Most Disliked
Some diners express disappointment during peak hours, where the high volume can lead to longer wait times for food. Despite the options, a few feel that the menu could expand to include more diverse entrées beyond shawarma. Limited seating can make it tough to find a spot during busy times, especially weekends, which may require some patience. A handful of customers have mentioned that parking can be tricky during peak dining hours, so planning ahead is advised. While the food generally gets high marks, some have noted that a few sides can be on the salty side, depending on the dish.

If there were 7 stars, Horan Shawerma would truly deserve them! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 We recently had them serve over 100 guests, and every single dish was absolutely outstanding. From the juicy, perfectly seasoned chicken and beef shawerma to the creamy hummus, smoky baba ghanouj, and mouthwatering kibbeh, everything was fresh, flavorful, and unforgettable. They’re not just the best in New Jersey – they’re hands down the best on the entire East Coast. The staff is incredibly friendly, professional, and maintain the highest standards of hygiene. Whether it’s a family dinner, a gathering with friends, or a big corporate event, Horan Shawerma makes it a memorable experience. After trying many shawerma spots, I can confidently say this is THE place to go. Highly recommend for small and big parties alike – you won’t be disappointed!

This was exactly what I was looking for!!! Amazing place with great shawarma (beef AND chicken) plus great French fries - seasoning is so good. Can’t wait to return! For reference- double combo is 2 sandwiches. Super combo is 1.5 sandwiches.

An absolute gem! The best chicken shawarma I had in so long. The wrap was crispy and so good. The chicken plentiful and freshly cooked, not stale or overcooked just perfect. The garlic paste and pickled veggies were an excellent side choice. Best of all for $8 you can not beat it. Real authentic shwarma. Highly recommend.
