Bringing an absolutely ferocious shawarma game to the north half of the East Bay, brother Farhad and his crew, are serving up tender and delicious chicken, beef, slovaki, donar, and falafel shawarma, and wraps, with the crispiest fries I've had in a while. All the ingredients are very fresh, and I learned that the maple leaf in the logo is to honor the business founder, who is a cousin of Farhad, and their small family chain of shawarma restaurants, which have their origins in Canada. All good shawarma restaurants have to have a good sauce, and the garlic sauce here is killer. Not exactly like "Toum", the safflower oil based sauce with garlic and lemon that I'm addicted to, and not exactly like "Tzatziki", The strained yogurt sauce with herbs commonly found in a lot of Middle Eastern meat dishes, but a really nice combination of the both. Another thing to note, is that several different cuisines claim to have a particular meat which is supposed to be cooked on a spit. If it's not cooking on a spit, it's not really shawarma, and if it's not cooked on a spit it's not really Al Pastor, so I was happy to come in and talk with Farhad about his spit knowledge, and his desire to get an even bigger one. All in all, I'm in and out with the medium spicy, (mild to me) large chicken shawarma wrap, french fries, and a drink for just under $20, and thoroughly Happy about the experience. Highly recommended! NOTE, their spice chart tends to be a little on the mild side, so you can try with some of the upper levels. Their "medium hot" would be "mild hot" to someone used to eating Thai food. Also, you might want to tell them to go a little light on the salt or seasoning on the fries, while delicious, was just a tiny bit too much for me. I'll know next time, and there will definitely be in next time. Shukran jazilan, Farhad!

Great food, great people! A hidden gem in Northside!

My-O-My is easily the best Shawarma spot in the Bay Area. Most of the other shawarma restaurants in the Bay are too bland for my taste. D’Yar and Oasis were my go to for Shawarma in Berkeley, and the Bay Area in general, but My-O-My is on another level. My-Oh-My has bold flavors and many options. I got a on the sticks(Fries) and had to come back to try the on the rocks(Rice). Next time I will get the wrap. Poutine was very good. Last time I had poutine was at the old Smokes near UCB and this was significantly better. Crispy fries, nice gravy and delicious cheese. We are lucky to have a spot like this nearby. Update: Been back a few times and still love My-O-My. Tried some of the different menu items and I gotta say I love it all. Also some of the best fresh humus I’ve ever had.

As a long-time patron of D'Yar, seeing it go was quite a disappointment. I thought that nothing would be able to fill the Chickpea-shaped hole in in my heart—and my stomach. What I would have given to keep a Mediterranean eatery near North gate. But when I saw that My-O-My Shawarma was moving in to the vacant storefront, I was filled with a glimmer of hope. The new red and white Canadian decor piqued my interest. When the day finally came and My-O-My opened, my expectations were exceeded. I had some concerns that it would be significantly more expensive than D'Yar, but the portions are extremely generous, and even a small version is enough for a hearty lunch. The poutine was incredible and was definitely the highlight of the meal, and a regular portion was enough for two people. We also got a "chicken on the rocks" and a "beef on the rocks" ("on the rocks" means "rice bowl"), which were both excellent. Now, there are always a few hiccups within the first few weeks of running a restaurant. There is no tap water available in the restaurant, but the clerk offered us free water bottles with an assurance that they would eventually get tap water. Our food also took quite a long time to come out, but I expect that as the staff gets more experience this wait time will be reduced.

Best shawarma I've ever had. The chicken tastes so fresh and you can see them constantly shave it off the rotisserie. The garlic sauce that they put on top is seriously addictive. Kind staff and cool atmosphere. Highly recommend 👌

Really tasty Beef Shawarma Wrap! The staff is friendly, and the owner is cool

This is a perfect way for any student to get a quick lunch to go, or a resting stop as well. Try that chicken shawarma wrap if you can because that was TASTY. And the fries are a great addition if you can find some room!!! Phew

Get yourself some food from here, you won’t regret it. Great food, great people

Came here on a Sunday 2pm. Line moves fast and there was plenty of seating (seems like many people take to go). Food was excellent. Service was excellent.

So yummy! I had a classic chicken shawarma wrap and everything from the bread to the meat and especially the sauce was delicious. The guys who work there are very kind and also efficient. Love the free toppings selection. I’d say this is my favorite new spot around campus!

Delicious Shawarma. Also halal which is cool!

This is one of my new favorite restaurants in Berkeley! The food is amazing and the portions are absolutely huge— I ended up saving half for later. Also, the service was very professional and quick! I highly recommend :)

We have been looking for poutine in the bay area for a while and My O My does it right. Thick cut fries, lots of gravy, and real cheese curds! We ordered the chicken on the rocks/chicken platter as well and that was delicious. We will return. The service is great, the people working there are pleasant and accommodating with your orders and needs!

My wife and I came here before seeing a show at the Greek theater and we were pleasantly surprised. The shawarma is delicious and their spicy sauce and garlic sauce combine for amazing flavor. I’d definitely come back.
