Mohamed Ali's

My sister Maggie and I recently had a lovely lunch where I ate some of the best falafel I have ever had. Mohamed Ali Middle Eastern Cuisine is located in downtown St. John’s on Duckworth Street and this place competes with any falafel I ate in Istanbul. After hearing rave reviews from Maggie, and having myself experienced the deliciousness of owner Ali Al Haijaa while he was cooking out of The Sprout kitchen in the wee hours of the morning as a late-night pop-up, I was excited to try out the food at the new digs.

Took the chicken platter with hummus. . Food was good for newfoundland taste but not so authentic. Good portions, hummus was also good. Usually it is served with a pita but theyre serving it with a greek bread pita which is way better so i love it.

Decent shawarma shop. No chicken salad but I was able to combine two menu items to get them to make it. Though it did cost me $18 to get it. Had to get my fix though. Friendly guys and nice eating area. For presentation was good too.

The chickens shawarma was pretty tasty and the portions are big. The bread was thick and warm. It's very good compared to the thin ones at other places.

Great selection and very fresh. Family run and very friendly and accommodating. Prices are a bit on high side for what is typical for shawarma or a platter but full of flavor and very well presented. Roughly 10$ for a shawarma wrap (extra 1$ for garlic sauce) and 18$ for a platter. Great addition to the downtown dining scene and I'll be back!
