    I went here with my boyfriend who was looking for a good place to get gyros. I personally am not a big fan of gyros myself so opted for the chicken shawarma wrap which looked amazing. However, when we got home and opened our boxes to my surprise there was not a chicken shawarma wrap but rather a second gyro. I probably shouldn't have been surprised by this because the guy who took our order didn't seem to a) be listening nor b) care about it. I noticed that there & made sure our order was correct by getting the recipient - Theref my first time here was pretty disappointing BUT my boyfriend loved the gyro stating it was one of the "best" he's had. Sooo we will definitely be going back & I'll be sure to check the box before leaving so I can finally try the chicken shawarma wrap!

    - CHANGED TO 5 STARS BC WHEN I CAME BACK TO TRY AGAIN THEY REIMBURSED ME FOR THE MISTAKE

    Our go to when no one makes dinner and we are hungry. Fast, efficient and good food.
    We get the gyro wrap with salad and hummus. So much food.
    They are always very pleasant when we come in. Call in your order and it's ready when you are.

    4/5 gas station vibes? yes.

    listen, if you don't wanna get your food from a gas station, then don't. if you're still interested, go ahead and place your order! i mean this makes sense to me considering it's street food, right? and it's "on the go" so you can plate this up as much as you want when you get home.

    i've had a few things here and as you can see while you wait, it's all done up as you order. i really like the flash-grilled (is that a fair description?)  veggies that come with the plates, and the hummus is also pretty decent. the pita comes hottt in foil and all in all every plate is actually enough for two meals.

    for the price and convenience, this is nice option for when a craving hits.

    Shawarma on the go serves its purpose. It's not going to be the best shawarma but it's fast, cheap, and easy.  

    An over stuffed gyro wrap with fries is $9.  Mine had no lettuce and was oozing sauce but was stuffed with meat so I can't complain. Fries are crispy and also generous portion.

    I'd suggest a plate over a wrap unless you def want fries.

    I've been wanting to try Schwarma on the Go for a while now, something about a restaurant attached to the gas station is intriguing and I've heard from multiple people that they make mean schwarma. Finally stopped by and ordered the gyro/chicken combo and baklava. The staff was incredibly friendly and I think that the owner was in that day and made sure we enjoyed our meal.
    The gyro was perfectly spiced and the chicken was just as flavorful, a little bit smokey too. The hummus was homemade and was super smooth and a great addition to the pita and meat. Plus the tzatziki and whatever lemony yogurt with the chicken.  Baklava was super buttery and flaky.
    They've got a few tables inside as well as a couple outside, and they serve everything in to-go containers if you're on the go. Definitely make a stop by here, it's a hidden gem.
