Shebaz’s Shawarma & Falafel St Thomas

Amazing service and food! The owners are extremely nice and are a pleasure to talk to! The food is very tasty and lots of variety! Overall, a tasty hidden gem!

The food was fresh properly prepared,value for the price well you get huge portion size. Was not hungry for awhile either.. Highly recommend.

the curries are made fresh daily. the butter chicken is good but the best curry i have experienced is the lamb curry they have this one every Friday.
i also love the chicken shawarma salad made with fresh ingredients such as lettuce pickled turnips and pickles and the best part don't forget the chicken it is highly recommended

Had a really nice meal tonight, ordered the butter chicken, one beef and one vegetable samosa, plus some baklava for good measure.

I'm not sure how new this place is but when I heard there was a curry shop in a gas station I had to check it out, my favourite curry place is in a truck stop and I dont think St. Thomas has ever had any middle eastern restaurants so I had to check it out.

Started with the samosas the beef one was savoury with a nice cardamom taste and good kick of heat, the veggie one though, man get me a dozen of those, not your typical potato and pea samosa, we got potatoes, peas, corn AND chickpeas from what I could see lol. Really nice, ate them so fast I forgot about the tamarind dipping sauce.

Butter chicken gravy was noice and thick, I hate when you get a watery gravy and you're eating soupy rice at the end. The chicken pieces err chunks where amazingly tender, and full of flavour, I want more, the rice.... its rice.

Now the baklava, I'm picky, I find alot of them end up being dry or just way to heavy with the rose water. Upon first inspection it looked like it could be a bit dry but when you bite into it you are surprised with how flaky, and ooey and gooey it really is. Was a really nice end to a meal not overly sweet, great filling to flaky ratio, would be nice with a after dinner coffee or tea.

Overall, I would recommend Shebaz to anyone who is interested in trying something other than pizza or burgers without going to far outside of your flavour bubble but want to try something different. I look forward to trying the lamb and vegetable curries plus whatever else they may come up with.

One word: WOW! What a wonderful family that is operating this delicious little secret in St. Thomas. The menu is extensive and encourages you to venture out and try something new. I had the chicken shawarma pita meal...the fragrances lend a tempting preview of what your taste buds will thank you for later. Do yourself a favour and give this place a try. I am sold.
