Reviews for Merhaba Shawarma in Clarkston, GA
The food is so fresh and good. The owner cooks to order while you wait. We ate on the patio and chatted with the owner and... people watched. What a lovely afternoon. Read more
My wife said it was the best falafel she?s ever had! I enjoyed my shawarma as well. Tasty food and good service.
Five stars from the amount of community one feels when supporting a place like this. It is indeed a one woman show as she came... out to take the order, ran the cash register, then cooked it. Even with her doing all that it was still rather fast. A goodplate of Shawarma for a reasonable price but her effort and friendliness alone deserves 5 stars. It definitely has a homecooked taste.

The food was delicious and the owner very friendly ! Currently it?s only for take out .
I love Mediterranean food and had seen a feature on Georgia Public television about this place and decided to give it a shot. ... It opens at noon and closes at 6, the Gyro plate is amazing and a huge portion, I?m not completely sure what she does with therice but it is the best I have ever had. I also got a side order of Hummus and falafel. Loved every bite! I love food andthe owner makes all the food herself, I can feel the love. It?s a one woman show so pack your patience, it takes a minute toget your food, but it?s so worth it! Make it an adventure. Merhaba means ?welcome?, it was my pleasure to visit today. Read more
Overall, the taste was good, but there were some minor quirks not related to the food. It doesn?t open until 12PM, it?s closed... on Sundays & Mondays, and the number of parking spaces and room to maneuver cars in the parking lot are inadequate. Due toCOVID, the server (owner?) takes your order outside and then goes back in, locks the door, and prepares the food. It lookedlike a one-person operation. So, if she?s in the middle of preparing an order or doesn?t see you at the door, you might have towait a few minutes before she pops back out again. The seating is limited and it?s all outside for now. There is a retractableawning that provides shade for sunny days. I ordered the chicken shawarma sandwich ($8.99). It was a satisfying one-footer(size matters!) pita rolled with hot steamy roasted chicken drizzled with some delicious spiced creamy sauce. I liked how shecrisped the pita in a panini press! It would have been better if the filling had more lettuce, tomato, and other things thatthey usually put in a shawarma (turnip pickles, onion slices, tahini, banana pepper, +/- harissa paste, etc.), but perhaps thiswas the Eritrean version? Anyways, I enjoyed it for what it was. Looking a couple tables over, however, I noticed that eachlady ordered the shawarma salad ($8.99), not the shawarma plate ($10.99), which looked like a better deal than my sandwich,except that they did not have pita. Their salads had more lettuce and looked more filling yet had the same amount of meat! Maybe I?ll increase my fiber intake next time by ordering the salad for what would be the same price as a sandwich! Read more
If you had told me one woman was running this whole operation I wouldn't have believed you but Ms. Manna proved me wrong! She... literally does EVERYTHING at this restaurant and the food is almost as incredible as she is. Her chicken wraps and homemadesauces are absolutely delicious! She was juggling over 12 orders while I was dining there and giving everyone the same warm andcourteous service. If you're passing through Clarkston, do your taste buds and your wallet a favor by making this place ascrumptious pit-stop. Read more
The Gyro wrap and Fries I ordered were fresh and tasty. First time. Will return to try other items.
