I'm a big fan of shawarma or basically anything shawarma related, So I almost tried the hyped one from the city. This place comes to the 1st position in my list as from price point and 2nd position regarding taste. Believe me it's good. They have comparatively cheaper deals than anywhere you can go who serves a meal with decent taste. I found out about this gem through my friend who lives near this place and tried it for the first time and instantly knew it could be my happy meal. My only complaint is that the last part of the wrap comes undone or gets unfolded because it wasn't locked properly so everything gets messy at the end, please solve this. otherwise all good.

Another fantastic shawarma! This is my go to place on my way home from work, it’s super convenient. I usually order/ on their website so it’s ready for pickup by the time I’m there. I asked for less hot sauce but it was really spicy, nothing I couldn’t handle 🫠

December 2, 2024

Ordered through skip the dishes Buy one get one free. Order came with alot of rice , and barely any chicken. I really dislike when restaurants barely give any chicken . It feels like I paid for a lot of rice ... But my order was chicken on rice but barely any chicken. As a first time customer, this will be the last time I eat here.

We ordered delivery from here, so I can't speak to the "atmosphere", but everything else was fantastic. Food was delicious, but more importantly, they took my husband's food allergies *very* seriously. We let them know when ordering what he was allergic to (nuts and certain seeds), and so they packaged any sauces made with seeds separately, even though we didn't have a problem with those ones. They also called *and* sent a note making sure we knew what was in everything just to be safe. I don't think I've ever had such a positive experience from take out before. We really appreciate how hard they worked to keep him safe. Thank you Paradise.

Paradise Shawarma is a hidden gem! I tried their 2 chicken shawarma deal for $15 after tax, and it was absolutely worth it. The chicken was fresh, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. One of the best shawarmas I’ve ever had. Highly recommend give it a try!

61.80. Skip order. Pictures are chicken shawarma platter, beef shawarma platter, two shawarma samiches, free chicken samich for ordering over $30. Beef a bit dry flavorless but damn that hot sauce 😳🤯🤯. Dire need of sauce really dry. Samiches were like flavorless 😕. Utensil provided despite not asking for 😁.

Great shawarma options. Had the spicy mixed bowl and couple of chicken shawarma wraps. Good portion size as well. Loved it. Edit: 19/07/23 Unfortunately, I’ve to revise my rating due to the fact that the shawarma wraps that I got today didn’t have any meat in it. It’s filled with lettuce and a few meat here and there. It’s a shame. I had given rave review on my first purchase and had been buying since but I don’t know what was the reason for this. I’m sorry for those who have gone here cause of my review (could see 4 people liking my review) and had similar experience.

Avoid this store. A 2 for 1 deal was advertised on doordash. This deal (15$) was actually the exact same as the in-store price for 2 wraps (15$). When I went for pickup, they stated the receipt from doordash only showed 1 wrap ordered (for 15$). They said they could only give one wrap, while their menu behind them literally had the exact same price I paid (15$) - for 2 wraps. And while my doordash app clearly shows I ordered the 2 for 1 deal. In other words, they used a clerical technicality from doordash to charge me 15$ for a single wrap, while their actual instore menu, and doordash, literally did not even offer the possibility of buying a single wrap for 15$ . What a bizarre and strange set of choices for a local business to make. I suppose saving 1-2 dollars on the cost of making a another wrap is worth losing a local repeat customer.

