Original shawarma — Restaurant in England

Avoid this place! Terrible food hygiene practices! We visited late at night for shawarma and were shocked when a staff member emerged from the kitchen wearing yellow gloves typically used for cleaning. To our disbelief, he used these gloves to gather leftover salad from the counter before closing. It's likely this same salad will be served to customers the next day. I maintained eye contact, and the staff member seemed aware of the wrongdoing. What's even more concerning is that the owner appeared unfazed, suggesting this might be a regular occurrence.

Original Shawerma is a culinary gem that delivers an authentic taste of Middle Eastern street food. From the first bite, it’s clear why this spot has earned its loyal following. The star of the show is the shawarma itself—succulent, thinly sliced meat (chicken or beef) marinated in a fragrant blend of spices, then slow-roasted to perfection. The meat is tender, juicy, and packed with smoky, garlicky notes that linger delightfully on the palate. Wrapped in a warm, pillowy flatbread, it’s layered with crisp veggies, tangy pickles, and a generous drizzle of creamy tahini or garlic sauce, creating a harmonious balance of textures and flavour.

The service is quick and friendly, ideal for a casual lunch or a late-night craving. The no-frills, clean ambience keeps the...
