From the very first bite of their shawarma wrap, you can tell this is not run-of-the-mill fast food. The meat (both chicken and beef options) is well‑seasoned, juicy, and cooked with care. The spices sing, and you can taste the layers — not just salt and pepper, but real Mediterranean depth. The rice and sides are fresh and balanced, the vegetables crisp, and the sauces (like garlic sauce or tahini) add just the right punch without overpowering. The staff is friendly, efficient, and seems genuinely invested in the quality of your meal. The ordering process (whether dine-in or takeout) is smooth. Their website emphasizes direct ordering (to avoid extra fees from third parties) and they offer delivery, takeout, and dine-in options to suit various needs. Was very happy meeting the owner and the workers. Everyone was very very friendly and respectful. The environment was great. Great people and staff. Most definitely a good business choice on the Main Street. Really loving it up to there word. Best shawarma and the only shawarma spot in the state.! Will definitely be back every week.

Beef shawarma wrap, chicken Mandi and chicken shawarma over rice were all awesome. Great to have a great tasting middle eastern restaurant near by.

Came all the way from nyc but this in Middletown didn’t disappoint like other CT Mediterranean.
Loved the mixed wrap!
But rice platter on a little dry side, nothing different than over rice but maybe because it was beef gyro.
Coming back for the wrap next time.
Thanks for the gift card

The food is very tasty here. The chicken shawarma on rice is phenomenal. The falafel is hot and fresh. The stuffed grape leaves are so good as well. Strongly recommend this place for authentic and delicious food.

Started by three immigrants from the Middle East this new restaurant brings truly authentic Middle Eastern fair to Middletown. Dishes is such as hummus and falafel are all handmade on premises daily. The falafel is the best I’ve had since I tasted my first falafel from a street cart in Jerusalem, 40 years ago! Mohamad one of the owners brings a friendly smile to each and every customer highly recommended.

Tried this place for the first time and it’s already my new go-to for shawarma! The meat was perfectly seasoned, tender, and juicy, and the garlic sauce was absolutely addictive. Everything tasted fresh, and the portions were generous. The staff were so welcoming and made me feel right at home. You can tell they put a lot of care into the food. Definitely worth checking out—this spot is going to be a neighborhood favorite in no time!

Amazing service! Very good food served. Tastes just like where the Shawarma Sandwich originated. No need to drive to New Jersey anymore to eat the perfect Shawarma sandwich. It’s right here in MiddleTown CT.

I grew up eating Armenian food. My parents were from Beirut, Lebanon. I had it made when it came to good food. And I know a good thing when I taste it.
Shawarma Zone and its easy to get to location brings Middle Eastern food to a level of excellence on par with home cooking. These three guys (owners) bring the best of their cultures to the hungry public. And I am so glad I got to sample their amazing food.
Food is freshly prepared when you order and created in small batches. They take care to bring a quality product to your palate and plate.
The shawarma is tender, juicy and is seasoned with warm spices. Wrapped in a grilled type of bread that crunches when you bite, this signature dish is sure to please. I tried the lamb, beef and chicken versions, all excellent. Mmm for leftovers! The pickles on the inside are a nice wake up call for the taste buds, too!
The rice that’s served is nothing like I’ve had before. It has a smoky taste to it and I loved every bite.
The dips and sauces are not to be missed, either. Served with pita bread, my favorites were the beet dip and another that I sadly can’t recall the name. I tried at least 8 different dips and sauces. No judging!
The grape leaves were very different from the ones I grew up with. They were tightly wrapped and had a hint of mint in them, to go with the rice. Delightful hot or cold.
These guys must know that everyone loves French fries so they are on the menu. Nothing like them!
The falafel were superb and were just like home. Authentic as can be. And a must try.
We ate inside the restaurant but these guys do a brisk carry out business, too. They also cater so if you want really yummy food for your next event, Shawarma Zone is the place to go.

This food is prepared to order, made from scratch, handled with care, delivered with love. They use real ingredients like ghee instead of cheap canola or seed oils and you can taste the homemade difference! Come come come.. the food is amazing! Saffron basmati rice with a hint of smokiness, tender lamb with perfectly crisp edges, bits of salty pickle, delicious smoky mutabbal.. and yes, try ALL the sauces. The garlic dip should be bottled and sold everywhere!
