Baraka Shawarma Tucker

Stopped by for a quick bite and was BLOWN away. Was not expecting to happen across my new favorite shawarma place today! Great service, super friendly! The Baraka sauce is a MUST with the veggie samosas. Highly recommend this place 10/10!

I visited Baraka Shawarma with a colleague, and it’s tucked away in an older plaza that’s easy to miss if you’re not looking for it. Inside, there was just one gentleman running the show, and it took about 25 minutes for our food to be ready as there were people ahead of us. We tried the chicken shawarma, chicken and gyro shawarma, and my colleague ordered dolmas with a tabouli salad. The shawarmas were generously sized with a fair amount of protein. I really liked the bread they use, it’s the proper kind for shawarma and done perfectly. The sauces were nice, though the meat wasn’t quite as tender as I was hoping. My colleague said the dolmas were cold, but the salad was fresh and had a good portion of meat. The owner was kind enough to offer us a small piece of gyro to try with his signature sauces. Prices seemed reasonable for the portions.

“Wow” is the first thing that came to mind and I couldn't stop saying it while eating my chicken shwarma wrap!! The owner was incredibly kind and helpful. He let my daughter and I taste all the different sauces before deciding on one. It did take a while for the food to come out but it was just the owner in the shop so that was expected. Let me just say it was SO worth the wait!! I could only stop for 2 seconds to take a picture. Great place and definitely adding to my rotation!

Came here to grab dinner for takeout. The gentleman working there was very friendly and sweet and gave us samples of the sauce to try which was so nice. We ordered the falafel plate and the combination plate with hummus and 2 pieces of baklava. Everything tasted great and was made fresh. Will come back again!

Baraka Shawarma in Tucker is an absolute gem! The food was amazing — everything was packed with flavor and served in generous portions. We ordered the chicken and lamb plate, and it was honestly one of the best we’ve had. The samosa is a must-try — crispy, flavorful, and perfectly spiced! What really made the experience stand out was the service. The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He even let us sample all the different sauces they offer (each one better than the last!). You can tell they really care about their customers and take pride in their food. We’ll definitely be back — highly recommend this place if you’re looking for authentic, delicious shawarma with great service!

Great food, this place is hidden gem! I have to go here at least every couple weeks. It literally starts calling my name lol and the people that work here are super Super friendly! And there’s an awesome coffee shop right next-door!

Excellent food! Every time we go, owner generously gives us samples to try. We had multiple plates including gyro, chicken and falafel. Everything has been great. Their hummus is excellent, too. They have different sauces you can try. Barakas and Sunshine being my favorite. Portions are generous if you get the plates. Great place.

The food is fresh to order and if you don’t know what to order, he will walk you through the process and let you taste different options. He is so kind and friendly the best customer service in Georgia. The food is good and very flavorful, highly recommend!!

I real hidden gem, if you blink twice you may not find this place!!! This place is a small restaurant with a few tables but don't looks fool you. This place is AMAZING! I ordered a lamb/chicken shawarma with all the veggies. The shawarma was on point and the flavor was off the chain. I also ordered some dessert to share with people who normally don't eat this type of food. The response was great, they all enjoyed it!! Also prices are very reasonable. Totally recommend this place. Great shawarma, a spot off the beaten path.

When I first heard about this place, I was told it was basically on Tucker's Main Street, but it's a little further down. Kind of a midway point between Tucker Middle School and Tucker High School, the location is a bit tight for parking. Feels like a hole in the wall that could be a local's hidden gem spot, so don't let parking deter you from stopping by. The food was fresh and although I'm full, I don't feel weighed down because the meal itself wasn't heavy. Plus, the person running the front was friendly and helpful. I was unsure on what to get but with their help, I liked my food a lot. They have 4 sauce options: Baraka, Tahini, Tzatziki, and Sunshine. I wasn't sure what baraka or sunshine would taste like but was able to try some. Without trying, baraka was described as garlicky and sunshine was said to be sweet. Both true statements though I ended up liking sunshine more than expected. I got the mix plate with baraka, tzatziki, and sunshine sauce. The plate comes with pita bread, hummus, and a little salad. The combination of everything was really enjoyable especially the salad since it had a bit of acidity to it, which was nice with the sunshine sauce. They also have wraps that come in size regular or large. I'm not sure what the sizes are like, but large was filled to the point food spilled out and filling in that I'll prob eat a light dinner.

