Authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. They don't serve shawarma for 24 hours, only around noon. They have shisha, turkish coffee and kebabs. Very satisfying of you're craving for middle eastern food and struggling to find a good one. This place is in a touristy place, so expect Arabs or north Africans dining.

The authentic shawarma recipe is what set them apart from other middle eastern restaurants. The price points is actually affordable with a wide range of menu to choose from.

We went here for dinner after reading the reviews and it was close to our hotel. It is not bad inside the restaurant. We went up to the counter to order but it seems you can also sit down at a table and order. It is a large menu and I was glad nobody was behind us waiting to order. I wanted to try the shawarma as I had read good things about it. I ordered chicken and my wife ordered the beef and we both had rice. The service was good and it wasn’t to long before we got our meal. The plates we got looked nothing like the picture on the menu. The plate was 3/4 full with rice and the rest with some meat, lettuce, tomatoes, and onion. The chicken was ok but a little on the dry side and the beef was very dried out and hard to chew. It didn’t make for a good dinner or encourage us to come back. After reading so many good reviews it was a disappointment. Maybe it was just a bad day for the kitchen.

The food at this place is absolutely authentic, capturing the true essence of its origin. The service is impressively quick, and the staff members are genuinely friendly and accommodating. The ambiance has a casual yet unmistakable Middle Eastern vibe, evident in its interior decor and atmosphere. The menu showcases a range of unique dishes that are an absolute must-try. Personally, I've grown quite attached to both the place itself and the exceptional culinary delights it offers.

If you like Middle Eastern food, this place might work for you. They serve authentic Arabic food at affordable prices. The staff are amazing and the ambiance is cool. We definitely recommend this to everyone!

Shawarma Snack Center is a great place to eat Middle Eastern/Mediterranean food. It has a large outdoor seating area that includes an open air kitchen but also has inside air conditioned seating with upstairs too. When I arrived at 6:00pm on a Saturday evening, there were no seats anywhere. I returned at 7:00pm and got a seat despite it still being congested. Service was fair at my table although it appeared I could have ordered from a counter and them taken a seat to await my food. I ordered the vegetarian combination plate that had hummus, carrots, pickles, a cheese dish, falafel, baba ganoush(eggplant) and served with pita. It was great and portions were generous. I also got a small bowl of olives which were numerous and delicious. Total cost was a very reasonable 370 pesos (about US$6.75) The menu was multi-paged so pretty much anything you want will be found. The place was remarkably clean and sanitary.

This is a restaurant that I go to every trip to Manila. The food is made right there in front or you, you and choose the sides. If you don't want bread you can order the plate shararma. Good value and good foor here. Try the lamb Biriyani.

The food is good but saw that they were chopping unwashed veggies on a dirty board! Garlic yogurt is cooking oil and garlic. What a pity. They should train staff!

Its ghetto ambience is not the best location to go to when hungry but Shawarma Snack Center truly delivers an authentic Middle Eastern taste for your hunger pangs. I always like eating at hole-in-the-wall places and this place is just it. Somehow I feel I'm off to an Arabian adventure with the types of people who frequent the place with some female customers looking like for-hire harems. You can't go wrong with the Shawarma sandwich special. I could eat 2 of them in one seating. The kebabs are also great with just enough seasoning and spices. Try also their set meals.

As someone coming from Berlin where you get great Shawarma, I wasn't too impressed by the Shawarma here, althought it is quite good. But even better is the kebab, that was really top notch.

i think they have the most variety of middle eastern food to choose from. the food tastes great and they come very reasonably priced, no wonder it is packed with customers almost 24 hours a day. The fact that they have been in business for so long is a testament to the service they offer.

I frequent this place. I have tried almost every menu in the list. Still, nothing compares to their Shawarma. with Pita Bread or Rice. Also, the Chicken Biryani Rice has been my favorite lunch.
