I love their shawarmas, the lamb and beef ones. They are super good and addictive. Get one to eat there and one to go.

Lamb/Beef Shawarma Pita - meat was pretty tough, more beef flavor than lamb (almost no lamb flavor). Very oily, but OK. It was edible, but I probably won't order it again because of the grease and it wasn't great tasting so it wasn't really worth the money in my opinion.Side of Fries - wow, these were horrible. They were very dark, and probably pre-fried half-cooked, then refried or something like that. Very greasy (oil temp probably isn't hot enough and/or oil is dirty and old), tasted like potatoes so they at least weren't old. However, the cooking method left them burnt tasting and super oily. Definitely will not pay $5 for a side of fries this rough again. I contemplated returning them, but decided I probably just won't come back. The oil of these fries definitely did not pair with the oiliness of the pita. So, I'd maybe order a pita and skip anything fried at all (order something lighter for the side).But, yeah, I won't be back.

Today was my first time trying Nineveh so I asked the kind lady that helped me what was popular and what she recommended. The chicken shawarma and dolma are what she recommended, so I tried both and they are absolutely delicious! I’ve never had anything like dolma before and the flavors meld together amazingly. Support a local food truck and try Nineveh!

It's getting hard to find a decent gyro in Olympia, so I ended my search by finding the close cousin, the swarma. It was good, but could have used more lamb, because the ratio mainly tasted like beef. But it was very delicious. The garlic sauce had tons of flavor, the pickled veggies were a healthy addition and there was plenty of meat. I will definitely be back, just hope to taste more lamb next time.

I love this food truck. It gives me reminds me of the delicious shawarma that I was lucky enough to have in my childhood. I always get the lamb/beef shawarma and we have had their fries. So delicious!

Good people, good quick food, generous prices. My habit has been the sabich (fried eggplant) on lettuce and rice. The pickled mango and beets are so good!!

Had the lamb Schwarma. It was ok but not really amazing meat was pretty dry. Don't really taste the reason for the hype on this first visit.

I love eating delicious Nineveh food at our Shabbat Salon gatherings -- fresh, vegetarian, and creative!

Best lamb shawarmas I’ve ever had!! I moved away from WA to go to grad school in Chicago and now live in Florida and I have yet to find a restaurant or food truck that makes lamb shawarmas this good. None even come close. I miss this place and reminisce too often.
