About Today Shawarma
Today Shawarma is a shawarma restaurant at 8 Earlston Pl in Edinburgh, and it opens every day of the week. Bread is baked fresh in a tandoor oven in front of customers, so guests can watch it made before it reaches the table. The menu includes chicken shawarma served as a wrap, with lamb tikka and lentil soup alongside it for those after something different. Shawarma can sell out later in the evening. When the room fills, customers share seats.

Customer Review Summary
The criticism centers on the lamb. One reviewer calls the lamb tikka tasteless, with small pieces, and says the lamb kuzi was not the best and the naans came half size. Another says the lamb was not grilled properly. One reviewer found the falafel really bad and says the ventilation does not work properly. Another notes the shawarma can sell out late in the evening, while the rest of the menu seems to stay available.

“We had a lamb kuzi & lamb tika here Lamb tika was a joke. Tasteless, small pieces & very expensive. Lamb kuzi comes with three soups however the lamb itself wasn’t the best one. The naans they bake is half size. The place is ok the staff are good but not the food. Quite expensive no taste. Not recommended.”

“Hands down this is currently the best value for money Shawarma place in Edinburgh right now, and a very close contender of being the best tasting shawarma of Edinburgh as well. Food is beautiful. Things sell out, you might not always find the shawarma's during the late half of the evening. Rest of the menu seems to be always available.”
