About

Original Shawarma specializes in the preparation of authentic Middle Eastern staples centered around vertical rotisserie meats and fresh vegetable accompaniments. Thinly sliced chicken and beef are seasoned with traditional spice blends before being seared to optimal texture. These proteins are served within soft pita bread or alongside fragrant rice platters accompanied by house-made garlic sauce and creamy tahini. The menu features a variety of mezze options including freshly prepared hummus and crispy falafel that highlight classic culinary techniques. Diners select from numerous customizable topping configurations that emphasize the freshness of pickled vegetables and crisp greens. The establishment focuses on efficient food preparation and consistent flavor profiles to provide a straightforward representation of regional staples. Every dish reflects a commitment to traditional flavor palettes through the use of high-quality ingredients and classic preparation methods.

Yesterday, February 24th, I ordered the family-sized lamb mandi, & it was one of the worst experiences I've had. The rice wasn't the same as before in terms of taste for me & my family; it was bad. In addition, the amount of meat was not commensurate with the price. Although I asked which type of rice was better when placing the order, & the employee explained that there were two types, I was surprised to find that there was only one type when I got home.my order number was 37 at 5pm & total 106$

I would like to formally report an issue regarding a cashier named Marwa.
When I arrived to pick up my order, I politely stated my name. In response, Marwa made an inappropriate facial expression that made me feel uncomfortable & unwelcome. As a customer, I expect to be treated with basic courtesy & professionalism.
Customer service includes not only words but also gestures & facial expressions. Staff members should maintain respectful body language at all times, especially when interacting with customers.
I kindly ask that this matter be addressed & that Marwa be reminded to control her gestures & facial expressions to ensure a positive experience for customers.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Food is good but service needs work: I ordered a plate for 25$, waited 20min (no one called my order) after going to ask at the counter, it turns out my order was ready for a while just getting cold sitting there. I asked to have it replaced because it became cold & they did but it wasted my time & the portion was not generous (compared to wasting my time twice). Needs a lot of work, the young lady Wednesday night was doing a bad job pls talk to her, I'm sure it's her fault & not the kitchen
