Shawarma & Shakes — Restaurant in Weymouth

Me, my husband and my brother drove from Bridgewater during rush hour just to try this place. Goes to show how much hope we had for it. What a disappointment. We knew we were off to a rocky start when the girl answering the phone was super preoccupied, talking to people in the background as she took our order, and barely knew what the “hot hot” was. We placed our order for two lamb shawarma plates and a beef shawarma plate. One plate was supposed to be with salad and hummus and one with salad and “hot hot”, which we now know is pickled hot peppers completely drenched in oil. $56 dollars later for 3 plates and 3 drinks, we wind up with a lamb Kabob (not shawarma) plate with salad and hot hot, a chicken shawarma (???? We didnt even order chicken!!!!) plate with salad and hot hot and another lamb kabob plate (again not shawarma as requested), oh and NO hummus in sight, even though two plates were supposed to have it!!! They were busy so we figured we wouldn’t be “those” people and complain, so we just settled. Chicken was fatty, lamb kabobs were legitimately the size of footballs, thick and extremely chewy, the rice was borderline crunchy (lack of freshness), salad barely had any color because the veggies were mediocre and the feta was funky, and the measly stuffed grape leave was fresh out of the can. Being Middle Eastern myself, I definitely am qualified to judge Middle Eastern food and this was below subpar....

If you're seeking authentic Lebanese cuisine, this isn't the place. My usual go-to, Roy's in Rockland, is closed on Sundays, so I decided to give this spot a try. Unfortunately, it was a major disappointment.

We ordered the mixed shawarma plate, shawarma salad, stuffed grape leaves (warak enab), and fries. The shawarma salad arrived without any dressing, the chicken was bone-dry, and there was no tahini in sight. To top it off, they added feta cheese—a puzzling and misplaced choice. This is Lebanese cuisine, not Greek; feta doesn’t belong here.

The turnips, typically marinated with a bright, tangy punch in Lebanese fare, were off in both taste and appearance. Even the grape leaves missed the mark—they came with garlic sauce instead of the traditional yogurt and mint pairing. Why change something that’s so foundational?

Across the board, the food lacked the rich seasoning and flavor that defines Lebanese cooking. It was all surprisingly bland. I gave 2 stars instead of 1 only because the fries were decent and the salad vegetables were fresh. Otherwise, a forgettable experience. We won’t be returning.

I went there recently for ice cream with my family and I was very disappointed with their service! I waited for service at the ice cream counter for almost 15 min and not one person working there, asked if I needed help or anything! They all saw us waiting and no one said anything to us!! I asked a young lady, was I at the right counter? bc there are 2 counters, 1 for ordering food and the other for ice-cream and she said that I was at the right counter. Another 15 min passed and no help from anyone!! My sister had placed an order for food and after 30 min or so, her order was done and at that point I had already left! My sister told her that I was a very angry customer and they tried to apologize. I refuse to spend my money in a place where I was totally ignored along with my 15 y o niece! They were too busy handling phone orders and no one was helping ppl inside waiting for ice- cream. I left and I will not go back there again. The service...
