I grew up in Saudi Arabia and was looking forward to the beef shawarma and lamb chops. Unfortunately the beef shawarma was cooked and tasted like carne asada rather than sliced in thin strips from a rotisserie. The lamb chops were cooked well but could have been seasoned better and tasted a bit gamey. The sides hummus pita and tabbouleh were fine.

The chicken shawarma was not shawarma. I am very familiar with shawarma wrap and this was a tortilla. The chicken was not grilled but she explained to me that the shawarma and pita pocket chicken have different chicken. The menu shows a picture of a beef skewer. They do not have beef on a skewer. This is the plate and amount of meat we received for $20… The rice had something bitter in it, I spit it out. It was not basmati rice. The server was very kind.

Spent $50 on two plates. The first only came with one small beef Lyulya kabob, cheap rice (made with cheap oil), and some pickles (which were the only things that were tasty. The second plate came with chicken skewers, the same rice, and the same pickles. Both came with pita bread that I had not even been heated up or toasted at all. It tasted like grocery store Pita. Both types of skewers were way overdone and burnt. Any juice and flavor that they may have had had been extinguished. Also, like I said the beef plate had one skewer and then the chicken one just had four small cubes of chicken. Ridiculous portions for the prices. Not worth your time or money. I thought I had saved another photo showing the entire plate but I guess not.
