Palestinian-style shawarma and grilled chicken
Farooj Abu Al-Abed
A well-known shawarma spot with a solid reputation. My experience was decent — not bad by any stretch, but the shawarma didn't quite reach the heights of my top picks. They have other items on the menu that people rave about, so there may be more to this place than what I've tried.
What to Order
The shawarma is the flagship — try that first. But explore the menu beyond it.
Must Try
The grilled chicken — people who know this spot say that's really where it shines beyond the shawarma.
The Verdict
All right. Not a bad shawarma, but there are better options in the city. The reputation suggests there's more to discover here, so I'm open to going back and trying more of the menu before finalising this verdict.
