An absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with warm hospitality and the irresistible aroma of Mediterranean spices.

The atmosphere is cozy yet elegant, making it perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. The staff is attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the food—they’re happy to make recommendations and ensure a great experience. This is the kind of place you keep thinking about long after you leave. Easily one of the best Mediterranean restaurants around. Highly recommended—I’ll definitely be back!
It's one of the best Mediterranean food you can eat in SoCal. They have the best Falafel. Their Shawarma is tasty, chicken kabobs were flavorful. You can taste the fresh ingredients in everything. They are super friendly & welcoming 😀
We stumbled upon this restaurant while visiting San Diego, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we walked in, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Everyone we interacted with was warm, attentive, and respectful, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. You can really tell they care about both quality and service. It felt less like just dining out and more like being genuinely taken care of. If you’re in San Diego, I highly recommend checking this place out. It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience. We’ll definitely be coming back whenever we’re in town!
Excellent food! Beef shawarma was outstanding! Chicken and gyro were both excellent as well. Hummus, rice and tzatziki all on point. Wonderful owners. Flavors are out of this world. My kids even said best meal they had while in San Diego!
Shawarma House is an absolute gem! The moment you walk in, you notice how spotless and welcoming the place is — everything shines, and it’s clear they take pride in keeping it perfectly clean. The service is outstanding; the staff is warm, attentive, and always makes you feel taken care of. Every dish comes out fresh and full of flavor, and you can tell they put care into every detail. From the perfectly seasoned chicken shawarma to their delicious sides, everything stands out in the best way possible. It’s one of those rare spots where the food, service, and atmosphere all come together to give you an experience you’ll keep coming back for.
This Shawarma House is wonderful. My wife and I have been on many walk abouts in O.B. We've tried just about every place and the Shawarma House will be a definite repeater. The service was super friendly and helpful with any questions. The food was beyond good, it was soul warming and full of flavor. We had the three meat combo which was a perfect suggestion. All the side sauces were mouth wateringly delicious. The atmosphere was O.B. if you know, you know. Try this place now!!! Enjoy 😉
Absolutely delectable experience from the beginning 😄. I was enthusiastically greeted by the cordial Matti upon arrival who patiently answered all my questions and promptly directed me to the scrumptious chicken shawarma plate 🤤. He also generously offered me a drink on the house 🤗. We also had a great chat. Bright 🌞 and enterprising young man ♂️ Patron for life 💝
We can’t say enough about this new restaurant on Newport Avenue in Ocean Beach! It’s family run and you feel like you’re at their home for a family meal!! The price point is perfect and the quality of the food is outstanding!! We tried so much because everything looked and smelled so incredible! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this PHENOMENAL new addition to the Ocean Beach community ❤️❤️❤️
Great customer service! The place is a family owned business and you can tell the food quality and service has a personal touch with fast service! I didn't crave shawarma before but now I am a fan! And can't wait to visit again! The place is also clean and plenty of seating. Location is right next to the Target! If you dont get lucky with the parking on the street, park at Target really quick and pick up the food!
Other positive Google reviews led me here and I wasn't let down. The chicken shawarma plate was amazing and more than I could eat. The guy who took my order clearly cares about his craft.
Since these people took over, I absolutely love going here. The kids that are there are very well raised. Great customer service super kind and so are the owners. I can’t recommend this place enough. The food is fantastic. It’s a good deal and it’s a place that makes you wanna keep coming back.
I smelled the delicious aroma from outside the store. The server saw me admiring the smell of the wonderful spices and offered me a free sample of the beef. It was cut from the spinny thing and dressed with a house made sauce just for me. They also gave me a delicious spicy sauce on the side. They had made me feel special even before I’d bought anything there. I loved the sample so much that I ordered the Mediterranean spring rolls which were so yummy. It will be a new regular spot of mine in OB. The chef Sam and the server named Mais are awesome people. Check it out.
This Middle Eastern restaurant is newly opened in Ocean Beach. It's not very big, but it's very clean and tidy inside. The staff are very friendly and make you feel at home. I ordered the beef shawarma pita. The pita bread is very thin, just like a pancake. It's really delicious. I highly recommend it!
I’m middle eastern so I would not vouch for a place unless its food is authentic. This place is amazing! The service was awesome as well. It’s a guarantee I’ll be coming back and bringing my friends :) We got Tabbouli, beef & chicken egg rolls, hummus and baklava of course. 10/10 experience!
Service is personable and great. Family run business with authentic flavors and catering. We ordered the Family meal and some sides and were able to feed a small army.
Great service and amazing food! Made us feel like family as soon as we walked in.
Absolutely wonderful! The food is phenomenal and service top-tier. My coworker got the family combo for my birthday and it was not only delicious but fed more than 8 people. I believe the business is family own and it shows. Out little OB community loves places like this. They add their own person touch with great taste. If you have food restriction, just call the facility. They are more than happy to assist. Great at communicating and fast service. 😊

Pretty nice and casual spot at Ocean Beach, the inside is small but clean. The kitchen is open and you can see the big shawarma on the grill. The staff is very friendly. I ordered beef shawarma and the plate is huge with hummus and spicy sauce. The beef tastes flavorful and there’s also a lot of veggies inside the wrap. The shawarma tastes yummy! I really love the bread wrap they use, great to dip in the hummus. I think it’s a nice spot to grab a casual lunch at ocean beach.
Absolutely amazing! The food was excellent — fresh, flavorful, and top quality. The attention from the staff was outstanding; they really make you feel welcome. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for enjoying a great meal. And the drinks? Just as impressive as the food! If you’re in Ocean Beach, Shawarma House is a must-visit.
Shawarma Home Review – A Vacation Highlight! Our family stopped by Shawarma Home while on vacation, and it ended up being one of the best meals of our trip! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed and treated with genuine kindness. The staff made us feel right at home, which meant a lot while traveling. The food was absolutely exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care. Every dish we tried was delicious, and the portions were generous too. We’re so glad we found this place and will definitely be back the next time we’re in town. Shawarma Home is a true gem!
Everything is so delicious! Ate here recently on a trip to the area celebrating my wedding anniversary and really enjoyed it. We had eaten here a few years ago on a similar occasion and it was delicious then too - that's what prompted our return this time. So glad we stopped in again!
Visiting from out of town, we were burned out on tacos. Mediterranean is one of our favorites back home. We thought the places back home were good until we ate here. This has so far been the best I have ever had. The flavors were amazing! The food cooked to perfection! The staff was friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this place especially to foodies looking for incredible flavors. This is definitely going to be a place I come to every time I am in town.

This is my second visit and my experience has been great each time. The staff was very friendly. The chef was very generous. I couldn’t make up my mind on what to order so he gave me a little bit of everything to try. I really enjoyed Shawarma Pita (chicken and beef combo). It’s very tasty and the portion was huge. I was so full after half of a pita. I’ll definitely come back again.
