“ Very good food. First timer. I like trying different foods. Indian food taste different on the region. ”
“ What a delight to find this place unexpectedly out and about today. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere is comfortable and homey. We will be back. ”
“ We've been going here for years - Great local hole-in-the-wall. Open kitchen - which is always immaculate; Food is always good; Service always on point, and in all the times we've ordered takeout we've never had an error. Definitely one of our faves. And whatever you get, make sure you order extra garlic sauce... ”
“ My family and I visited Shawarma Bistro on a Sunday after my sister's graduation, purely by chance, as the two restaurants we had originally planned to visit were closed. We are so grateful we ended up here instead! The staff at Shawarma Bistro were incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating--especially Nazmi, the gentleman took our order. The food was exceptional! We highly recommend the Tabbouleh, Kibbeh, Spicy Chicken Shawarma, and the Bird's Nest dessert. On top of that, they serve complimentary fresh bread and olive oil, which was absolutely delicious. Although we live farther away from the Richmond/Henrico area, our wonderful experience on Sunday night ensures we'll be back whenever we're in the area. Thank you again Nazmi! ”
“ Food was delicious and served hot to us. We received a complimentary pita bread (3) with a side of olive oil and seasoning for dipping. The bread was hot and fresh was well - super soft! The service was prompt. Our waitress was to the point when we ordered our food and ensured to offer us dessert when we were done with our food. Good place for a family meal or even if you have little ones. The portions are huge as well (pics for reference). The restaurant itself was clean and small. The bathrooms were clean as well. Bill does include 15% gratuity. ”
“ The food was delicious with generous portions. It was busy but the service was prompt. Time for catching up with friends. It is a simple neighborhood restaurant clean, cozy and well worth the price. ”
“ The food is really good and the owner is very friendly. It's a small space, nothing fancy, not much ambiance... just a good, casual restaurant. If you need a recommendation on what to order, just ask them. Everything I've had has been very good. The bread is made fresh and so good. Enjoy! ”
“ Say it with me: BEST FALAFELS EVER!!!!! No but seriously I've been searching for years now to find the perfect falafel and low and behold it's been hiding here the whole time. This restaurant is located in a very unassuming shopping center. They are currently the only buisness that's open. This is a small family owned buisness with really good food at an affordable price. The inside of the restaurant isn't much to look at but don't let that discourage you. The chicken was well seasoned and very tender. ”
“ 7/21/23 Noon I ordered a side of hummus and a side Fattoush salad w/sprite soda. Both were very good. I just wish the salad had a bigger dish. It was quite difficult to mix and eat without wasting some on the table. The restaurant is family oriented and everyone was very friendly. I would revisit. ”
