    Everything about this place is authentic. From the delicious shawarma, the kumpir (baked and loaded potatoes) to the burgers and hummus. Take it from a middle eastern guy who’s tried a fair share of Mediterranean restaurants across the US. This place definitely takes the cake. The restaurant is spacious and great for families, and the customer service is a top notch. You will not be disappointed.

    Mr. Shawarma’s meals are a true feast for the senses. Generous portions of fragrant rice pilaf, creamy hummus, crispy falafel, and Kumpir which is one of the most famous Turkish dishes, and it consists of grilled potatoes mixed with butter and cheese. Served with love and care, showcasing the diverse and vibrant flavors of the Middle East. The shared experience of indulging in these delectable dishes with your loved ones creates unforgettable memories that are sure to be cherished.

    I recently discovered a culinary gem in El Cajon called Mr Shawarma, and let me tell you, it has been an absolute delight for my taste buds. This establishment truly deserves every bit of praise it receives, as it has quickly become my go-to spot for authentic Middle Eastern flavors. Upon stepping into Mr Shawarma, I was immediately captivated by the inviting ambiance and the enticing aromas wafting from the kitchen. The friendly and attentive staff greeted me with warm smiles, ready to guide me through their menu bursting with delectable options. For my first visit, I decided to indulge in their renowned chicken shawarma wrap, and I was left utterly impressed. The tender, marinated chicken was perfectly cooked and infused with a harmonious blend of spices. Encased within the softest pita bread, the generous filling of succulent chicken, vibrant veggies, refreshing cucumber pickles, and a heavenly garlic sauce created an explosion of flavors in every bite. It was a culinary masterpiece that truly delighted my senses. Eager to further explore their offerings, I also ventured into their beef shawarma wrap, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. The thinly sliced, perfectly seasoned beef was a testament to their culinary expertise. Complemented by the crispness of the veggies, the tang of the garlic sauce, and the subtle touch of the pita bread, each mouthful was an invitation to savor the richness of Middle Eastern cuisine. And then came the much-raved-about Habibi Burger, a delightful creation that exceeded all expectations. While I couldn't indulge in the cheese due to my dietary restrictions, the shawarma beef patty stole the show with its juicy tenderness. Layered with a medley of vibrant veggies, the addition of mayo and their tantalizing secret sauce elevated the flavors to new heights. The accompanying side of perfectly cooked fries added a satisfying crunch, completing this epicurean experience. One aspect that cannot be overlooked is the exceptional value offered at Mr Shawarma. The portion sizes are astonishingly generous, easily satisfying two people or providing an indulgent second meal. Each visit leaves me with a delightful takeaway for later, extending the pleasure of their remarkable cuisine. It is worth noting that the attention to detail and commitment to quality are evident in every dish. The ingredients are fresh, the flavors are vibrant, and the execution is flawless. The culinary team at Mr Shawarma truly understands the art of Middle Eastern cuisine, and it shines through in every mouthwatering bite. In addition to the remarkable food, the attentive and friendly service provided by the staff adds to the overall exceptional dining experience. They go above and beyond to ensure your visit is nothing short of memorable, providing recommendations and accommodating dietary needs with utmost care and attention. Mr Shawarma has undoubtedly claimed the title of the best Middle Eastern restaurant in El Cajon, and rightly so. It is a testament to their commitment to authenticity, quality, and unparalleled flavors. Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast of Middle Eastern cuisine or a curious newcomer, a visit to Mr Shawarma is an absolute must. Prepare to embark on a culinary journey that will leave you craving more. Five stars simply do not do justice to this extraordinary establishment.

    Was in the area and wanted some schwarma. The place is clean and well lit. Ordered a simple chicken wrap with fries. They were a bit busy when I came in and it seems they prioritize online orders. It took a while for me to get my order. The fries were bland, no salt. The schwarma was ok, nothing special. The garlic sauce is watered down with barely any garlic. The highlight was the pickled vegetables of which I received a pitiful amount. First and probably last time.

    Really bummed, just had my first trip here. The tall man who seemed like the owner told me about how great their fresh in house pita bread is... assured me it came with my rice plate. I get home and there's none. Won't be coming back. There's your extra star.

    If you are craving the old Iraqi taste of burger, go to them! Absolutely good! This Iraqi restaurant's burgers are a delightful fusion of flavors, and their shawarma is a true taste of the Middle East.
