Lebanese Shawarma & Falafel — Restaurant in Lisbon

Unfortunately, I had a very bad experience here. I ate shawarma at this place and within an hour, I started feeling light-headed, extremely thirsty, and my lips became very dry.

Despite drinking plenty of water, the symptoms worsened: By the evening, my lips were severely irritated. The next day, I had mild stomach pain and intense dryness that wouldn’t go away. On the third day, my lips began cracking and turned black in some areas — similar to a burn or severe irritation.

I personally suspect the food may contain overly harsh spices, acidic additives, or ingredients that caused a strong reaction. This did not feel like a normal response to spicy food — it felt harmful to me.

To be fair, the staff were polite, professional, and respectful, and I appreciated their customer service. However, due to the reaction I experienced, I won’t be returning.

I wasn't in any hurry, nor would I ever consider this to be a restaurant's fault. I was just surprised and amazed by his humbleness. Thank you for being a kind person in...

If you are in the area, you must come try this place! Real authentic middle eastern food, with amazing portion sizes, and it is halal. Came a few days ago and ordered the Shish Taouk, and I just had to come back, ordering the same thing! The staff is EXTREMELY nice and hospitable, made me feel like I was actually back home in the middle east! They will actually go above and beyond for you, even when I was simply ordering takeout. Definitely...
