About Turkish Shawarma
Turkish Shawarma is a Turkish restaurant on Caldmore Grn in Walsall, serving shawarma in naan bread with a choice of fries or plain white rice on the side. The menu extends beyond that format to chicken, lamb, and mix shawarma, sheekh wings, adana kebab, lamb chops, pizzas, and Turkish BBQ. All food served is halal. The restaurant offers both eat-in seating and takeaway, so customers can order at the counter and dine in or carry food away. Delivery is also available, though reports indicate it can take an hour and a half or longer to arrive, so those in a hurry may prefer collecting in person or eating on site.

Customer Review Summary
Lamb shawarma draws the strongest praise, with reviewers calling it flavourful and generously portioned, close behind the mixed shawarama in naan and the Turkish BBQ, which some describe as fresh and well priced with good service. Several also note the meat is lightly spiced rather than hot, better suited to those who prefer milder food. Against this sits a recurring late-order problem: multiple diners describe chicken shawarma and lamb shawarma arriving with gristle, fat, or rock-hard meat during evening orders, with one account of staff admitting food was cooked in a pizza oven after closing equipment was off and no refund offered, only a replacement the next day. Separate reports describe a catering order of pizzas arriving over two hours late with chicken found on vegetarian pizzas and no discount given. Delivery has also been called slow, with waits of an hour or more mentioned alongside one description of a rude driver.

“Great food best service 😋👌testy and clean and fresh all the time”

“I ordered two chicken shawarma's in person this evening, after 9.30pm. We regularly order from here & never had reason to complain. However, today was very disappointing - when we returned home, we found alot of gristle in our naan & to our disgust, they had alot of bits of skin & mutton fat!!! Totally poor service; if you have ran out of food don't serve rubbish/leftovers & bulk it up with fat!! Definitely one for trading standards!!!”

“I placed my order at 7pm, so it’s not as if I ordered right before closing, yet the quality of the food was still shockingly poor. I ordered 2 Sheekh wings with fries and a large Lamb Shawarma with rice, and the shawarma was the worst I’ve ever had. The lamb was rock-hard and tasted like old meat that had been sitting under the shawarma rack for ages. I was extremely disappointed with the quality and flavour—it was completely tasteless. I can’t believe they would serve customers food like this. I’ve attached a photo so you can see exactly what I mean.”

“Edited 13.3.25 - 2.5 stars - Had the mix shwarama in naan with fries, adana kebab with rice, salad. All the Food was average/pleasant and meats were well cooked, lightly spiced, they didn't put sauces on as requested and didn't send any tubs either. The fries aren't all that. The naan is nice. The rice is plain white rice. As I've said in past review if you want something different and lightly spiced not bad. Allow at least 60-90 min for delivery. Ordered from here a while ago, food was ok, very simple and lightly spiced, its best for people who cannot handle spicy food. Had the lamb chops with rice, Mozzarella sticks, california chicken pizza. Haven't ordered again purely based on the fact I prefer a bit more flavour/spice in food, especially if paying these prices. Delivery driver was a bit rude as well unfortunately.”