Very fresh and tasty food served by friendly staff. They have chicken, lamb, falafel and veggie wraps, plates and salads. Each comes with your choice of sauces: baraka, sunshine, or tzatziki. The meat is halal and perfectly seasoned and cooked. To go and dine in is available.

My family really enjoys the food, especially when I bring home for take out. It is healthy, tasty, and affordable. The chicken shawarma plate and combination plate serve four in my opinion. My family also likes the tabouli salad so I get a large one for everyone to share. I have not tried the desserts but there are several that I would try if I was eating sugar. The eating area is small so ordering ahead for take out is more convenient. There is a small convenience fee online but I figure my time is worth it. It is a small establishment but definitely worth supporting! FYI, there is a sign that it is Halal meat on the entrance. Come support this local business!

Being new to Baraka Shawarma, the owner let us try the different sauces on meat, all exceptional. I ordered the regular chicken shawarma and hubby a mixed meat shawarma. You can see the different size levels by the attached pictures. The shawarma's are placed in a think lavosh-type bread and then inside a round wrap. We really enjoyed the crunchy, flakiness texture of the lavosh bread and it kept everything from spilling out. The shawarma's themselves were super flavorful, with great fixings inside. With top notch management running this locale, it's a definite win for the consumer.

Tucker's little gem. must try. the owner was so nice and gave us small samples of all 3 sauces used on the chicken or lamb. Greek salad was fresh. dressing was amazing. my husband and I split a combination chicken and lamb wrap. Can't wait to try the lentil soup and other salads. incredible prices too.

Wanted something new and was recommended by a couple of friends to try this in Tucker. Blew my expectations-- I've only tried the Lamb/Chicken Shawarma's with the Baraka and Sunshine sauce. The nan-bread used is cooked to a crispy-texture and both are suuuper amazing, the vegetables really help blend the flavors from the meat w/sauce. Size-wise, regular is about 9 inches and large is a foot-long. The place is well-kept with small clean tables & chairs around to dine-in. Highly recommend trying this spot.

The staff is friendly, and the food is so good. The shawarma plates and salads are delicious, served in generous portions. Everything super fresh. The flatbread is perfection. I'll be back!

Hands down some of the best shawarma I've had in a long time. We came in with a large group (unannounced) and the team did a fantastic job of getting us our food in a timely manner and never losing a smile. I don't live around here, but I'd drive over just to get some of their shawarma. You've gotta try the Baraka sauce!

Food was awesome! Fresh and flavorful! Service is friendly as well. When we got there only one customer was present but as we waited for our food it quickly filled up despite a torrential downpour. Ambiance is not great, but the food is well worth it. Affordable pricing as well. Probably the tastiest Gyro I have ever eaten.

It's a small unassuming place with a deli style counter. There were several people in there waiting for their orders, and when it was my turn, the owner who waited on me was very pleasant that allowed me to taste a couple things before making my decision. I had their Gyro wrap which was made up of delicious lamb gyro meat, red onion, pickled yellow peppers and tomatoes with a tzatziki sauce that wasn't over powering in quantity or flavor. My only disappointment was I ate it so fast! Lol definitely check it out. I'll go here again.

Here's one for the small businesses! I really enjoyed my experience at Baraka Shawarma. The food quality was very good. Days later I'm still eating the hummus I got and it gets better every time I snack on it. What to expect, a small eatery with great service. I highly recommend the shawarma wrap and a side of hummus. Why the 5 stars...it's the quality and service. It's hard to find great service these days.

My husband and I ordered food to takeout. The mixed plate with chicken and lamb, the falafel salad and baba ghanoush were great with very generous portions. We'll definitely go back!

I was excited to see a new shawarma restaurant in our town. Baraka offers a Lebanese inspired menu served by very hospitable Eritrean family. Saeed served our family samples of the chicken with the Baraka sauce and gyro with the sunshine sauce. We are a family of 5 and everyone loved what they ordered including plates and wraps. We also tried the roasted potatoes with the Baraka sauce. If you're looking for delicious, authentic, Mediterranean food in the Tucker area this is the place to go. They also have locations in Stone Mountain and downtown Atlanta.