July 21, 2024

1X- They hide and make the food behind 2 counters so you cant see whats going while they are making it. 2X- I thought the SPIT was the pride of every sharwma place? For the customer to watch the meat turning and the juices dripping down and being shaved off in ur presence. U dont get that experience here because again its hidden in the back in the kitchen, Really Weird! 3X- The portion of chicken inside the sharwma is lacking, it had more lettuce than meat but than again that might have been a good thing bcs the chicken taste like yuk, no flavor at all, it was missing that parsley stuff and didnt taste Middle Eastern at all, more Indianish 4X- Their small fries for 3.99 were served in a mini paper tray w no covering and I cant even lie, there was no more than 15 individual fries in the order So anyone who knows Sharwma knows this aint it! And this place wont get my $20 again

If I could give zero stars, I would. If you dont want to get infected with salmonella or any food borne decease, avoid this place at all cost. Also, do not ever feed your children from this restaurant. Our last order, can only be described as stale and potentially very unsafe. The bread was noticeably hard and dry, almost as if it had been sitting out for days. The salad greens were wilted and slimy, clearly past their prime. Concerned about the quality and safety of the food, we attempted to speak with the manager, who was surprisingly defensive and dismissive. Instead of acknowledging our concerns, they brushed us off with excuses and assured us the food was safe to eat, despite our obvious doubts. Keep yourself safe and avoid this place.

HALAL, always fresh and yummy I have been a regular customer at this particular location and I must say that they have improved a lot. The only complaint that I had was the portion served for the price, but it is way better now The staff has always been generous and welcoming. Although, I dont exactly remember the names of everyone I had an interaction here, but I remember Mr. Vishnu , as he has been there mostly, whenever I was in the mood to have a good shawarma In addition, I was really impressed by Mr. Alans generosity Keep it up guys!

I ordered the twin deal 2 Shawarmas and a side of large onion rings through skip the dishes tonight. The chicken and mixed beef shawarma comes with tomatoes, lettuce, onions,pickled cucumbers included free but hot peppers, cucumbers , turnips and parsley cost 50 cents extra here. Hot sauce, garlic, tahini is free but hummos costs 50 cents extra as well. The Shawarma tasted good, nice amount of meat but I didnt like paying extra for hot peppers, parsley, turnips or hummos. Most shawarma places include these toppings especially parsley, hummos hot peppers and the standard pink turnips for free. Onion rings tasted good. Overall nice taste, wrapped nicely, and good portion of meat but too many extra charges for standard Shawarma fixings that all other places include. The owner should consider more free options and charge extra for the rice, feta, olives, fries as these are not normal Shawarma inclusions. The extra fees made me feel bad.

Update: 4 months have passed so I decided to try the location again. They still skimp on the amount of ingredients in your wrap, the options are so limited compared to others places in the area and the flavour is a little disappointing. Customer service was a little below average but okay. Personally you re better off going to the half dozen other options within 5-10 minute drive. Smallest shawarma I have ever gotten. The topping choices are extremely limited and it didn t taste good. Disappointed and a waste of money. Edit: it was the smallest not for the pita size but from how under filled them were. The toppings are limited for pitas compared to other options such as a plate. Better tasting shawarma near by.

Price of wraps is fantastic. I ll stop buy here and pick up 2 wraps when out for a walk for lunch. The issue is, I don t find them extremely tasty. They are fine. Not super stuffed with food. The hot sauce is needed to add flavour, then the taste is hot. Maybe there needs to be more sauce? Customer service is fine. The guy is usually busy in the kitchen and on the cash. It s a bit slow, even if you don t see other people, due to internet orders. Glad they are busy though! They also have a TV, so you can watch while you wait which is nice. I hate getting through the doors with a stroller. You can do it, it s just a bit tricky.

One of the worst shawarmas Ive ever had. Its over priced. 1) The hot sauce upsets your stomach, 2) you have to pay for extra toppings that should come mandatory on shawarmas. 3) Portion size is small. 4) Doesnt even taste good. Would never buy from here again

If you want want to get robbed of a real shawarma experience, go ahead and visit this place. Not only are they the stingy with the meat options. I honestly don t know how they can call this a shawarma. It s more like a chicken wrap that you could get at McDonalds or a Timmy s. The food itself is bland beyond words. Honestly I probably would rate this wrap one of my disappointing shawarmas I ve ever had. But just don t take my word for it. Give it a and leave an honest review.
