Tips for a Better Visit
Try Mexican Saj. If you want something beyond the usual shawarma, try the Mexican Saj, which one reviewer called a must.
Check Delivery. For direct delivery, confirm the minimum order and delivery charge first; one customer reported an added 12 AED fee.
Watch Portions. If portion size matters, check the sandwich size before ordering, as some recent reviews found it small for the price.
Try Sujuk. Consider the sujuk shawarma if you enjoy stronger, spiced flavours; it received especially enthusiastic feedback.
Consider Pickup. Pickup may avoid reported delivery problems, including cold food, soggy fries and doughy saj bread.

The Bottom Line
Shawerma AlFarooj Hessa St is a shawarma restaurant in Al Barsha that attracts people primarily for its chicken shawarma. Reviews describe it as juicy, well seasoned and authentically Lebanese, while other customers praise the beef shawarma, sujuk, sausage shawarma and Mexican Saj. That gives first-time diners a few worthwhile alternatives to the standard chicken order.
The strongest feedback is about flavour and freshness. One customer called the meat fresh, juicy and full of flavour, and another said the food was tasty and the place clean. Service is also often described as friendly and fast, with complimentary tea mentioned at the end of one visit and a free ice cream cone during another wait.
The main caution is value. Several diners felt the sandwiches were smaller than competitors’ portions, and one said a sandwich had become mostly garlic sauce with little chicken. Prices are repeatedly described as high; a chicken shawarma was reported at 16 dirham.
Delivery deserves extra checking: reviews mention minimum-order requirements, an unexpected 12 AED delivery charge, cold food and soggy fries. For the most predictable experience, confirm charges and portion expectations before ordering, and consider trying the Mexican Saj or sujuk if you want something less routine.
