    Pretty good food and generously portioned. The premium beef is definitely worth the upgrade. The normal beef taste a little bit acidic for some reason but other than that it’s a great meal

    Yes!!!! I’m from Phoenix and we have nothing like this. The food is so good and fresh. The garlic sauce!!!! That sauce is the best thing I’ve put in my mouth in a long time. After a long day walking 11 hours around Disney this hit the spot. I’m sure everything is amazing but the mix plate was perfect. Nice fresh salad, and the hummus is very creamy.

    Amazing beef, amazing chicken, amazing rice, amazing salad, delicious garlic sauce. We got the "8 Skewers of Mixed Grill Kabob" for a family of six, which was perfect. Each side sauce/ hummus was delicious and great pairing for the food. I reccomned eating the pita, topping with salad, sauce, and then a choice of meat. Great Halal option near Disneyland.

    Really good food. I drove a bit to get here and try it but I'd say it was worth it. The wait was a little long considering the meat was already done but it wasn't too bad. A little pricey but you get quite a lot. The hummus was actually really good, probably one of the best I've tried. The salad was good and the meat was very good. Well seasoned and juicy. I'll be back in the future.

    Hands down the best hummus I have ever had! Smooth and delicious! As you can see in the picture, we ordered roughly 10 different items! The mixed grill toward the bottom had three types of meat which were delicious. The girls got shawarma sandwiches. Food was prepared fresh and it took awhile to come out, but was well worth the wait!

    This is a great Halal food place with indoor and outdoor seating. Very close to Disneyland. Plenty of space to sit inside as well as outside. One of the best features besides food is the packaging of the silverware and the quality of the silverware. We have not seen anything like this in other high-end places as well. The singer that came wrapped in a protective wraparounds, The quality of silverware was top notch. Food was good and portions with generous. They also do party orders see pictures of them preparing the chicken in the parking lot. Will definitely visit again.

    Shawarma House is my go to eatery when I stay at the Delta Hotel. Good food, friendly service, and generous business practice. Went there to take out a sharwama plate and baba  ganoush. They had packed a beef samosa instead of the baba ganoush. It was quickly rectified, and the difference in price refunded. When I went back to the hotel room, I realised they had given me the samosas as well. They didn't  have to do that. Thank you for your generosity!! You're the best! PS- The beef samosas were very good, by the way....

    Everything about this place was exceptional. Very tasty food with super fresh ingredients. Palestinian brothers who run the place were awesome.

    I got the chicken kebab plate, it was very flavorful and fresh and came with rice and salad. The salad dressing was fantastic. Patio seating is available. Prices were reasonable and they’ve got some really good sodas from Dubai.

    Shawarma House is a nice place for halal Mediterranean food choices. The food has been awesome, well cooked with nice taste. Gyro, chicken, Shawarma, Kebab are good choices here.

    Absolute best Shawarma in the OC !! That’s all you need to know. They have photos of all the meals when you walk inside which is nice. The portions are large as they should be. Just a great place to enjoy lunch or dinner. Very Highly Recommended Cheers

    Ben a guest of ours who grew up in the West Bank and brought us to the Shawarma House. I ordered the premium mix grill plate and my son and his friends ordered fatoosh salads, every wrap, and combination plates. Ed shared with us that the herbs the Shawarma House cooks with tasted and reminded him of his childhood memories of when his grandparents use to cook for him and his family as a child back in Jerusalem. The owners remodeled their restaurant to include A/C and an outdoor seating, grill/smoker adorned with patio lights for casual vibe/ambiance. The location borders the Disney resorts which means the VALUE is AWESOME especially for a family of 3 or more who is seeking a more authentic, casual, and affordable dining experience. We recommend the Shawarma House to our family and friends and today we eat at the Shawarma House on the regular. Happy Eating 🧄🧅🥗🍴

    Great fresh middle east plates including lamb, beef, salmon, rice dishes, humus, salads, and a variety of traditional Palestinian food fair. The owner is friendly and outgoing and offers a robust smile and great service to all patrons. The food is great for the price and is better than some fancy cuisine places. The setting is informal with tables and benches, quick restaurant style, nothing fancy. Not much in the bakery department in spite of the name. People go there for the great full meal food. No tips expected in this fast service place. Everyone seems friendly and serviceful.

    This place is legit! You know the place is good when local locals come to this place for their National dish. The flavors were on point and I left fat, satisfied, and happy. Totally recommend this place.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Shawarma House! The food is delicious and the staff is friendly. The food is highly scented with cardamom, which is a wonderful spice and adds a different and dynamic flavor to the food. I have to say I enjoyed the chicken kebab more so than the beef Shawarma… Not that the beef was bad… The chicken was better! The staff is very friendly and service oriented. Thank you for a great Saturday afternoon meal. Recommended and will return for sure!

    Excellent place. My only complaint is it is too popular! They're serving food at an impressive rate, but everyone wants some! Just the takeout line is deep.

    Counter service middle eastern restaurant in a strip mall. Free parking available. Has indoor and outdoor seating. The kabobs are excellent. Hummus and bread were good as well.

  • 1/5 Peter D. 7 months ago on Google
    I didn’t ask for French fries over the phone, but when I asked for a wrap, the gentleman quickly mentioned fries as if the wrap came with them. Sneaky dishonest. He didn’t ask me if I wanted them, and he didn’t tell me that they cost extra. When I picked up my food, I saw the extra charge for the fries that I didn’t ask for, and since everything was already boxed up and I was in a hurry, I didn’t protest. Not a fan of the strong-armed, deceptive business practices. Hope the extra $3 was worth this 1-star review, buddy! Also: the fries were soggy & flavorless.

  • 4/5 Chris R. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was AMAZING. 4 stars? To my taste I did not like the beef 🥩 was taste less but my wife loves it, May be it’s just me but hummus, rice chicken etc was suuuuper… will I come back? YES. Great value (I got a family #2) and we eat a LOT AND COULD NOT finish it. So it’s fully worth the price!

    Visited this restaurant hoping for a delightful Middle Eastern meal, but was left utterly disappointed. The falafel lacked any discernible taste, resembling bland chickpea balls. The shawarma, served cold, was dripping with grease and had an off-putting taste. Even the pita bread, a staple of such cuisine, was clearly old and just reheated, losing its authentic texture and flavor. The hummus was unmistakably store-bought, merely scooped onto a plate. And to top it all, the fries tasted as though they were at least 2 days old, simply refried and served. I genuinely hope they reconsider their food standards. As of now, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.
