About Mr Shawarma

On Gorgie Road in Edinburgh, Mr Shawarma is a halal Middle Eastern takeaway with limited seating, so most orders go out the door. Lamb shawarma wraps and mixed shawarma are recurring orders, and platters come with rice served underneath the meat. The wider menu covers chicken and lamb kebabs, burgers, chicken wings, and pizza. A munchy box is available and can feed two, alongside a BBQ platter and a mixed grill for two, both served with freshly made breads and salad. The counter takes walk-ins, with no reservations, and it opens daily. The shop sits on a main road near Saughton Park, where parking can be difficult.

    “I thoroughly enjoyed my Special Shawarma wrap until I ate the last section. The wrap opened and there was mould on the inside. The thought of how much ive eaten, I'll never know. Heard good things, however this has really put me off. Have taken a photo but this review will not allow me to download it”

    “Visiting Edinburgh and staying at Novotel Edinburgh Park. Ordered two nights in a row from here via Uber Eats. Amazing, tasty, fresh, hot food and reliable delivery service. The picture is from the 2nd night - mixed grill for 2.”
  • Marian Cristian Marin
    “I think it's best not to mix chicken wings (fresh and old). Very disappointed, I've had wings from you before but the last two times you put old wings with a very bad taste, don't try to cover them with spices or grill burn.”

Customer Review Summary

The complaints are specific and recur. One reviewer found mould inside a Special Shawarma wrap, a serious allegation made by that reviewer alone. Another says the lamb munchy box meat smelled and tasted old, and the lamb was chewy with unseasoned rice. A third reports old chicken wings with a bad taste on two visits, and a fourth says the pizza has slipped lately, with a hard base, poor cheese and sometimes a burnt crust. Chips are called average by one diner, who says the bread was freshly cooked.
