How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.
Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

Review brief
What reviews not flagged by Revdict say
Reviewers report that this establishment offers a unique variety of high-quality, homemade chicken shawarmas and specialty sauces distinct from traditional kebab shops. The business is widely praised for its friendly, efficient service and clean takeaway environment.

The service is excellent, the shawarmas are delicious, and there's a great variety of sauces.

It has definitely improved over time. Better natural ingredients, more flavor combinations, Coca-Cola soft drinks, and unbeatable customer service. They have the same sauces but with more ingredients, like the star Shawarma, which is the mo...

Excellent Kebab made by the nicest lady in Malaga. They had a card terminal malfunction and I had too little cash to pay for the order. She wanted to give it to me for free but reluctantly accepted the little cash I had. Please, if you're r...

Probably the best kebabs in Málaga. Best variety of sauces without any doubt. I liked the Americana sauce. Only slightly spicy. It would've been great to be able to sit down and enjoy the kebab there but it's OK with only the option to take...

We liked it quite a bit. Only the patio is for pickup; there are no tables or stools.

The other day I was there ordering, and the woman serving there is very rude and treats you very badly. I went once, and I won't go back until she leaves because it makes you not want to eat there anymore, even though the food is so good. O...

The current waitress, the girl with glasses, is incredibly rude. She treated us so badly that, despite having gone there to try the food based on the reviews, we left without eating because of her attitude. Furthermore, her cleanliness and...

I went to Depaso with my friend and it's one of the best restaurants in Malaga. The staff is incredibly friendly and the place is very special. I highly recommend it.

Very poor treatment from the manager. The assistant, who is Moroccan, was friendly, but the manager doesn't know how to treat customers and, on top of that, tries to overcharge. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. To work with the public, you need to know how to handle it, and this woman, I'm...

I miss you all. I've moved to Madrid and I can no longer go and buy one of your wonderful shawarmas and then eat it sitting peacefully in the cathedral gardens. Without a doubt, the best shawarma in all of Malaga.
