★★★★☆ Conveniently located by the 60 freeway, and close to Islamic Center of Irvine. Great place to stop when traveling by. Nice Turkish kebabs and shawarma. Their lentil soup tastes amazing! Posted on December 29, 2019

★★★★☆ There are two halal shawarma places within two miles of each other in downtown Riverside -- this place, and Fufu's (though Fufu's downtown location still isn't listed on Zabihah.com). Both are very good, but I prefer Elias. Elias is cheaper ($12 a plate vs $14 a plate), with bigger portions -- a double win. But beyond that, I think the food just tastes better. The plate comes with sides of hummus, tahini, and garlic sauce, and when you mix it all up, it's fantastic. This is probably my favorite lunch spot in downtown Riverside. Posted on September 26, 2018

★★★★★ The best hummus I've ever had. It is superb. I'm speechless about it. Actually I'm telling everyone how good it is. I also had the baba ghanoush and it is delicious. This place is clean, prompt and has great food. The website is very nice as well-although I couldn't find the hours posted. Posted on February 26, 2015

★★★★★ Mash'Allah this place opened a couple of months ago in Riverside and I am surprised nobody has added to this website. I was so happy to know they serve halal food so I decided to give it a try. I have to say the food was absolutely delicious. This is the best in the Inland Empire. The hummus is so delectable and exquisite. The chicken shawarma is mash'Allah incredible! The best I have ever had. I will definitely be back time and time again! This is definitely worth trying. The prices are also very reasonable. I really recommend this place. Posted on April 4, 2013
