After traveling from England to Oslo for a family break, and after the third day of eating pickled fish and roasted pork, I was in desperate need of a Shawarma fix. I decided to just keep walking, determined to find something, and after passing a few slightly less desirable spots, I caught sight of a place where the scent of chicken and spices cut through the cold Oslo air.

The detail in their traditional Damascus-style wraps was enough to pull me inside. It wasn’t just a shawarma; it was a work of art.

In my opinion, Chicken House is charging too little for the high quality they offer.
I highly recommend it and will definitely be back there!
Wishing you guys a...
