Shawarma Station - S San Diego

It isn’t as good as they used to be. It’s really disappointing.

We've only had their food a couple times but so far so great! Our go to shawarma place in OB for the last ten years or so has been very good (and we like him) but Shawarma Station's ribeye fries were very, very good (now a favorite). They used to deliver through somebody but we've had no success with that since. Regardless, the foods still great and I suppose I'll have to drive or bike over worth it!

This is a great spot to hit up after the beach (or maybe even before). Staff is friendly, food is good, and great location. Parking will be hard as it is everywhere in OB. They have a small outdoor table in front, but it's more of a grab and go type of place. Good food, helpful staff, and other than parking, good location.

I've eaten here a couple of times and it's always been very good. Tonight I got the rib eye beef shawarma plate and everything on this is fantastic. The cucumber salad with garbanzos, the hummus, and the beef shawarma with saffron rice is outstanding. Really some of the best Mediterranean food in town.

UPDATED 10/6 I had an issue with this place the day before but the owner reached out to me, and wanted to fix their employees mistake of up charging me for substituting the beef kabob with falafel. I went back and they graciously comped my meal, I got just the falafel plate this time and it was really good! Thank you Zaid for caring about your customers! Really appreciate it. I 'm honestly pretty disappointed. I was super excited to find a lil mediterranean gem near me and I saw this place had good reviews so I figured it was time to try it. I 'm starting to reduce my beef intake but wanted a chicken kabob so I ordered the rib eye chicken kabob plate but asked them to substitute the beef for falafel. They agreed to it but charged me an extra $3 since it was an add on item. Whatever, I agreed but didn 't really make sense to me since I wasn 't adding on anything and just substituting. That was the first thing, then now I opening my food, I couldn 't even tell if my kabob wss chicken. I open it up, take a bite and it wasn 't good to say the least. It doesn 't even look like chicken breast pieces which is what a chicken kabob is supposed to be! All in all for the over $20 I spent, the food was absolutely not worth it. I could have paid the same amount, even a little less at somewhere like Luna Grill and at least be somewhat satisfied with the money on the food I just sent. Shame as I was really excited to have a yummy new spot near me. Don 't think I 'll be returning.
