Quick info
About Shawarma City
Shawarma City is a Middle Eastern restaurant in Birmingham city centre, set at 15A One Martineau Place and decorated in the style of an Arabian market. While an order is prepared, the team serves free lentil soup, corn and bread, so there is something to eat before the main item arrives. The menu centres on chicken shawarma and mixed shawarma wraps, each served with garlic sauce. The falafel wrap is fried fresh once the order is taken, and the menu includes vegetarian options. The restaurant is open daily. Shawarma comes in a wrap, with khobez suggested as an alternative to tortilla.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the chicken and mixed shawarma wraps, describing the meat as juicy, fresh and tender, with big portions and a garlic sauce one reviewer calls really nice. Close behind is the falafel wrap, which one reviewer says is freshly fried after the order is taken. Several mention a free lentil soup with corn and bread while waiting, and others praise the polite, kind staff and a clean room. One reviewer likes that disposable and steel cutlery are both offered, and another says the design feels like an Arabian market. The complaints are specific. Three reviewers say the meat was dry or a bit salty, and one found the bread not fresh with a preservative smell. Two say the foil stuck to the wrap and made it hard to peel and unpleasant to eat. One reviewer found very little meat in the wrap for the price and wished for khobez instead of a standard tortilla, while another wanted more chips in the meal option. Even a critical reviewer notes having no stomach issues afterwards.

“Food is delicious and well worth the price. Very good portions!”

“Considering the shop is in the city centre, the prices of food is very reasonable. Food was fresh and did taste good. Staff were polite. Place was clean when I went. Also what I did like very much was that they have disposable cutlery aswell as steel, so you have choice rather then seeing suspected unwashed cutlery like some other food outlets.”

“This place is a fantastic Palestinian gem in the city centre of Birmingham. They give you a delicious lentil soup and corn and bread while you wait for your order to be prepared at no cost. I found the soup exceptional in taste and very nurturing to taste. Please go and try for yourselves. Big portions of delicious food 😋 😍 👌 x”

“Tried falafel wrap multiple times it was very tasty and sufficient quantity for one time meal. Every time they freshly prepared (fried) after taking the order. That itself is bets part apart from taste.”
