" Let me just start by saying their garlic sauce is legendary! The flavors oozing from their food are on another level. I tried the mixed grill platter, and all meats were perfectly marinated and grilled to perfection. It’s great to find a place that not only provides quantity but also quality at a reasonable price. My only complaint would be the wait times, which can vary. Nevertheless, I can't wait to indulge there again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" While the food was decent, my visit was overshadowed by some service issues. I had to wait longer than expected, even though the restaurant wasn't extremely busy. I ordered a chicken shawarma platter and enjoyed the flavors, but I felt it was a little overpriced for what I received. Still, I may give this place another shot due to the positive reviews! " (*Curated Review*)

" What an incredible hidden gem! The atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was incredibly fast. The mixed box is a must-try; it gives you a selection of all the meats, and each one was juicily grilled with the perfect amount of seasoning. I can’t stress enough how fresh everything tasted. Just a heads up though, get there early. The place does get busy, but trust me, it's definitely worth the wait. Can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I wasn't sure what to expect when I first visited, given all the different middle eastern restaurants in the area. But let me tell you, Shawarma Express exceeded my expectations. The flavors of the food reminded me of enjoying shawarma in Dubai. The lamb was exceptionally well-cooked, and the spices brought out its rich taste. I appreciated the casual yet clean setting of the place. I will definitely be coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Restaurant is great, but I was left wanting more after my first experience. The meat variety was not what I expected, and the salad didn't complement the meal well enough. Though their honey garlic sauce was delightful. They did have a friendly staff, which I appreciated. I'd give it another shot, but there are just so many other places to try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Shawarma Express has won my heart! I come here almost weekly, and I'm never disappointed. The shawarma is consistently flavorful, and the garlic sauce keeps me coming back again and again. The atmosphere might be simple, but you can't argue with the food quality. I've tried many items on their menu, and they’ve all been delightful. Keep up the excellent work! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was introduced to Shawarma Express by a friend, and I can't thank them enough! The quality of the food is remarkable, and the garlic sauce is a highlight. I even tried the falafel, which was crispy and so satisfying. Decent prices for a good amount of food. The space could use a bit more decoration to enhance the dining experience, but the food more than makes up for it! " (*Curated Review*)
