Reviews for Shawarmaji in Oakland, CA
Casual eatery, friendly vibes, accessible menu. I ordered the loaded fries - and man are they loaded- feeds a party of 3 or... more. Generous heaping of protein, pickles and sauce - the fries were incredibly crunchy! They are on the salty side and theprotein was fairly dry - helps the fries stay crunchy. Read more
A bit too pricey for what is provided. For the price of the wrap I'd expect at least one side or the wrap to be more... stuffed. Anyway tried a couple of wraps and they're good although they're on the spicy side but much better shawarma wraps thanwhat you find elsewhere. Read more
Second time visiting Sawarmaji. First time was in different location. We like this location better. More seats, sky window and... nice open space. Food are great as I remember. Love their fries & garlic sauce! Must have! Read more
I found a new sandwich to crave. The falafel sandwich is so good and the addition of mint and tahini salad in it...*chef kiss* I... happen to order it with eggplant and fries in it. No regrets. We also got the Arabi style chicken shawarma, which was sodelicious and well spiced. Loved how the wrap was crisped and cut into 8 pieces. Sharwarmaji is now in the permanent rotation. Read more
I got the Sarokh chicken shawarma and it was okay. It?s like Mexican style with too many spices. I was expecting to eat shawarma... remind me of Syrian one but no. Not even close. They didn?t offer any garlic or pickles with the sandwich. I would give themanother chance in the future. Read more
The restaurant was crowded enough that we felt safer eating off the back of our car (despite a good amount of tables both inside... and out). The food was delicious and one Arabi chicken shawarma plate was enough for the two of us, with a side of fries. Weended up buying another toum to take home - it was really good! Definitely get the fries, better than most fast foodrestaurants! Read more
Right in Downtown Oakland by the 19th St Bart Station stop, considerable walk from the 12th St Civic Center Station and by the... AC Bus terminal stops of 6, 18, 72, 800, 52, just to name a few. Right by other great eateries. Great atmosphere, it does getcold here at night so dress appropriately. The price is up there, spent a little over $25 (before tipping), so don't make this aregular. Friendly staff, offer great recommendations, as my friend saw as a first timer. Ordered the Lamb schwarma wrap withfrench fries and a pie apple drink. Felt stuffed even reaching the half way point. Had to box up the last third. Something toeat tomorrow. DON'T EAT before hand, it looks thin but it is REALLY filling. Great food. Read more
This is absolutely the best shawarma I've ever had, across multiple cities in the US. Everything was perfectly cooked,... beautifully presented, and wonderfully spiced. The portions are also very large! Definitely recommend stopping in for tastyfood! Read more
