"Great portions! But not recommended for vegetarians as it only has 2 options. i don’t think the falafels were very good. Nevertheless the chicken one was good and affordable. Great fries."

"Friendly and lively atmosphere, lovely staff, good prices and the food? Best shawarma I've had since I was last in Jordan 13 years ago. Definitely coming back next time I need my shawarma fix. P.S. This photo doesn't do their portions justice: I was only halfway through!"

"Have been coming for takeaway for years, not as often as i would like as i live other side of town, unfortunately. But the shawarma has always been the best in whole Manchester and is definitely worth the travel. And the Toum sauce is priceless. Staff is friendly and welcoming."

"Very tasty shawarma at a very reasonable price point. Portion was good just wish they offered some chilli sauce as it would've elevated the flavors. Had it a couple hours later as was flying out but still then was nice and juicy. The shop was busy with fast turnover of customers. If I'm back in Manchester I wouldn't hesitate to pop back in."
