Chef Mohammad Abutaha moved from Amman to the bay area, where he couldn't find the flavors from home, so he started a pop-up to satisfy his cravings and introduce Jordan-style street food to others. Shawarmaji's menu is short and simple, which is best for the small operation.
The owners are Muslim and have confirmed its halal status. Owner is a Muslim and they display Halal symbol on their website and menu. From the management: 'yes, our meats are halal!'
Score reflects a halal certificate on file.
I order here both through delivery and pickup and the food is delicious, however they are quite inconsistent with their portions. When ordering delivery and selecting extra toum, they typically underfill the toum containers and sometimes add only one extra container, even if you have requested two. I suggest going in person to make sure that they properly fulfill requests for extra sauce. In the photo below, I asked for extra pickles, but there were hardly any at all. Despite that, we love the chicken shawarma here. We just wish that they were more consistent!
