    Aras Shawarma is honestly one of the best shawarma spots around. The meat is always juicy and well-seasoned, the portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh. The garlic sauce and pickles really bring it all together. Service is quick and the staff are friendly. Definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to.

    I did get 3 chicken shawarma wraps and one large box of fries The fries was delicious but the chicken shawarma wraps are not even a shawarma. They should call it chicken wraps because the real shawarma should have a seasoning called shawarma seasoning and the cuts should be thin cuts but in your restaurant was super thick and cold just the bread was hot. And the pickles have awful flavor. The atmosphere was super cold and they don't have any heater on actually it was the opposite they have the AC on 😐

    Honestly, this place is LEGIT!!! The chicken shawarma has a light char and is juicy. The hummus, rice and salad are on point! The house made sauces are incredible as well... absolutely delicious. Also got the Lamb Lula Kabob and loved it! Shout out to Mike, the GM... very kind and gracious host! Highly recommend coming here!!!

    Absolutely amazing! Aras Shawarma is hands-down one of the best spots I’ve eaten at. The food is incredibly fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned — you can taste the quality in every bite. The shawarma is juicy and tender, the portions are generous, and everything is made with so much care. On top of the food, the service is outstanding. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to make sure you have a great experience. The place is clean, fast, and consistent — which is rare to find. If you’re craving authentic, delicious shawarma that never disappoints, this is the place. I keep coming back and recommending it to everyone I know. 10/10 every single time! 🌯🔥
