Shawarma Station - S San Diego

This is a fantastic place to stop by after a day at the beach (or even before!). The staff is friendly, the food is delicious, and the location is excellent. Parking can be challenging, as it is throughout Ocean Beach. There’s a small outdoor table available in front, but it’s primarily a grab-and-go spot. Overall, great food, helpful staff, and aside from the parking issues, a prime location.

It’s not as good as it used to be, which is quite disappointing.

We've only tried their food a couple of times, but it's been fantastic so far! For the last ten years or so, we've been going to our go-to shawarma place in OB, which has been consistently good (and we really like the owner). However, Shawarma Station's ribeye fries were exceptional and have now become a new favorite for us. They used to offer delivery through a third party, but we haven't had any luck with that lately. Nevertheless, the food is still amazing, and I guess I'll have to drive or bike over because it's definitely worth it!

I've eaten here a couple of times and it's always been very good. Tonight I got the rib eye beef shawarma plate and everything on this is fantastic. The cucumber salad with garbanzos, the hummus, and the beef shawarma with saffron rice is outstanding. Really some of the best Mediterranean food in town.

UPDATED 10/6 I had an issue with this place the day before but the owner reached out to me, and wanted to fix their employees mistake of up charging me for substituting the beef kabob with falafel. I went back and they graciously comped my meal, I got just the falafel plate this time and it was really good! Thank you Zaid for caring about your customers! Really appreciate it. I 'm honestly pretty disappointed. I was super excited to find a lil mediterranean gem near me and I saw this place had good reviews so I figured it was time to try it. I 'm starting to reduce my beef intake but wanted a chicken kabob so I ordered the rib eye chicken kabob plate but asked them to substitute the beef for falafel. They agreed to it but charged me an extra $3 since it was an add on item. Whatever, I agreed but didn 't really make sense to me since I wasn 't adding on anything and just substituting. That was the first thing, then now I opening my food, I couldn 't even tell if my kabob wss chicken. I open it up, take a bite and it wasn 't good to say the least. It doesn 't even look like chicken breast pieces which is what a chicken kabob is supposed to be! All in all for the over $20 I spent, the food was absolutely not worth it. I could have paid the same amount, even a little less at somewhere like Luna Grill and at least be somewhat satisfied with the money on the food I just sent. Shame as I was really excited to have a yummy new spot near me. Don 't think I 'll be returning.
