" I just recently discovered Shawarma Express, and I'm beyond impressed. The chicken shawarma was juicy and flavorful, and the garlic sauce added an extra layer of goodness. The service was super efficient, making the whole experience enjoyable. This place is definitely a must-visit for anyone looking for Mediterranean cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" First visit to Shawarma Express and it was amazing! The owner really knows how to treat customers. I had the beef shawarma plate and I can say this is one of the best I've had in the area. The seasoning was spot on, and the portion was very generous. Can't wait to return and try more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to finally try Shawarma Express after hearing so much about it from friends. The production (presentation) of the food wasn’t quite what I expect for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine but it was still so delicious that I can overlook that! The meat was perfectly seasoned and the hummus was spot on. I enjoyed the cheerful atmosphere and found the service exceptional. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a decent experience at Shawarma Express but found the food average. The flavors were not as prominent as I had hoped. Still, the ambiance was nice and clean, the staff were polite, and I appreciated the quick service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved this place! The shawarma was beyond delicious, with generous portions. The garlic sauce complemented it perfectly. The service was exceptional too; the staff treated me like family. I will definitely return and recommend it to all my friends. An authentic experience waiting to be had! " (*Curated Review*)

" The only downfall here is the long wait time during peak hours. However, once you get your food, it’s all worth it. The pork shawarma was fantastic, but I would have preferred more sauce. The ambiance is casual with friendly staff that make you feel welcomed. I think it’s a place to keep coming back to. " (*Curated Review*)
