The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mr. Shawarma at 100% against The Dirty Buffalo Restaurant's 33%. Mr. Shawarma also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). The Dirty Buffalo Restaurant's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (205 vs 9). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

The Dirty Buffalo Restaurant holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Dirty Buffalo Restaurant has 205 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Mr. Shawarma's written reviews are positive against 33% of The Dirty Buffalo Restaurant's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
