Chicken gyro is always my favorite here

Great food! The chicken over rice and falafel meals were awesome! Nice market to find some unique groceries as well. We’ll be going here often!

The food is exceptional AND very affordable priced. The staff and owners Are polite and truly strive for amazing customer service, this is a one of a kind establishment and you would not expect it from looking at it outside.

Very good food...good price and clean store

This place is a hidden gem. The food is delicious and fresh. I really loved the white garlic sauce they included with the shawarma. It was yummy. Please check out this place, they do not disappoint.

Im addicted to the chicken over rice in this place, also they have amazing lamb over rice and shawarma! Their rice is sooo goood, also the white sauce! I always get extra white sauce over my rice! The salad which comes with the rice is always very fresh. They also have whole chicken which they roast for which you have to call them an hour ahead and let them know! The price is very reasonable, definitely a must try if u haven’t already(:

For those that know, know. Everyone else will learn. Try the handmade garlic sauce to your hot pressed shawarma! Amazing solid food, reasonably priced. Saved!! Footlong roll-up. Pro tip: order 2, because you will inhale the first!

I've ordered takeout here a lot of times and nothing can beat their lamb dishes! I've had the lamb over rice and the lamb wrap a couple of times and it was superb every time

Very generous portions of halal food at a good price. Would recommend the lamb over rice $5.99. They also deliver.

This place’s lamb just hits different. Like super Arab tasting if that makes sense. I’ve had a lot of Afghani/Pakistani/Indian style halal lamb, but this is just authentic.

Great place for fast, reasonably priced food! The falafel wrap is really good. I also recommend the fries, they are hot and crispy and the portions are huge! You can tell they make your order fresh. Your order is always made quickly and at a reasonable price, especially for the amount of food you get.

They offer really tasty take-out grilled rice bowl. I have been ordering from them once every week and I never got disappointed. Highly recommend.

Chicken over rice was legit. Nice flavor on the rice. Very filling. Good quality chicken. Not too expensive. Lots of cool imported foods and goods in the back of the store. Open late too. Definitely going back. Forgot to take a pic because I ate it so fast.

I loved everything thing about this place, and the food and service was spectacular. And best of all the prices were extremely reasonable for the quality of what was purchased.

Great food. Worked a 12 hour day and ordered pickup. Went in and both people were very friendly and had my food ready on time. Loved their gyros, they gave me life.

Excellent halal food. The chicken over rice is always on point and is such a great deal. Trust me, you want some of that hot sauce!

Some times I order chicken shawarma it’s great taste and staff is too good I recommend this place thank you so much Elhariri Hot Food

Thank you for your service… nice people…

Decent food for good price. It's not the best Mediterranean food that we could get, but it's certainly not bad. We took the meat over rice and shawarma. The meat could be more juicy/soft. But like I said before, ar this great price point, can't really complain. Might go back again.

I got shawarmas 2 different times from them. The second time, I got the chicken and had them add onions, tomatoes and hot sauce. Made the shawarma very good and it was $5 for a good portion. Location is assuming in a convenience store, but give them a try, well worth it.

I connot call it best/good shavurma or döner. I ordered two mix chicken & beef, honestly I didn't feel any beef. Taste was fine, red onion is not good for shavurma, white or yellow much better and less smell. Menu was good and price are cheap for size of order. Anyway, I was here for testing they're food and menu.

Today I threw away the falafel in garbage however shawarma was not too bad

This had been an amazing shawarma place for years we got catering here twice but we went last night and not only had their quality decreased, meat was dry and tough but the worst of it was we all got food poisoning they said their meat was fresh and was impossible to get from their food but the only person who didn’t get food poisoning was the one who didn’t eat the shawarma.

Yuck never again

My stomach hurt from the food, taste wise it was 4 out of 10, I ordered kabab and I’m 100%sure that this is not kabab idk what was it, but it didn’t taste like meat, I don’t recommend it save your money and go else where !!!!

The place was good at first clean/ then few months later the place is dirty and the food is dry and meat and chicken is dry everything don’t recommend it anymore 🤮🤮🤮

Please save your money and don't vist this eatery. A complete waste of time and money. The food was tiny and cold. Not worth the price.

I was a customer of this place for years. My most recent order through Grubhub was delivered missing my dinner. I checked the app and they had canceled and refunded my meal but I was not contacted by Grubhub or the restaurant. When I called the restaurant to express my frustration the guy who answered the phone said “we don’t have to call you”. No you don’t I guess but that’s terrible customer service and a worse response. They’ve lost my business for being awful. Don’t trust them with your meals.

This was a go to for years for the days that I didn’t want to cook dinner. But their recent customer service was terrible. We ordered two dinners through Grubhub and only received one. There was no phone call to let us know. We gave them a call and they were rude and said that it was not their responsibility to call and let us know that they could not fulfill the entire order.

Awful place, worst food and customer service! Their shawarma gave me food poisoning. If you really want good shawarma and top notch customer service head to Aria Kabab on Central Avenue! This place is horrible, food/grocery has expired stuff. Just go somewhere else!

Placed an order thru Grubhub, Lamb/Chicken over rice, shwarma the usual... got a notification that they canceled my order. They're still taking orders phone orders, online orders, store is open... so only thing I can think of, I ordered using Paypal... Well I went to Express Chicken and Gyro next door which is usually where I get these kind of meals anyways. Thought I'd give their competition a shot today, but after this, forget about it. Sticking to Express Chicken and Gyro. Anyone looking for good lamb/chicken over rice, give Express a shot, they're around the corner from Elhariri. Ask for their house hot-sauce to go with the meal. You'll feel like you're in NYC.
