About Shawarma Chef
You can smell warm pita and spices at the window, and people line up for our chicken shawarma and falafel sandwiches. I run a bright yellow truck serving Mediterranean plates and handhelds with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, and dairy-free options clearly marked so guests can pick what works for them. Regulars tell me the shawarma, tabouli, and garlic sauce keep them coming back, and reviewers note steady portions and quick service. I cater on-site for events and will set up a station if you want live carving or an attended pita bar. I keep the menu focused, I offer single-item favorites like shawarma, falafel, and a few seasonal sides, and I welcome requests for vegan and gluten-free swaps. As a minority-owned vendor I show up ready to feed crowds, I keep orders moving, and I stay true to straightforward Mediterranean classics that people actually ask for when they see the truck.
Meet The Owner, Rami Hijazi
The moment I first tried to explain Lebanese shawarma to my new neighbors, I realized the city needed something real, so I taught myself how to do it on the road. I arrived from Lebanon in 2001 and spent time cooking with a renowned chef back home, learning recipes and techniques I kept thinking about. Those recipes came with me to Ypsilanti, I adapted them to a truck because people here deserved the same flavors I grew up with. Running a mobile kitchen means long days and quick decisions, I handle the orders, the spit, and the mornings. Serving my neighbors and seeing familiar faces return is what keeps me going. My truck operates halal and I take pride in keeping those standards every day.

That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.
Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in Detroit, so booking early gives you the best selection.
