Shawarma House is the halal Mediterranean spot on Newport Ave in Ocean Beach. We spit-roast our chicken, beef, and gyro shawarma and make everything to order — wraps, plates over yellow basmati rice with warm pita, or loaded fries. You’ll find us at 4884 Newport Ave, minutes from the beach.

Come in for a plate, grab a wrap to take down to the sand, or order online for pickup. If you’re feeding a crowd, ask us about Mediterranean catering in San Diego.

What we serve

The heart of the menu is spit-roasted shawarma — chicken, beef, and gyro. Order it your way:

  • Wraps — shawarma rolled up and ready to go.
  • Plates — meat over yellow basmati rice with warm pita and a side salad. Try the chicken shawarma plate, beef shawarma plate, or gyro plate.
  • Fries — shawarma piled over fries.

Don’t skip our signature Cream Chop. We also make falafel (vegan), hummus, and Greek, fattoush, tabouli, and Iraqi salads. Finish it with the sauce that fits — tzatziki, tahini, garlic paste (toum), lemon garlic, greek dressing, or hot sauce. See the full menu for everything.
