Shawarmar - Independence

I spent a summer working in Lebanon, several years ago. How quickly I fell in love with the food, and Shish Tawook became my favorite.. A grilled chicken wrap with delicious flavors and French fries packed INSIDE. I practically lived on the delicious all-in-one meal while I was there! When I took my first bite of the Shawarmar version...It made me pause and close my eyes. Delicious! I was back in Beirut! Cherished memories rushing back can't be forced. Not only is the

I went there at about 7pm through the drive in. Having never been there before I splurged on 2 entrees and a hummus. I got the shwarma loaded fries, the kabab bowl, and the hummus with pita. The fries were great, a plenty big portion. I read some reviews about the pickles which I agree with if you eat them solo, but if you get them covered with the sauce and chicken then they give a nice vinegary note which is good. The kabab bowl was also a good portion and the seasoning

I enjoy exploring new restaurants from time to time. We decided to dine at this establishment because I wanted to give it a try. My companion has experience with Mediterranean cuisine from being stationed overseas. Unfortunately, the food did not sit well with me. I began feeling nauseous about 10 minutes after consuming the beef and lamb kabob, which ultimately led to me vomiting in the bathroom. On a positive note, I did enjoy the pita and hummus. However, the rice seemed to taste like a boxed rice-a-roni. Despite seeing exceptional reviews, I am disappointed and will not be returning to this restaurant.

What an amazing dining experience! We will definitely be returning. We tried and shared the Kabab Bowl, which consisted of Basmati rice topped with a perfectly grilled mixture of ground beef and lamb, topped with onion and parsley salad, drizzled with tahini sauce, and sprinkled with sumac. We also ordered the Shawarma Loaded Fries, which were French fries loaded with chicken shawarma, onion and parsley salad, pickles, cucumber sauce, and garlic sauce. We absolutely loved both dishes - they were incredibly delicious! Can't wait to come back for more!

This restaurant is consistently fantastic. The food is prepared fresh to order, and they accommodated my special requests to omit cilantro and warm pickles without any issues. The interior is spacious with charming tables and a calming ambiance. The staff, particularly the women, are incredibly friendly. Knowing that this restaurant is woman-owned only adds to the appeal. I could definitely see myself dining here daily.
