Lebanese Shawarma — Restaurant in Riga

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 9/10 — A Must-Try Spot in Riga!

I stumbled upon Lebanese Shawarma Riga while exploring the city and ended up coming back twice—and trust me, I’ll keep coming back!

From the moment I walked in, the staff were so warm and friendly, making me feel welcome and at ease. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and their food.

Now, the food—wow. Everything I ordered was incredibly juicy, fresh, and full of flavor. The shawarma was perfectly seasoned, the portions generous, and every bite just hit the spot. It’s not often you find a place that gets it right every single time, but they’ve mastered it.

If you’re in Riga and craving something satisfying, flavorful, affordable and made with love—this is the spot. Easily a solid 9 out of 10. Highly recommended!...

Shawarma was alright. Tasty, but very small, especially considering the price. Very disappointed they don't offer any lamb or mutton, as it is the staple shawarma meat.

Nothing too authentic. Overall impression was of yet another place by "students" which prioritises profit over service or customer satisfaction. My advice to the people running the place is to take it more seriously - I wouldn't mind a good Shawarma...

Last year, when Lebanese Shawarma opened, their shawarma/kebab was one of the best in Riga. Now, it’s nothing short of pathetic. Today, the food was an abomination. The chicken wasn’t just undercooked, it was flavorless, bland, and downright disgusting. I could barely choke down the tasteless chicken, drowned in garlic sauce, with a few limp fries thrown in for good measure.

We got scammed, plain and simple. It was so bad I was forcing myself to swallow it. And this isn’t some one-off—this is the third time. I gave them two more chances, and they blew it every single time.

Calling this sorry excuse for food “shawarma” is an insult to the Middle East, and the fact they dare to name the restaurant Lebanese Shawarma is an...
