“Allow me to explain what exactly you’re looking at when you’re looking at these photos: someone who thought that the food was so good the first time, that I had to have it again!…and I couldn’t wait until my next visit! THE BEST SHAWARMA IVE EVER HAD. I knew from the moment that I walked in that the food was gunna be good, but I wasn’t expecting it to be THAT good. Ahmed deserves a raise, or some type of recognition for running his family’s business with such pride. He greeted me as his brother, with a smile, and a sample to go along with it. I knew that if he was confident enough to give me a sample then he knew that he could let the product speak for itself; and it definitely did. The beef and chicken were extremely tender, but with a crisp exterior and flavor through every single bite. You can tell that their food is made with love. I will tell anyone who loves middle eastern food that’s reading this or anyone that asks me in person….do yourself a favor and GO. They WILL be seeing me again. It’s only a matter of time. God bless 🤲🏾”

“The chicken was way too dry and barely had any actual meat on it. Most of it was bones. The first few bites were okay, but the more I ate, the more disappointed I became. It felt like there was just enough chicken on the outside to make it look decent, but inside it was all bones. I would never serve this to anyone. There were even bay leaves mixed into the food. The shawarma wrap was also extremely small and thin. I’ve had plenty of shawarma wraps before, and the portion size on this one was surprisingly small. It honestly reminded me of the simple bean burritos my mom used to pack for school in a flour tortilla. The rice and the pickles were decent. Unfortunately, everything else fell short, and overall very dissatisfied with the meal.”

“I am a big fan of Zankou Chicken and came to Borjstar to compare. I ordered the Beef Shawarma plate with fries, pita, pickled vegetables, garlic & hot sauce. The thin fries soaked up the beef juices. Beef was tender and tasty. The hummus was a bit bland so I added garlic sauce. Very solid and enjoyable meal.”

“MOST AUTHENTIC SYRIAN SHAWARMA I HAVE TASTED IN A DECADE! ✨ i love how hospitable Ahmad was with us. He was very welcoming and served us the biggest smile ever. I am an Indiana resident but considering moving to Gardena just for this Shawarma! We had the beef Arabic style shawarma plate and it took us straight to my hometown Syria. I totally recommend this family owned restaurant. The garlic sauce is creamy yet saucy with the perfect concentration of garlic flavor. When combining that with the pomegranate molasses, it is truly heavenly. I loved how fresh the humus was. Everything is fantastic!!!! Thank you Ahmad! ☺️”
