“I always use Tasty Shawarma whenever I am in the Leicester area, due to the fact they do and excellent Chicken Shawarma Plate. I now live on the East Coast, if I could move the shop there, it would be great”

“The best shawarma place in Leicester. There are a few seats inside but we have always taken away. Friendly service, family/friends of family run selling tasty fresh juicy lamb and chicken shawarma, that is made in house and isn’t too salty. …”
