Best shawarma in town, must try for sure

I followed the good reviews on Google maps and they did not fail me! This place is great- super flavorful and tasty food, good portions, and very friendly service. I got the chicken shawarma and the seasoning on it was so good and the chicken was moist. The rice that it came with had a great combo of flavors as well. The hummus was presented so beautifully too. I chatted with the owner a bit- a very friendly guy. This place 100% is worth checking out. I live quite close so this will be a staple for me.

Recently visited this Mediterranean spot in Oakland, California, and everything was absolutely delicious! From the flavorful food to the pastries, every bite has the authentic taste truly stands out you have to give it a try if you’re in the area!

These falafel balls were astonishing! Perfectly fried, crisp, crunchy outside. The inside was not soggy or dry but perfectly moist. Herbs and flavor were unique and amazing! Then after all that… the dipping sauce doubles the satisfaction. Please don’t go through life without trying these!!

One of the best foods I have ever eaten 😋

The owners were so nice! This felt like a home cooked meal at an affordable price. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a quick bite or a cozy meal.

Delicious chicken shawarma in a thin wrap with garlic sauce, also got a really great Greek salad and it was a huge portion. Falafel was fried crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Not expensive! Would definitely go back!

Amazing food and service ! We went with the family and had a great time . We had the chicken and beef shawerma, which were very flavorful and authentic. We also loved their falafel sandwich. I highly recommend if you are looking for delicious and authentic Middle Eastern food !

This is hands down best and MOST AUTHENTIC Shawarma in the whole Bay Area. I also have to mention the sweets are just as good and fresh as back home. The restaurant is clean and the owners are very kind.Deserves 1000 starts

The food is delicious! The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is nice. And even better, there is a large parking lot right in front of the restaurant.

Sham Falafel G Shawarma never disappoints—it's always serving up fresh, mouth-watering food that hits the spot every time. To be honest, my relationship with my wife has been a bit complicated over the last three months, and finding comfort in good food has been a blessing. When it comes to satisfying my cravings and giving me that sense of home, there's truly no place like Sham Falafel G Shawarma. It's the only place that can replace my wife's cooking and make me feel just as content. Their dishes are prepared with love and care, and every bite is filled with flavor that leaves me coming back for more. Without a doubt, Sham Falafel G Shawarma has become my go-to spot for delicious, comforting meals.

We were told that the food would be a 10 minute wait and it was 30… food was just ok. I’m used to shawarma being jam packed, full of flavor and very filling but it was about as filling as a Trader Joe’s wrap.

I’ve tried to order through Uber Eats and Doordash FOUR TIMES and they kept canceling it EVERY TIME. If you don’t have the entire menu then close that restaurant! All those 5 star reviews are lies and are definitely from family and friends. فاشلين!
