Quick info
About ADMA Shawarma Lebanese restaurant
On Bowling Green St in Leicester, ADMA Shawarma Lebanese restaurant serves classic Lebanese food from a compact kitchen with only a few tables for dine-in. The seven-item menu centers on Lamb Shawarma and Halloumi, with shawarma wraps served alongside garlic sauce and mixed grill plates combining chicken and lamb shawarma with rice. The owner does the cooking himself, and food is prepared fresh, with some of it made in front of customers. Seating is limited, so families with young children can use the high chairs on offer while waiting, though the small dining room suits quick visits more than long ones. There's no booking system here, it runs on a walk-in basis, and orders can also be placed for takeaway or delivery for those eating off site. The restaurant opens Tuesday to Sunday and stays closed on Mondays.

Customer Review Summary
Shawarma is what reviewers return for, described as fresh, flavourful and made in front of the diner, with lamb, chicken and mixed meat plates served with rice, salad and chips. Portions are called generous, and several praise friendly, quick service from a chef some describe as hard working. The garlic mayo, or garlic sauce, earns repeated praise, and one reviewer would return only for the chicken and meat wraps as takeaway. Complaints are specific. One reviewer found a lamb shawarma wrap ordered through delivery burnt and stale-tasting, another found the chicken and lamb dry and overcooked on a recent visit, and a third called the halloumi rubber-like and the hummus average. A few describe a moody chef, long delays, a smell with no ventilation, and few tables, with ordering and collecting done at the counter. Some say the place looks run down yet still find it cosy. Reviewers suggest arriving early because the food runs out quickly, and taking a wrap to eat outside Town Hall when in a rush.
