I hadn't had shawarma since I was deployed to Kuwait in 2003. I couldn't remember much about it, just that I liked it. One bite from Mr. Shawarma and I remembered exactly why I had such fond memories. Spiced perfectly, cooked just right, and all the ingredients were fresh and flavorful. To top it all off, they have battered french fries that are outstanding. I would recommend Mr Shawarma to anyone.
I recommend everyone try this place out. Perfect for those that have always wanted a "taste of the Middle East". Authentic food, great tasting, and most importantly, locally owned.
Great tasting, and freshly made Chicken shawarma. The amount of fresh vegetables ingredients is highly appreciated. The fries came out fresh and piping hot. No food warming lamp here. Come and get your sweet treat with homemade baklava.
This place was fantastic. I had the lentil soup and Beef Shawarma. Both were very good. Women at the counter was very kind and greeted me with a warm smile. I don’t review often but felt I need to in this case
Greeted as soon as i entered door. She pleasantly explained all the dishes to me. I ordered the lamb gyro - so fresh and tasty. While eating another customer and i spoke of the great food and atmosphere. Thanks for the experience..

Mr. Shawarma was a FABULOUS, although unplanned, stop on our cross country drive that ended up being the best part of our day! It’s not easy to feed a family with different dietary needs while on the road - one picky carnivore, one dieting carnivore and a vegetarian, but Mr. Shawarma delivered BIG! They also offer halal meat, alcoholic beverages, contact-free pick up, delivery and catering.
Order: Do yourself a favor and order the Garlic Creme sauce! We did everything but lick the container, lol. I ordered the vegetarian Falafel wrap served on the most delicious warm pita I’ve ever eaten! My husband ordered the Chicken Shawarma Power Bowl served with rice (or on salad upon request), Chicken Shawarma, Feta cheese, Chickpea Hummus and thin shaved onion slices. The kid ordered the Lamb Gyro served on pita bread with Lamb, Tzatziki sauce, Romain lettuce shreds and the Tomato and shaved Onion on the side. The presentation was simple, the prices and portion sizes were fair and the food was magnificent!
Pros: Mr. Shawarma has the sweetest staff… very thoughtful to customers. Check out the Family and Friends picture wall hanging in the hallway. The dining area is a bit on the smaller side, but has everything you’d need to enjoy a great meal. There’s a few tables, a cooler offering specialty drinks and even high chairs for the littles. There’s a small single person bathroom at the end of a long hallway that was clean and well kept. Don’t let the strip mall location or tired decor in this little hole in the wall restaurant put you off. When the line is out the door, you know you’ve stumbled upon something special! They also cater for family get-togethers or parties. We can’t wait to go back soon.
Cons: Check the hours of operation before you go as they open a bit late at 11:00am and close early by 8:00pm. Consider calling ahead for your order to avoid long wait times. During our 45 min dinner, we saw many people lining up to order takeout food as well as many driver’s picking up meals for delivery.
Very clean. A friendly guy greeted us. We ordered chicken mozzarella shawarma, 2 beef shawarma and baba ghanoush, hummus. It was fresh and juicy shawarma! and great appetizers!
This place is great! Great food. Great price. Great service. We loved it and we will surely be back. Also, thank you so much for serving us on Thanksgiving.
So far it is the best Mediterranean food in Florida, I highly recommend this place. I feel like I am home, lentil soup, baklava, kibbeh same as my mom’s. Rice is amazing also their meat selection is very good too. Must stop and try
This place is hands down one of the best places to eat period! My husband and I were passing through the town and decided to try this place out. He got a beef kabob meal and I got a chicken shawarma with a lentil soup. The food was outstanding both in quality and quantity and flavours. I was very impressed! The place is a small mom-pop joint and has a very warm feel and is clean and tidy. We initially thought we will do a takeout but we ended up eating in. The server, looked like the owners daughter was very pleasant and patient with us as we decided what we wanted to get. She greeted us with a smile and was very courteous. We are definitely coming back here in the next couple of days we are here.
September 2021 First time here and great tasting wrap. I got the falafel with peppers, cheese and taziki sauce
September 2023 still love coming here and eating their falafel wrap
We live an hour away from here, but when we come to Pensacola, this is my go to for Take-out! There are a couple tables for Dine in, however we are always rushing around. Call-in your order to give these amazing ladies time to prepare your food. I love spices like Curry, therefore every time I order the Chicken Syriana Wrap. Sometimes Babaganoush or some other awesome appetizer. It’s consistently DELICIOUS. In fact, I usually order two because it’s even better the next day!
