Looking for a spot that had gluten free and vegetarian options and decided to try this spot. Everyone was so nice and the food hit the spot. Will definitely come back next time I’m in the area.
I have ordered catering to the UES many times over the past year and this is always a top hit for lunch! Everyone in my office looks forward to the delicious mixed pita and sandwich trays. The prices are right for the value, because these are loaded with goodies. It is not easy to please everyone, but with Shawarmania, there is something for everyone. Despite our distance from the restaurant, the food always arrives perfectly on time and hot! I especially love that there are vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. There is truly something to fit everyone's dietary needs, concerns, and restrictions. There is also consistent dedication to the customer; BIG shoutout to Jim for always treating us right :)
Very disappointed. Not celiac-safe. Staff needs allergy training. I’m sure the food is good, but I wouldn’t know. I could not trust the waiter or kitchen enough to order an entree without fear of getting glutened.
Arrived early afternoon on a Saturday, with only 1 other group inside. I alerted the waiter about a gluten allergy (Celiac) first thing, and to please separate the pita from the dips I was ordering as an appetizer.
No more than 5 minutes later, he comes out with 1 plate of … pita and dip, not separated.
When I reminded him that I specifically asked for them separated since I have a *disease*, he looked at me and said, “Oh yeah sorry. Just dont eat the dip close to the pita.” !!!!!
So unprofessional, I couldn’t believe it. He then brought me what he said was “Carrots and cabbage” which was actually carrots and celery.
I’ve never had a dining experience like this. Please train your staff on food allergies.
Celiac friendly
