Ideal for nice quick lunch, wrap toasted well and good amount of shawarma and salads. Service was also good. Small shop, with seating outside. Fries portion was quite small. Other than that all good

Tried their shawarma and loaded fries after seeing an Instagram reel, and both were really good and delicious. However, we became huge fans of their loaded fries — absolutely mouthwatering and packed with flavor! Definitely a must-try spot. On top of the great food, the customer service was also excellent, which made the experience even better. Thank you team! Well done

Just had shawarma for the first time and was pleasantly surprised! The meat was flavorful and juicy, the sauces complemented everything perfectly, and the wrap was fresh. Great portion size for a very reasonable price. Definitely worth trying again!

One of the best shawarmas I have had in brum. Not those kebab shop salad filled shawarmas. If you love the shawarma wrap to be meat filled and have an authentic taste to it, this is the place. Their 3 shawarma for £11 is a really good deal. Happy meal is great too. This is my go to shawarma spot.

The original Kerala chicken shawarma best one i had in Birmingham. Could taste the real kerala spices in the chicken. They haven't over complicated it adding too many things, its only the well- marinated chicken ,some fries,onion and lettuce with mayo . Chicken wasn't dry at all unlike other shawarma spots . Will definitely be going back
