As someone who has lived in several Middle Eastern countries, I was eager to experience a truly authentic chicken shawarma. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed.The shawarma had an overwhelming amount of meat and lacked the advertised - and signature - fries/chips. Also, it had hardly any pickles in comparison to the amount of meat. Lastly, it was notably lacking garlic sauce within the shawarma itself. While I was provided garlic sauce on the side, its gel-like consistency (last picture) hinted it was not authentic. True garlic sauce should have a creamy texture, unlike what was served.P.S. I noticed that on their menu, the chicken shawarma is listed for $7.99. However, be cautious when ordering through DoorDash as the price is $11.69.

Very friendly staff. Delicious food unlike anything else in the area. Incredible customer service. Toum sauce paired with their shwarma spice palate is to die for!

Absolutely delicious!!! Tried the lamb mandi and the beef kabob. The lamb fell right off the bone and was juicy and tender. Perfect blend of spices and flavors!!! Very friendly owner and staff and all around a wonderful experience. I can't wait to have more!

Chef Muneera Food Truck on the corner of Tennessee St. & Dixie was awesome. We rarely come to this side of town, but we were craving Mediterranean food. Long story short, we found this place and decided to give it a try. The hummus was the best we have tried here in TLH. We also had the Lamb Mandi. Lamb was very tender, fell off the bone. It came with some very tasty rice and their house sauce, yogurt base with some spices. The cherry on the top was the service. The two young men at the counter were very nice and attentive. We will definitely come back. This Friday they will have a special chicken and lamb Biriani. We can't wait to go back.

I have eaten at this establishment at least 5 times and I am hooked! Best Mediterranean food in Tallahassee. The staff is so sweet. I have tried almost everything on the menu and can highly recommend the lamb mandi and the falafel sandwich/pita. If you like falafel is it absolutely the best I’ve ever had. Please give them a try. Family run buisness that deserves the support and buisness.

Most delicious and authentic, made to order, Mediterranean food in Tally! I want to know your falafel secrets, they weren’t dry at all! The tahini sauce was balanced so well. With fresh veggies to brighten it up. I’m obsessed. Huge portions. My husband was super satisfied and I’m excited to enjoy my baklava tonight. Extra order just so my husband doesn’t try to take all mine! Haha thankful for Chef Muneera’s seating area. They work really hard creating a spot shaded from sun and wind that people can enjoy their food comfortably. It’s so beautifully decorated! You can feel the hard work and thought this family puts into everything they produce. Definitely will be a go-to whenever we come back into town. Thank you!

**READ THIS REVIEW TO SAVE YOURSELF**. First of all don’t believe the other reviews I’m sure they were asked to leave a good review. The sambosa was burnt beyond eating I can’t even taste any flavor bc it just tastes like burnt pastry, they weren’t even packaged in a container they were just thrown in a greasy brown paper bag. The gyro is mostly a big pita and barely any meat. I said extra tzaki and not only did they NOT give me extra but they barley put any as you can see in the pic it tasted as dry as it looks. The pita was super cold hence why it’s breaking apart like that. The whole meal was horrible and I paid almost 30$. Literally only reason I ate it is because doordash won’t give me my money back and I get a icky feeling knowing I spent that much money to js throw the food away. I rather eat it and just never shop here again. Don’t believe the fake reviews just save your self the money, time, and stomach room. I wanted to cry when I got this bc this is the first meal I ate off of my 30 day fast and it was horribleYou can literally check out their Instagram on how they “claim” the food looks vs what I received
