What to Eat at Shawarmary silicon central شاورمري سيليكون سنترال How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Shawarmary silicon central شاورمري سيليكون سنترال, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Shawarmary silicon central شاورمري سيليكون سنترال, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Try hawawshi. If you want a specific first order, consider hawawshi; it was singled out as the best dish in one review.
Add lemon. For Rizary Shrimp Rice, add lemon as one reviewer said it improves the taste.
Allow time. Build in extra waiting time, especially for delivery or busy periods; one customer waited an hour for a value meal.
Check portions. Confirm the sandwich size when ordering, since a delivery customer found the two-sandwich portion unusually small for its price.
Consider shrimp. If chicken quality is a concern, shrimp may be the safer first try: one reviewer liked the shrimp but disliked the chicken shawarma.
Find the counter. In Dubai Silicon Oasis, look on the first floor of Silicon Central Mall near the food court.

The Bottom Line
Shawarmary is an Egyptian-style shawarma spot in Dubai Silicon Oasis, with reviews focused on shawarma, shrimp sandwiches and Egyptian comfort food. The clearest reasons to consider it are the Egyptian-style flavour and the range beyond standard shawarma: customers mention hawawshi, fried shrimp sandwiches, beef shawarma and grilled kofta. The strongest recommendations are specific.
One reviewer said the shawarma reminded them of Egypt, while others called the hawawshi the best dish and praised the fried shrimp sandwiches. Beef shawarma with green chilli is another worthwhile order to consider. A detailed review also mentions Rizary Shrimp Rice, suggesting lemon on top, plus rice pudding and Sakalans for dessert.
The restaurant is on the first floor of Silicon Central Mall near the food court. There is a noticeable consistency caveat. Some customers describe tasty, fresh food, fair prices and friendly service, but others report old or smelly chicken, bitter meat, dry shrimp, cold fries and portions that felt too small for the price.
Service can also be slow: reported waits range from over 25 minutes for one sandwich to an hour for a value meal. Delivery reviews include late orders and one report of insects in a package, so dine-in or an off-peak visit may be preferable when timing and freshness matter.
