Great service. Keep it up. The food was good, and big portion. Fresh everything to the taste. Will definitely try something else when I go back.
The young man at the register was so kind! But unfortunately that's the only positive I can say about this place. We ordered a chicken shawarma sandwich, fries, grilled chicken and basmati rice, and veggie pickle. I've noticed the owner from at least one year ago replied to a poor review, reacting pretty poorly. I understand it's your livelihood, but it's our money and I owe it to you and other customers to be fully honest. Please take the feedback, because we love the idea of the place, but the food is inauthentic and executed poorly.
The shawarma sandwich on their website shows a lovely bed of lettuce under the sandwich, with a side of sauce and basically a salsa. We received a sandwich, that's all. The chicken was cooked well, but it was seasoned with a bland seasoning that was quite grainy on the texture. It held a decent spice (fairly mild) but that's about all the flavor I got from it. I expected a depth of flavor :( They also put that salsa, some unidentified white sauce, and some shredded lettuce inside the sandwich that absolutely reads more like a Mexican restaurant.
With the grilled chicken and basmati rice, my husband said it was incredibly bland. Like they maybe put passata on rice with grilled chicken. Unlike the website description, we could taste no onion and no mushroom, let alone find any evidence in the sauce.
The fries were just store bought frozen fries and definitely not made fresh. Just standard, bland fries.
The pickled veggies weren't actually pickled? I'm confused because they basically chopped a few veggies and threw them in a take away container. Bland.
We asked for sauce, and both sauces (one is a cilantro thing? But very bland), horribly bland.
Overall this was a 0/4 success of the dishes. Would definitely not recommend, and will not be going back again. There's literally no flavor in this food. I almost want to say that Mexicans are (poorly) running this restaurant and don't have a clue about authentic middle eastern flavor.
I’m posting a picture of chicken shawarma I ordered online, absolutely not worth the price, I throw it in trash, this is not how middle eastern food look like or taste like, food was disgusting, I don’t recommend this place at all.
Got the Chicken Shawarma in tin and it was delicious! Meat was soft, seasoned really well and tasted fresh. Rice was cooked perfectly. Salad was fresh tasting and it came with some green dressing and hot chili sauce! Super spicy but delicious. Nice and chill in there. Lady at the counter was super sweet and even brought my food to me. A little pricey but most food is nowadays. Definitely going back sometime in the future.
The hidden jewel of Sugarhouse. If you want authentic and delicious food from the heart of the Holy Land Jerusalem, then look no further. They are fast friendly, healthy and VERY affordable. :) A+++
