Best Shawarma in OC to date!! I ordered chicken and beef wraps and they were the closest shawarmas to the OG Middle Eastern ones. 🌯🌯 The size is HUGE, and super filling - Chicken wrap was almost perfect with delicious garlic sauce and pickles - Beef one was super close to the ones in the Middle East with onions, pickles and tahini sauce Would be great if they explore having an option with smaller portions for ppl who would get both wraps at once 🍟 Their fries are also great with spices reminding me of the OG Syrian fries. Quantity is also great (Couldn’t resist and ate more than half before the photo 😂) One small thing, I feel the experience would have been complete if the server was a bit friendlier than 😅

Looked better than most places google found for me when I was craving shawarma visitng family in town. Glad I stopped by here. A bit hidden in a parking lot operating out of a food truck, but the shawarma was very good. Very similar to another place I like in the Chicago land area. Thoum might be the best and freshest I have had in a while. Ordered 3 steak shawarmas, demolished one in the car, then sliced them into smaller pieces the next morning for an oven refresh. Worth a stop here.

Probably the best shawarma place I ever had in the nation. The shawarma wraps are very delicious and rich. Everything is made perfect. The service is outstanding and the chefs do a great job preparing your order. I recommend this place as it is the best!

Finally a shawarma place near Irvine. I came here today to try it out as it was recommended by one of my friends. And HANDS DOWN, they deserve FIVE stars for the delicious taste of their shawarmas. I normally don't order beef, but this time it WAS DIFFERENT 😋. Juicy beef and tender chicken shawarmas. This is definitely my spot from now on. I highly recommend everyone to try them out 👍.

Back again to have chicken shawarma Arabic style (cut and heated for extra toasty taste). Look at this beauty. Very generous serving. Guilt ensues 🥹 I wish they open up earlier. I often end up elsewhere if I fancied their menu for lunch. Rotana had set the bar high for seekers of authentic taste.

This place was recommended to me by a couple friends (from the Middle East or who at least grew up there). They knew exactly what kind of shawerma flavor I was craving and used to from there. This place did not disappoint at all!! I could cry from how authentic this shawerma tasted. It reminded me of HOME. This is by far the closest tasting shawerma to the ones I’ve had in the Middle East (I’ve specifically tried Saudi Arabia’s, Syria’s, Lebanon’s, and Turkiya’s). I ordered the single chicken plate which comes with pickles and garlic sauce (debated it with the chicken wrap which I will get next time). It was delicious!!! The garlic toum was by far the best I’ve had here finally! Someone got it right! There was even extra chicken pieces on top of the shawerma bites which was a nice plus! I would highly recommend this place. I will 100% be coming back and telling every person I know about it! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me a wonderful flashback to my childhood and early adult years with this authentic shawerma! 🌯

Drove from Yorba Linda to get actual wrap. It’s very tasty, they considered all my extras I requested, such as extra veggies and more grilling. Chicken is juicy, not dry. I recommend!

I love love love their shawarma!!! I would say they have the best shawarma near me. I just wish they were open longer hours :(

Food was AMAZINNNNG! BEST SHAWARMA I've had in a while. It isn't on the menu but ask for pomegranate molasses it's an extra dollar but soooooo worth it. Definitely coming again when I'm in the area. 👌🏽👌🏽

Finally — finally! — I found a place in Southern California that makes Shawarma the right way! Authentic Middle Eastern, real Arabic flavor. I absolutely love this spot. It’s a small food truck run by just a couple of guys, but they’re true professionals. I tried the chicken Shawarma, meat Shawarma, and chicken Shawarma with rice — every single one was perfect. The flavor, the seasoning, everything was on point. Honestly, I’d give this place a solid 10/10. Super tasty, great service, and pure authenticity. My friends loved it too. Thank you guys — keep it up!

Solid Schwarma. 10/10 would eat again. Don't look at it and think it's small. One IS enough. One weighs ~1 lb. It looks small but it is stuffed. It has the wonderful grill marks as well as all the photos show it. I bought in-n-out fries and then went here to pick up a chicken and a beef schwarma. A wonderful mistake. Only finished 1. Sketch parking lot but thats how you know the food is fire.

Outstanding. Much, much better than those brick and mortar franchises. Authentic and traditional Syrian shawarma. It gets quite busy and there are only 3 people to serve you so bring some patience and understanding as your food is made fresh and absolutely worth the wait.

I gave Rotana Elsham a recommendation on my meticulously researched list of the best shawarma in LA and OC. You can read the full report, entitled "The Shawarma Report: My Favorite Shawarma in Los Angeles and Orange County" on the subreddit r/FoodLosAngeles. Here is what I said: Pretty good but somewhat forgettable. Austere sandwich (nothing but chicken, thum, and pickles). The chicken tastes very high quality and fresh. A good option if you are in the area for some reason. Food reviewed: Syrian-style chicken shawarma wrap

My husband and I have been on search for the best shawarma place in Orange county without any luck for years… Tonight, we discovered Rotana Elsham Shawarma. This place has the most legit shawarma! I remembered back home eating it. The staff were very friendly and generous. You won’t be disappointed if you try it!

Two of my friends recommended this truck and I finally made it and ordered the classic arabi, it came with a side of crunchy cool pickles which were just perfect, a side of garlic sauce which was zesty and citrusy. The taste was good and decent with great ratio of protein. Moreover, the presentation was neat and topped with extra chicken shawarma. Furthermore, i wish it came with fries but I had to choose between drink or fries. Overall the location is great not far from Irvine area unlike other spots in Anaheim and I am huge supporter for small family businesses and this one is definitely offering something unique and delicious.

I tried the beef shawarma plate, $36 delivered, wasn't impressed. Heavy seasoning and a bit dry, but ok. Didn't like tortilla vs arab bread, too dry, maybe better to get wrap instead of plate.

The shawarma here is really tasty and well-prepared, definitely one of the better options around. However, the customer service needs serious improvement. The staff were not friendly, and there was a noticeable delay in serving customers. If they can improve the way they treat guests and speed up the service, this place could be excellent.
