Shawarma Street — Restaurant in CBD division

Location

It is inside Nairobi City Centre Mall in the CBD. More in the downtown side making it a hustle of sorts because of all the foot traffic and hawkers.

Food The menu is more fast food than anything. Their shawarmas are popular owing to the name of the place I guess.

Service This place has quite a number of wait stuff which is good, but it also gets packed so the service can be slow. I got good service despite the wait time.

*Experience * I ordered the regular chicken shawarma with an iced hibiscus tea. The shawarma came sizzling hot and the tea was perfectly iced, not too sweet either. I didn't find anything unique with their shawarmas, however, the filling to wrap ratio was well balanced.

It was hard to get a seat because it was quite full and immediately someone left, the spot was quickly filled.

It was very noisy owing to the location. It is not the best place to unwind and catch up. It is more of a grab a quick bite and leave sort of place.

You pay before your order is placed and getting a receipt is a hustle in itself.

Cost My meal was KES 500. I only got a shawarma, no fries. For a full meal, you will probably spend anywhere from KES 650 to KES 1000.

Recommendations If you are already in downtown, you can stop by for a quick meal. If not, I think there are better alternatives. The noisy environment with very heavy foot traffic takes away from...

If you're a true lover of bold, unforgettable flavors, do yourself a favor and stop by this gem of a chicken and shawarma spot. Tucked away on an unassuming street corner, this place redefines what chicken wings and shawarma should be—simple, satisfying, and absolutely packed with flavor.

The portions? Generous. The prices? Super friendly. And the taste? Straight-up world-class.

What makes it even better is the staff—genuinely warm and clearly passionate about what they do. Special shoutout to Jennifer—she’s an absolute star and makes every visit feel like you’re coming home.

This isn't just food—it's an experience. The kind you crave at midnight, rave about to your friends, and find yourself coming back for again and again.

5/5 – A shawarma (and chicken wing) lover’s...

An awesome space within the city centre to eat some shawarma. This was my first time eating Shawarma and I didn't know what to expect but they didn't dissapoint.

I came with a group of colleagues. The place has lots of sitting places both inside and on the balcony. The place could although do with some sift music in the background just to lift the atmosphere one step higher.

We came on Friday as from 6:00pm. Peak hours. Lots of people. The place was so packed. The food took long to come but it's understandable. Great service too.

Expect to find most Gen Zs here catching a quick bite. Not a place to chill on the balcony though. Its noisy and the metal seats aren't great but overall they are awesome. I'll definitely come back. Thanks waitress Elizabeth for the...
