Food of CT
I can’t believe we live in town and hadn’t visited Shawarma Bay sooner! No frills spot with kind staff and delicious food! My husband and I both ordered a shawarma and beef doner mixed platter, and we were really impressed with how flavorful it was. They put one of each sauce on top, so every bite had a garlicky tanginess with a light kick that we really enjoyed. The fries were seasoned nicely too! The hummus and warm pita were a great side. Everything was reasonably priced at great portions. Since it’s Ramadan, it was probably a bit busier than normal, and the staff made sure to make us aware of a 10-15 minute wait for the food. We didn’t mind waiting, and he apologized and thanked us for our patience again when he brought it over. We will absolutely be back!

It’s hard to come by good chicken shawarma platters in CT. Especially when your husband is from NYC and is used to eating amazing chicken over rice. But he tried the Chicken shawarma platter and literally said it was one of his top 3 favorite places. We drive 20 min just to come here.

My husband took me out to Shawarma Bay for the first time. My chicken salad bowl was super good and really filling. My husband had a veggie dish that he totally devoured because he loved it so much. We will definitely go back to try other delicious dishes on the menu.

Undoubtedly! This Restaurant has certainly made an impression!
I recently tried their chicken and rice platter, and it was absolutely delicious. The chicken was perfectly cooked, tender, and seasoned beautifully, pairing wonderfully with the flavorful rice. I also had their chicken wrap yesterday, and it was equally good – packed with flavor and well-made.
It’s clear that whether you choose a platter or a wrap, you’re in for a tasty and filling meal at Shawarma Bay. If you’re in the Naugatuck area and looking for great Middle Eastern flavors, I highly recommend stopping by. You won’t be disappointed!

Absolutely outstanding experience from start to finish. The service was fast, friendly, and genuinely welcoming staff explained the menu clearly, helped me choose, and checked in at the right moments without hovering.
Now the food: the gyro wrap was phenomenal—warm, soft pita, perfectly seasoned meat, fresh toppings, and the sauce was balanced (creamy, tangy, not overpowering). Every bite tasted fresh and well put together, and the wrap held up nicely (no soggy mess, no falling apart).
The platter was even better because you get to enjoy everything separately. The portions were generous, the meat was juicy and flavorful, and everything looked clean and appetizing. The sides were fresh and not “afterthought” quality each part tasted like it was made with care.
The salad deserves its own shoutout: crisp greens, fresh salad , great texture, and it didn’t taste like it sat around. Even the dressing was on point enough to flavor it without drowning it.
Overall: excellent quality, great portion sizes, clean presentation, and top-tier customer service. This place delivers on taste and consistency. I’d recommend it to anyone and I’m definitely coming back.

Nadeem is such a genius and a gentleman. The food is always unsurpassed and to think I would normally have to drive to Waterbury or Milford for similar food. We had a huge platter of falafel for my daughter’s birthday and he charged me two thirds of what they normally would be. Everyone is always so happy with his food. Generous portions. Clean. Friendly. Lots of parking and handicapped accessible. Thank you Nadeem. You made a customer for life!

Would have shared my review the first time I visited but I ate my food so quick that I didn’t get a chance to take a picture for the review! Anywho, this is my second time here and i remembered to take a photo first. The food is absolutely delicious & well seasoned with amazing flavor. The beef chapli over salad is officially labeled as my favorite with extra Lemon & Herb sauce (green sauce) I’m so glad they opened close to us. Even the French fries are deliciously seasoned! You should deff try if your thinking about visiting.

Absolutely love this place! Shawarma Bay has some of the best chapli kebabs I’ve ever had—perfectly seasoned, juicy, and full of authentic flavor. The service was just as impressive—friendly, fast, and welcoming. A special shoutout to Hamad, who was incredibly kind and helpful throughout our visit. He made the experience even better with his warm hospitality. If you’re craving delicious kebabs or just want a quality meal with great service, this is the spot. Highly recommended!
