The cook also put his apron back on again and came and made us a nice meal. After a few hours at pub we decided to take a taxi back to the Excel only to realize many of the restaurants around here were already shut. I walked in here and asked if they would kindly serve us a meal and they obliged. The menu is big and has plenty of choice for veg and non veg eaters. The hummus to start was very nice and flavourful and the shawarma from chicken that followed was also very nice. I had takeaway from here one night and it was also quick and very nice indeed. A decent place for a meal in the area and I would happily come here again.

This is why outs going to make me feel badly to say this, but not the best chicken shwarma, hummus, or tabouli that I've ever had. It was a bit bland, but sweet service which have them a 3-star rating. So the chicken shwarma was with dark meat and I've only ever had it with white meat. I got a small sliver of bone as that will stop me in my eating tracks! I know it's lame to say but it's a texture thing and it changes everything for me. Luckily it was toward the end so I didn't leave much. And yes, I know it will happen, even to us when we prepare our own food at home(not really) but I don't hold it against them. Its a personal thing for me.

Reason for not the full 5 stars was because the food my friend wanted to order wasn't available, so we opted for chicken and lamb shawarma with salad. Wonderfully made and very filling!

It was quite busy around 8:15pm when we arrived but thankfully we didn't wait too long to be seated inside. We also ordered food fairly promptly as well. I got the pistachio hummus to start and the kifta birwesh (warning that photos look terrible). The food arrived very quickly so bonus there. Meanwhile the soundtrack was banging: Ra Ra Rasputin, 80s pop and reggae all played whilst we were there. Anyway the food: the hummus was fantastic- nutty and savory at the same time. The white pita bread that accompanied it though was edible but boring and tasteless. My kifta was also fine but nothing to write home over. Two large patties in a sauce. But my husband got the chicken shawarma and I LOVED the ghormeh sabzi that accompanied his meal (sweet from the pomegranate but also savory). Just YUM. My husband liked his chicken and I admit it was a generous portion for the cheap price. Would we return? Sure it's close and the price is great.

Pricing was a bit high for the portion, but everything was delicious. DRINKS Zest and Zing was a refreshing and lightly sweetened mocktail. APPS Potato fritters and sweet potato were creamy and sweet with hummus. The mushroom was spicy and juicy. Goat cheese salad was fresh and paired perfectly together. The pita balagan was crispy with a dollop of bruschetta. ENTREE - Shawarma: bite sized seasoned beef loaded with veggies and hummus (£24) - Chicken: flavorful, perfectly cooked! (£21) - Salmon: tender and delicious (£26) DESSERT - Kadayif (£10): a yogurty cheesecake with honey and crunchy kataifi - Crunchy Praline (£10): a creamy espresso whipped cream with a sweet chocolate bark - Date Cake (£9.50): moist and sweetened with syrup and a side of whipped cream FAVS Favorites were the chicken and shawarma! For desserts, the kadayif is good if you want something unique, if you want something not too sweet go for the date cake, and if you want a sugar rush go for the crunchy praline!
