Everything about this place is great! The food, the costumer service, and even the place itself. Without a doubt it was the best tasting chicken shawarma I have had in San Diego so far. I would definitely recommend everyone to give it a try, and trust me, you won’t regret it.

I’ve always seen Mr.Shawarma Mediterranean Grill driving by, and until recently I came and ate here and I can honestly say the food is AMAZING! I’ve tried the shawarma fries, the buffalo shawarma, the hamburgers, the chicken and beef shawarma wrap and now it’s become my go to for Mediterranean food. It also has a kids menu, and the portions are great! I recommend coming to this place if you haven’t already! Oh and the baklava, DELICIOUS!!! Very juicy and full of flavor!

Service is wonderful. The owner was at the register. Offered wonderful suggestions. We got the chicken tikka kekab plate and the meat and lamb kebab both delicious. Delicious rice was well seasoned. The hummus was creamy and rich not dry. We will definitely be back.

MUST TRY! Absolutely delicious, authentic Mediterranean food paired with top-tier service. The staff is incredibly hospitable and welcoming—you can truly taste the love and care put into every dish. The chipotle shawarma was perfectly cooked with just the right balance of seasoning. We also ordered the shawarma fries with half chicken and half beef, added hummus, and WOW—the flavors were immaculate. Even if you’re full, do yourself a favor and order the baklava to go. It’s incredibly fresh, not overly sweet, yet perfectly decadent and rich. This was our first visit, and we will definitely be back!
