The Shawarma Guys menu is not a one-trick pony. We’re talking plates, bowls, crispy pitas, wraps, cheesesteaks, loaded fries, egg rolls, salads, kids’ meals, dessert, and a sauce wall that slaps. It’s a lot more than just a shawarma spot.
Here’s every category, broken down simply so you know exactly what to order.
What Is Shawarma Food?
Think of shawarma as the original slow-roasted street food. Seasoned meat- usually beef or chicken- gets stacked on a tall vertical rotisserie and slow-cooked for hours. The outside gets beautifully crispy. The inside stays soft, juicy, and full of flavor.
What makes it special is the spice blend. Cumin, coriander, paprika, garlic; all layered into the meat before it even touches the heat. Then it’s shaved off fresh and tucked into a pita or served over rice with garlic sauce, pickles, and hummus on the side.
At Shawarma Guys, we take it one step further with Australian wagyu beef. Wagyu has more fat marbling than regular beef, which means every bite is richer, more tender, and full of depth. And our entire kitchen is seed oil-free; a detail that says a lot about how seriously we take our food.
The Shawarma Guys Menu, Top to Bottom
Plates: The Full Experience
This is the classic move. Pick your protein, and it shows up with yellow basmati rice, hummus, tabouli, warm pita bread, and our signature garlic sauce drizzled all over it.
Your protein options: wagyu beef shawarma, chicken shawarma, a wagyu beef & chicken combo, chicken cream chop (a crispy breaded cutlet with lemon garlic sauce), falafel, and vegan shawarma made from soy.
First time here? Go with the beef and chicken combo plate. You get both proteins in one shot.
Bowls: Same Energy, Different Vibe
Everything from the plate, just in a bowl. Same proteins, same rice, same hummus, tabouli, garlic paste, and pita. It’s the takeout-friendly version and just as generous with portions. Nothing changes except the shape of the container.
Crispy Pitas: Bryan’s Way
This one’s a Shawarma Guys original, and it’s genuinely different. Your protein goes into a pita that we brush with our signature oil-spice blend and toast until it’s completely, aggressively crispy. We serve it whole; no cutting. Pure crunch from the first bite to the last.
Available in wagyu beef, chicken, chicken cream chop, falafel, vegan shawarma, and vegan cream chop. Only at our La Mesa and Mira Mesa locations; not at South Park.
Classic Pitas: Simple but Iconic
Soft, toasted pita packed with your protein of choice. Our wagyu beef pita comes with tahini and pickled turnips. Chicken gets garlic paste and Mediterranean pickles. Falafel comes with hummus, fresh mint, and lemon-cilantro-garlic sauce; nothing fussy; just really, really good.
Cheesesteaks: The Unexpected Star
Nobody expects this on a Middle Eastern menu, but everyone loves it once they try it. We take wagyu beef or chicken shawarma, load it into a toasted Amoroso roll with caramelized onions, bell peppers, jalapeños, and melted white American cheese. It’s a Philly cheesesteak reimagined with Middle Eastern flavor, and the combination works.
Vegan and vegetarian versions are available too. Not offered at our South Park location.
Wraps: Meals You Can Hold in One Hand
Three wraps, all in flour tortillas, each with its own personality:
California Shawarma: chicken, fries, rice, pickles, tomato, lettuce, and garlic paste, all wrapped up together. It’s chaotic in the best way.
Fattoush Wrap: chicken shawarma with romaine, cucumber, pita chips, sumac, radishes, and lemon dressing. Lighter, fresher, great for when you want something that doesn’t weigh you down.
Greek Wrap: chicken shawarma with feta, kalamata olives, beets, pepperoncini, and Greek dressing. Bold, tangy, and honestly underrated.
Jr. Pitas: Small but Mighty
Chicken shawarma, chicken cream chop, or falafel in a smaller pita with garlic sauce, lettuce, pickles, and pickled turnips. Perfect for kids or anyone who wants a lighter meal without giving anything up on flavor.
Salads: Legit Enough to Be a Full Meal
Two salads big enough to stand alone as a full meal.
Greek Salad: romaine, kalamata olives, beets, tomatoes, cucumber, red onions, pepperoncini, feta, and Greek dressing. Gluten-free and satisfying.
Fattoush Salad: romaine, tomatoes, cucumber, radishes, pita chips, fresh mint, sumac, and our homemade lemon dressing. Vegan, dairy-free, and a bit addictive.
Loaded Fries: The Menu’s Wildcard
This section surprises a lot of people. We pile your protein of choice on top of French fries with our house gravy and signature garlic paste. Wagyu beef, chicken, falafel, vegan shawarma, vegan cream chop, and lemon cream chop are all options. There’s also a cheesesteak fries version; the full cheesesteak treatment on top of fries; available at La Mesa and Mira Mesa only.
Egg Rolls & Wings: The Sneaky Best Order
Order the egg rolls. Seriously. We stuff wagyu beef or chicken shawarma into a crispy wonton shell with caramelized onions, jalapeños, and white American cheese. Two per order. They disappear fast.
Our lemon garlic wings come in 8 pieces; breaded, fried with herbs and spices, and drowned in lemon garlic sauce. Great for sharing. Or not sharing. No judgment.
Sides: Mix and Match Freely
Hummus, jalapeño hummus, tabouli, Iraqi Salad, dolma, falafel (6 pieces), yellow basmati rice, pita bread, pita chips, and seasoned fries. Most are vegan. All are worth adding.
Kids Meal
Chicken shawarma or chicken cream chop, portioned for younger eaters. No stress, no confusion; just something kids will actually eat.
Dessert
Baklava, two pieces. Flaky phyllo pastry, rich nut filling, finished in honey syrup—a classic Middle Eastern sweet to close the meal right.
Sauces
Garlic paste, lemon garlic sauce, spicy lemon garlic sauce, cilantro lemon garlic sauce, tahini, spicy tahini, fattoush dressing, Greek dressing, and our house hot sauce. Nearly all vegan and all made in-house. Our sauce lineup alone tells you how much we care about every detail.
