“Jarasa Kabob never disappoints! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The kabobs are perfectly cooked, and everything tastes authentic. Also, there was a cute girl working there who was very friendly and made the experience even better. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back!”
“I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food was fresh, delicious, and well-prepared. Everything was clean and nicely organized. Special thanks to Uday for the excellent service — he was very friendly, professional, and made the whole experience even better with his positive attitude. I will definitely come back again and highly recommend this place to everyone! 👌🔥”
“Everything was great!! Was able to sit down and look at the menu and I picked the lunch special. It was so good!!! I loved everything and would definitely come again! Service was great and so clean and neat. You get pita bread with your hummus and other sauces if needed.”
“I've been driving by this place for years and finally decided to stop by for lunch. I purchased the Shawarma Chicken meal with garlic sauce and pickles. Along with the Lentil soup. Everything was very good as the pictures look. Next time I will try the Steak Shawarma meal or Veggie combo. Everyone was very nice and offered me a free sample of the Lentil soup.”
“Food is phenomenal. Delicious and filling. My husband and I split a 3 falafel order. I only wanted one. As you can see in the picture the portions are quite large. Yummmmmm!!!!!!”
“We've already gone three times and it was incredible taste😍 fresh meats and salads, and of course our favorite rice, you can choose regular or spicy rice, and both of them really good tasting, service is also good, our favorite one is Steak Kabobs, give them try and you’ll love it!😋”
“I really liked Jarasa food in the past—it was delicious, well-prepared, and always looked great. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same anymore. After they opened a second location, the quality changed drastically for the worse. The shawarma I had was extremely dark and tasted bad, and I’m not even sure what kind of hot sauce I was given. The food upset my stomach and made me feel sick. Because of this experience, I won’t be coming back.”
