I loved their Kebab! It's so flavourful and savoury. Shawarma is also very good!

I would give six stars but Google wouldn’t let me.

Just wanted some shawarma and chips and got exactly what we wanted. Our server checked in on us, asked if we wanted more sauce which was nice. The music was great too, I really like Arabic music so the atmosphere was even more enjoyable. Tissues are on each table too which is a great bonus. Reasonable pricing too!

Got a chicken shawarma and asked for less sauce as they're usually swimming in it. Chicken itself was dry as an old boot and the little bit of garlic sauce on there wasn't distributed evenly and was way too garlic'd. Only veggie was a pickle so no respite from the dry chicken. Just a bad day I guess. Had to wait quite a while for that experience as well - not to mention it being in the s-tip that is martin place station right where the traffic comes off the first escalator. Balls.

The best genuine shwarma. Others advertise as shwarma but sell kebab. Taste the difference here.
