Abigail Smith: We came here for a quick lunch and we’re happy we did! At first we were sitting outside but there were too many flies so we were moved inside. The menu had something for everyone and the waiter helped us to choose. We got lamb, fish, mix grill, spicy potatoes, kunafeh, tea and juices. All were delicious and well seasoned. We were satisfied with the portion sizes and how fast everything was. Will definitely come back to this location! |

Foodx Mood: I went to this decent looking place to try their different shawerma variety. They have a wide range of food items in their menu but i went exclusively for their much talked about shawermas. The staff welcomed us really nicely and we good hosts throughout. Full marks to the service! I tried their super special, shawerma bites and shawerma platter, all presented exquisitively were looked appealing. The bread as soft as Shawerma bites had is not witnessed by me anywhere else. The filling inside all three dishes was pretty much the same.(just like any other shawerma). Also i noticed they do not offer a good range of sauces, as there was just one maxican sauce and pommegranate sauce along with ketchup. . It was overall a decent experience with not much uniqueness in taste but very applealing presentation of food. P.S its bit overpriced too. We have very good shawrmas in UAE with really cheap pricing unlike this one. . Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person AED 1–50 |

Sergey Bukhanets: Very balanced value for money ration. Of taste, food quality, and price for it. Everything was made from scratch and tasty. Although the meat could be a bit saltier for my taste. Tahini was lacking lemon and garlic, and falafels were on the very dry side. But despite that, I was pretty much full and satisfied at the end of the meal.

Waza28: Charco Shawarma Restaurant This shawarma place is located in Rabdan area. We ordered some chicken shawarma. Manakish. Craft with honey. Labneh Manakeesh. Arabic shawarma meal comes in with fries, pickles and sauce. Meat and cheese was very tasty. Nicely seasoned and topped with lots of cheese. There is a big parking space but it’s busy because of the car washing. Better to call ahead and order as the restaurant is very busy. Everything is freshly made on order. Friendly and polite staff. Thank you Mr Salman. |

Hessa: The food was really really good. Had the shawarma with the fries (which were cooked and seasoned nicely). The sauces they gave us with the meal were delicious. The only downside was the location, a bit hard to find at first, it’s small and usually full of cars Service Take out Meal type Dinner |

Ted Eckman: Stopped for a quick lunch. This is a fast food shawarma place. Think McDonald’s but shawarma, and the fries aren’t nearly as good. We got a beef combo and a chicken combo. I usually get chicken at home, but of the two, the beef was far better. Check your teeth before you leave as there is green stuff (parsley?) in the beef that can get caught in your teeth.

Ravi Shinde: Shish Shawerma is a cozy little place in Khalidiya corniche to get salads, andwiches, shawerma, manakeesh, kakeh, combo meals, grills, crepe and fresh fruit juices. The best part is that the saj bread is freshly baked in front of you in fire. I ordered a chicken saj shawerma which came with one foot long saj stuffed heavily with grilled chicken. In my opinion, it was one of the best shawermas I ever had. There are many combinations you can have your meal with. Shish Shawerma is a place to go for the best Shawerma in town. |

Tales of Fab: This is a special shawarma place. Excluding the normal shawarma roll which is yumm by itself, there are few variety dishes in the menu. There’s vitamin and mighty special which are amazing.. rich filling with lots and lots of cheese crispy outer layer .. is my all time favourite. If you’re in abudhabi and haven’t tried this, Its your sign to go try it out. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner |

Alaa Alsabah: Tbh I’m confused. My friend recommended it as its the same taste of Jordan Shawarma. But for me it wasn’t the taste i thought it would be. Its not sour at all. Its too heavy. يعني قصدي دسمه و مافيها حموضه ابدا |
