UPDATE: I GAVE THEM ANOTHER CHANCE!
Spoiler Alert, DON'T!!!!
I've been going here for three years, food and service have been declining but this was beyond the pale. I order the same thing every time. Humus w/ lamb. It usually takes 10 minutes or so. I was the only one in the store. The "Cook" started my order, but was lazy about it to say the least. He put the lamb on the grill, but only partly. Then he got a call from his girlfriend. While on the phone, he made himself a sandwich, cooked it, and began eating it behind the line! Another couple came in, got their food, ate it all, and left. After more than 10 minutes of waiting, he came up to me and said "It will be about five more minutes. Maybe seven. I don't know". Then went back to his phone call. Eight minutes later I told him to just box up the lamb, I'll microwave it if I have to. I am pretty sure it is fully cooked before it even hits the grill, but I could be wrong. Either way, it doesn't take 20 minutes to cook a couple of chunks of lamb 1" square.
He refused to pull the lamb from the grill, and started berating me that I think I know everything! Eventually he said he was refunding my money and NOT serving me! He was hostile beyond belief, and very disrespectful. The other employee came up to apologize, and calm down the first employee, when the first employee started getting PHYSICAL with the second, putting his hands on him and telling him not to interfere!! I've never seen behavior like this at a restaurant. Someone actually tried to resolve the situation, and another employee threatened them and put hands on them!
After SEVERAL more minutes of back and forth with this psycho, I eventually got my money back, but will NEVER be returning to this place. EVER. It's too bad, I really liked Shawarmania once. I just hope I can get a refund on my remaining Groupon.

Tabbouleh Salad
YOU NEED TO GO HERE! Small, inconspicuous shop, but it's the best food I've had in a long time! I had the lamb Tikka, and beef kabobs, with salad and fries. I have NEVER had meat with so much flavor at any restaurant! Amazing! The fries were seasoned perfectly and cooked great, very crispy. The salad was simple, fresh, and delicious. Garlic sauce was on point! My wife's gyro was excellent, she said she just wanted to sit with her eyes closed, enjoy it, and maybe shed a happy tear. 😄 And the service was great. The waiter forgot a side so he brought a small desert... and again.. it was an unbelievably soft and sweet little cake, basbosa i think. Support this small restaurant!! We need this quality of food in Mankato!
