Al Shami was a place recommended by a friend which I recommend now too. There are more than one entry way to the food truck with parking spaces in a food court called moosa colony. This place is great for family as well. The service was fast and the food is tasty. I ate the SHISH TAWOOK meal. It included rice, pita bread, pickles and two sauces. The best for the last about the chicken, juicy and flavorful. SHISH TAWOOK - 9.5/10

5 stars. I came a little late so they remade my shawarma quickly. The service was amazing, the place looked clean, and the chicken shawarma was made with NO tortilla (arabic bread instead) thankfully. Very good. This is my new shawarma spot.

Fantastic food and even better customer service ! I had an Arabi shwarma the first time and the normal shwarma the second ( both wraps ) along with the Turkish Salad. I like how the quantity and quality of meat in them is crazy better than any shwarma I’ve had ! The salad itself was filling and a perfect blend of what a Turkish salad actually should be . Would definitely recommend! Update : definitely recommend trying their chicken Halabi too !!

We ordered Turkish Adana Kebob Sandwich. It was definitely different from the original Turkish version but it was still flavorful, and tasted fresh. I wish it was a little spicy but Im sure I forgot to ask for it so if you planning on getting Adana make sure you ask for them to make it spicy. I would definitely recommend a quick lunch there, it’s tasty and affordable, also there are tables outside where you sit and enjoy your lunch.

It’s a very first time visit to enjoy Turkish food from this truck. My kids have already tasted their dishes and they enjoyed. We got Mix Shawarma Plate and Chicken Shawarma Plate and the Chicken Shawarma Wrap with fries and we enjoyed.

It's a reliable place to get halal food, nothing special. There's far better in the area, but it's still not bad.
