Shawarmar: Reviews & Ratings
20130 E Valley View Pkwy Shawarmar - Independence I went to the Independence, Mo location and fell in love with falafel. I had never had it before and had to make sure I wasn't eating meat since I gave up meat years ago. I've been to other places for falafel, but nothing compares to here. I'll have to try the Linwood restaurant, but for now, I'm hooked on the Independence Missouri location. I highly recommend.
Quality food on the go, 1$ for lettuce is odd but other than that it's good stuff. I need 85 characters in the post so there you go
VERY delicious!!! I've seen this place on my way to work a lot and today I decided to try. I was not let down. Great lunch and possible dinner option. Next I'll buy to bring home to the family and this might just be the spot!!! So good and filling.
I've been eating here for years, and I don't know if there's a dish I crave (and never get tired of) more than any one of their wraps. Always fresh, and the sauces are incredibly flavorful and crave-worthy. Fantastic hummus and baklava, too. Staff is always friendly and welcoming, too. You MUST give this place a try!!
Shawarmar has so many things going for it. 1- locally owned, 2- kind staff. 3- delicious food with fresh ingredients. 4- average price for Mediterranean fare. I will be honest I've hit the drive thru at both locations so I have no idea what the interior of the independence location is like but it's clean on the outside and the food is always fresh so I'm happy!
Amazing fast place with excellent service! We had chicken shawarma, shisk tawook, falafel, grape leaves, fries, tabouli, mint tea, and lemonade! Everything was cooked to perfection! The food was so delicious! You can tell that they use fresh high quality ingredients! Reasonable priced as well ! A true gem in Kansas City ! We ate outside in the fresh air with our big dog ! The nice lady even gave us some free food for him !
I've been visiting this place since it opened a few years ago, and it's one of my favorite places to go when I don't have time to cook, but don't want the feeling of traditional fast food. The food is filling, with pretty good portions and great flavor. I normally order one of their bowls, and I might spring for a wrap occasionally. The shawarma bowl, and lamb kabob bowl are my favorites. Make sure you get extra tahini sauce for your bowl! (If you're a person who likes your food semi-drenched) The fries aren't my favorite, but they pair well with the sauce selection. The sides of hummus, falafel, and dolma are always perfect to start off with as an appetizer, or paired with your meal. Friendly and efficient staff
Delicious and healthy food on the go. I got the falafel supreme wrap and my partner got the bowl version. The bowl was a little dry, so maybe request extra sauce. The price was a little high for the portions, but it was made to order and was very tasty and fresh. We loved to support this female owned business!
