“I’ve heard good things about this place so was very keen on giving it a try. The shop was fairly busy when we arrived but didn’t have to wait long to be served. You can get lamb, chicken or mix shawarma and donner, on trays, or in naans or samoon. They also do sandwiches with different fillings. They do pizzas, garlic bread and a choice of fatayer. My wife and I went with a mix samoon and a donner samoon and we shared a lamb fatayer. The fatayer was delicious. The lamb was very flavourful and the bread was soft. The mix samoon was very good. The salad was nice and the meat was tasty. The bread was excellent and made it extra special. My wife also enjoyed her donner. Although I feel that the shawarma is superior as the donner is pretty standard. Overall we loved our lunch. The service was great. They were fast, efficient and helpful. It’s also very affordable. It is cash only or you can do bank transfer. If we ever come back I’d like to try the special box.”
