Thank you.

We came to support small business and really wanted to like the place. Unfortunately, guys need a lot of work to make it a good place. So, the positive thing is that it’s clean and the service is nice. Fries were ok as well. Fresh and good seasoned. But the shawarma was terrible. Not enough sauce, they saved on pickles, meat is very dry. No tomatoes or anything else inside. Overall it’s hard even to swallow it from how dry it is. I had to drink a whole bottle of water after it, because it was terribly dry. We wanted to like it, but don’t think we ever come back.

Yes this is it. Great middle eastern spot, inside has a modern sleek design, from outside you can think of an old Sham spot. I am not a shwarma person as someone from Turkish origin, we love real Turkish doner. I went there at a time that I was craving for döner. I had chicken wrap. No heavy seasoning or sauces. It came with lettuce tomatoes and garlic sauce but very balanced. No stomach upset or heavy smell. They have Best brand glass bottled drinks. I tried mango. It was delicious. Restaurant is clean, Especially the restroom. Keep the girl at the register and the Jordanian guy. She welcomes customers with a friendly smile and the other guy is so humble. Good luck guys. Next time I will try beef one. I am not sure it is beef or...

This place has menus that say lamb shwarma on them...but they alternately told us the lamb was out, and then that they didnt sell lamb and it was all beef, and then that your clearly beef shwarma was lamb. The manager has absolutely no desire to have good customer service. Don't come to this place if they're going to lie about what they're serving. It's insane and they upcharge you for it anyway! Also we came in as a large group and they lost half of our orders until we went down and complained...and then some of them were wrong, still. The cashier was extremely nice and asked what they could do to make it better...but the manager couldn't be bothered. Poorly run but hopefully they get better...
