Alwaha — Local services in Bristol

Update: The new ownership has changed nothing about this review. Still incredible food, all of the recipes were handed over. So happy this is carrying on for another generation!

Just wanted to counter a couple of the recent negative reviews. This place is truly great for lunch if you're in Totterdown. The grilled chicken rice box and wraps are perfect. The marinade and dressings on the salad are just super great. Just feels high quality and healthy with care taken in each meal they serve up. Always a happy smile when being served, its just a great local lunch place. Nothing incredibly fancy, but just reliably excellent at what they serve and always cooked fresh in front of you.

The only negative thing from me is how busy they are isn't entirely related to how many people are in the shop as they take quite a few phone and collect orders. I wouldn't begrudge them this business at all though! So if on a whim you pop in its quite variable how long you wait for food, but its always worth the wait for what they hand you over...

Quite possibly the most underrated place to eat in Bristol, Al Waha serves amazing and authentic Lebanese/Palestinian Shawarma, kebab and felafel wraps filled with Uncle's amazing home made hummus chilli sauce. The food is amazing enough, but what sets this small takeaway apart is the big hearts of everybody working there. You could never forget the warmest of welcomes that Liz gives you on every visit. This hospitality is true of Bristolians in general and is the reason why this place and city will always hold a dear place...

Travelled to a lot of countries and cities and i’ve yet to taste food like this! From the shawarma to the lebanese pizza and even the burgers. The attention to detail in everything is unbelievable. The only eatery i’ve been to that’s nailed literally everything on the menu. This combined with the friendliest most authentic service, means if I had to choose one place to eat for the rest of my life it would be here. Credit to Mr Khalid,...
