The 30 Best Shawarmas in London

“Loved their machine roasted chicken and chicken shawarma. Will try their broast”

“I went to Shwarma Bar with my girlfriends to celebrate my friends birthday. The hostess is the most charming lovely lady imaginable and the staff were equally superb. Food was amazing, packed with flavour and spices. If you like Mediterranean tapas this place is for you! Couldn’t recommend more highly.”

“The owner is an absolute gentleman, the most immaculate customer service I have ever had. Tried their chicken burger and their lamb donner and it was the best I've tasted locally. Definitely a different and mouthwatering flavour experience. Will definitely be a returning customer.”

“Great family run place. I’ve ordered on Uber eats and also eaten in a few times and the food is always consistently fresh, hot and tasty. Couldn’t recommend the lamb shawarma wrap enough. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. Great value for money. The chips are great and have a nice seasoning on them”

“Very nice place to eat. The staff is very friendly and helpful.The atmosphere is nice. Prices are amazing. All the food we ordered was amazing, especially the manaqeesh which stole my heart. I will definitely visit again. Highly recommended.”

“For me, it is by far one of the most amazing Lebanese restaurants I’ve ever eaten. The Boneless chicken box I’ve eaten was amazing, Ramia and the whole team has looked after us very well. I’ll definitely come back again to this place.”

“This shawarma place is a hidden gem! The chicken is juicy and well-seasoned, wrapped in warm, fluffy bread with just the right amount of sauces and veggies. Prices are very reasonable for the portion size. The staff are welcoming and prepare everything fresh in front of you, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommended if you’re craving authentic, flavorful shawarma”

“Really enjoyed the food I ate there. Ordered a beautiful piece of fish and a variety of salad...I would have taken a picture but was too busy devouring it. Will definitely be back. And both times I have been the staff were great, even helped me get my phone back, which I had lost, but thanks to them I got it back.”

“A popular Middle Eastern (specifically Iraqi) restaurant known for its authentic shawarma, homemade pastries, and vibrant casual dining vibe. Also praised for fresh fruit juices, smoothies, and a great tea selection Handsome value—with wraps starting around £9–10, plates from £7–£19, and desserts like kunafa for about £4.50”

“The food was so good and it has so much flavor”

“Get yourself too the best ever wooowoww”

“Simple and well priced. Large portion is well worth it. You get twice meat and a lot of fries.”

“Local chicken shop. Has the best wings and strip burgers. The peri salt is absolutely unreal you can even buy it separately. Chicken and rice is also great after the gym.”

“They got the best lamb chops ever I will definitely recommend it to my friends and I order every week.”

“Finally tried this place and so glad we did! Had their Shawarmas mixed, lamb only and chicken only - and they all tasted great! Their chilli sauce is a must try it’s homemade. Had all as meals so really good price too - shawarmas were a good size and full of meat. It was near closing time but still gave us great service ! Thank you and see you again!”

“Arabic restaurant, very delicious food, nice work, I recommend visiting it.”

“Really yum. I've walked past so often but never been in the need for food. But today I was in the mood for a meaty wrap and it was great. The team was lovely, and the food was tasty, hot, and fast. Will def be back.”

“Kitchen37 in Forest Gate is a real local favourite, and for good reason. I’ve been coming here for a while, and the food is consistently amazing. The shawarma rice box is my go-to order every time. It’s the perfect combination of flavours. The chicken is always tender, packed with spices, and grilled just right. The rice is fluffy and perfectly seasoned, with fresh salad and a delicious sauce to balance everything out. It’s filling, satisfying, and honestly, just the kind of comfort food you crave. What I love about Kitchen37 is that it offers great value for money. The portions are generous, and the quality of the food is always top-notch. The place has a casual, welcoming vibe, and the staff are friendly and efficient. Even when it gets busy, the service doesn’t suffer, and you can tell that they care about giving customers a good experience. The atmosphere is relaxed, whether you're eating in or grabbing a takeaway. The menu has a variety of options, but for me, nothing beats the shawarma rice box. If you're in the area, definitely stop by. You won’t be disappointed.”

“Small sharma wrap is £5.00. Reasonably priced and i really enjoyed it. The wrap was warm. Full of taste and cooked perfectly. They where really busy when i arrived but was served quickly. There is an option if spicy and non spicy. I had the non spicy one which still has alot of flavour. There are many other options but i recommend the wrap”

“Delicious Syrian food made with great ingredients and care (eg use of saffron in sauces). Particularly recommend the baba ghanoush and the Mashi (very unusual, I’ve never seen this before in the UK). Maher is also a super friendly, charismatic host. Strongly recommend.”

“Staff were very helpful. We had turned up and the place was full due to a large group. We asked them to give us a call when space freed up while we explored the area. They called me and gave us a nice table away from the door. They were patient while we chose from the menu. Food was prepared quickly and everything tasted great. Family enjoyed the experience. The place has a rustic authentic type of air about it. Would love to come back.”

“Loved the breakfast here! It felt very homely and comforting! I had the kare moraba, and it was absolutely delicious. The carrot jam and butter combination was such a standout. My mum had the Persian omelette, which tasted wonderfully authentic. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back. Merci!”

“This is a must-try at Camden Market in the shipping container food court. Finding and then eating at Mr Ali was the best part of our day. We ordered the mixed shawarma (beef + chicken), and it was incredible. The freshness of the ingredients + the incredible flavors of the meats were some of the best we’ve had across 25+ restaurant trips over the last 8 days in London. The chef himself was also kind and welcoming. I hope they open a shop in Chicago. Make time to try Mr. Ali!”

“Mr Walid and Lena are beautiful people and they serve delicious food. I have been coming here everyday for over a year and they honestly treat me so warm and friendly, like family. The food is fresh and seasoned to perfection. I often struggle with what to pick but I can never go wrong with the chicken Tawouk or chicken shawarma or the lamb kofte. No matter what you order it will be made to your liking and you will not regret giving their food a try. The service is fast and efficient. Everything is well worth the price! The food keeps me all day during my studies. I promise you will be a regular customer as I am for them. Stepping into the their establishment is one of the best decisions , I’ve ever made.”

“Amazing restaurant! Having read such incredible reviews, I brought my parents here shortly after moving to the area. We love going to nice restaurants together, so I was excited to find one on my doorstep. Wow - the food is amazing - every single morsel just delicious. The flavours were all exceptional, but what makes this place so special is the service. Totally relaxed and informal, but with so much care and attention. We noticed the staff looking after each table beautifully. It’s rare to find a restaurant combining exceptional food with fabulous service. The fact it’s independent is an even bigger bonus. Could not recommend Lebanese Please more highly & also amazing for takeaway! See you soon! X”

“The BEST BEST BEST Falafel wraps I’ve eaten in London!! My Mum - who is a tough food critic - loved them and so did I Run by the nicest friendliest Guy also (sorry didn’t catch his name) And not expensive either What a great gem to discover in Edgware”

“The reviews don’t lie: super tasty falafels, good quantity for the price, and delicious hummus. Highly recommend when in the area for a tasty lunch grab. Had the salad box with 3 extra falafels for £7.5.”

“I’ve been here with my partner for our 3rd engagement anniversary , we just wanted something local and relaxing. The food was very tasty and the service was good too. Staff are very polite and friendly. We will definitely go back again!”
