Little J Shawarma SXM — Restaurant in Île des Terres Basses

This place is the pure definition of a hole in a wall, or actually a hole in a container for this restaurant. I ordered the Famous shawarma sandwich, which came in a paper bag, you wouldn't expect much from the presentation, however, when you open the bag to unveil the sandwich, you soon realize you've made a mistake judging to quickly. At the beginning, I had to start carving through the sandwich with a fork due to the overstuffness of it. That's where the explosion of tastes happens! As you chew, you discover the myriads of spices, ingredients working in harmony in your mouth, the taste of the meat, the perfect balance of spiciness, the potatoes , the latus, the pepper, the sauce, the thickness of the bread, even the temperature was spot on. This man, has perfected this sandwich over the decades. On top of all that, the price was very reasonable. This place is a Gem. Can't wait to try the other items...

During our stay in St. Martin, we went there three times, trying three different shawarmas: "The Special," "The Famous," and "The Combo." All three were very tasty, juicy, satisfying, and delicious!

It's a humble setting and the atmosphere is relaxing and calm, and the customer service is very friendly. Important info: They only accept cash.

You can easily find parking, and the place is right near Simpson Bay Road. Also you can get there by taxi or local bus.

This place is the best! Fresh and tasty for those hot days and nights in the Caribbean. My husband got the special that was both schwarma lamb and chicken and I got the falafel special - a bottle of wine and the feast began, The sandwich's held so much we almost could not eat it all. We have great middle eastern food at home (Philadelphia, home to the best middle eastern restaurant in America Zahav) and this was a treat. Another great reason to go, is the family that owns the place helps feed stray dogs and cats in the area who really need a helping hand (good Karma). I would tell everyone to visit for some fresh tasty food and...
