Shawarma Express has been a mainstay place for my family for the past 7 years when they first opened. Not just for our family meals, we also cater often and food is getting better and better. High quality halal/zabiha meat, fresher vegetables, and updated interior. I recommend the chicken shish kebab (my kids love them), grilled chicken (always go whole, it’s very good), and the beef shawarma wrap. They also have lamb shank that’s excellent.

Great food and the fact that they make everything fresh is like beyond anything! The sweets they have on their display is the best ever!! The owners are really sweet and we had the best experience ever!

I like this place... they make beef gyro not from that roll from Kronos but real meat... it's big difference. Everyone should try at least once.

This is my favorite place to go for really good mix grill. The staff are lovely, the food is freshly cooked and amazing. A great take out lunch or dinner that won't leave you feeling heavy. I fully recommend!

This little gem won’t disappoint you. The meat is fresh and high quality while the flavor is delicious. I could easily eat here several times a week. I accompanied my friend for iftar and upon arrival one of the owners or employees treated us both to a delicious homemade apricot dessert that was topped with pistachio. Andrea the woman who took our order was so kind and helpful. All in all you won’t be disappointed in the place. I would give shawarma express 10 stars if i could.

First time stopping here it definitely met my expectations & beyond. I ordered, chicken shawarma, hummus, falafel & fries. Everything, was delicious but chicken shawarma was the highlight from everything I got. Definitely, will be stopping by for dinner quite often. The people who worked there are friendly, smiley & professional.

This place is the perfect light dinner spot. The mix grill combo if perfect for when you want options. All three kabobs were perfectly seasoned and cooked to succulent perfection. Will definitely be coming here once more
