What locals are saying
Mazal is a new (opened October 2025) Israeli-Mediterranean fast-casual spot in West Ashley that has quickly earned strong local approval, with a 4.7-star Google average across 245+ reviews. Regulars consistently point to the freshness — hummus ground in-house daily, shawarma carved off the spit, falafel made to order — as the standout differentiator, and value is noted as solid (~$13 for a full pita). The only recurring gripe is that peak-hour crowds can create a wait, but most locals say the food quality justifies it.

The lamb-brisket shawarma and the warm, in-house-ground hummus are what people come back for — 'creamiest hummus I have ever had' is a recurring verdict, and the schnitzel-in-pita and baked cauliflower draw nearly as many call-outs. The consensus is that Mazal finally gives West Ashley a reason to stop driving to North Charleston for a proper Israeli street-food fix.
