Shawarma Grill - Cordova

Great food! I can't wait to go back. The shawarma is excellent and so were the sides. The service was also great. The hostess is very nice and accommodating. The price is also very reasonable.

Delicious. Try the charcoal grilled whole chicken or the family platter. Few places in the city have food like this.

Love this place! Having spent a lot of time in the Middle East with the military, I have a great love for shawarma and this place is truly authentic! The shawarma are huge and the seasoning is right and they even use the right pickles. It brings back so many memories! The owners are very nice too and it's definitely a family business that I'm proud to support.

My friend and I decided to have lunch , and I have to say that the buffet was really delicious and fresh, a lot of salads as well. We also got the desserts, it was just perfect. Good value for the price. Recommended for everyone who's interested in a real homie food!

First, to avoid confusion, the actual name of the restaurant is Albaik Grill (Google still shows the results under previous name Shawarma Grill Restaurant or both names). They serve al la carte and the buffet style (did not have a chance to try that side of the restaurant). Second, and most important, they offer super delicious Middle Eastern food. Third, the menu is somewhat confusing, as it contains only the names of the dishes in English and Arabic, without full description or very few photos, therefore, if you are not familiar with the names, ask. Also, get familiar with the side items, the list is long, but has all the usual food for this type of restaurants, and more. Obviously, there is no beer, so consider tea or juices. After these initial impressions, and about 15 20 minutes waiting, we got our food served. The portions are of good size and we had some leftovers to take home. Beef kebobs actually contain filet mignon pieces, so it is very soft and delicious, not sure if you can find similar kebobs in the Memphis area. They are not served on a stick, but arranged on a plate in a circle. Tabboul salad contained all freshly cut greens. Hummus comes with warm pita bread wedges. Overall, great food and great taste, and next time will need to plan better and leave some room for baklava or other deserts that they have.
