What to Order
Chicken Shawarma Wrap
This wrap features perfectly tender, juicy, and seasoned chicken, packed with fresh veggies and wrapped in their signature tandoori bread.
"The chicken was the highlight: perfectly tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. Unlike some spots that skimp on the greens, this wrap was packed with fresh, crunchy veggies that balanced the richness of the meat beautifully. The tandoori bread added a nice, authentic chew that elevated it above your standard pita wrap."

Supreme Chicken Shawarma
A densely packed shawarma with thin slices of meat, sauces, and fillings, all wrapped in freshly made tanoor bread and pressed for a crispy finish.
"Their Supreme Chicken Shawarma is top-tier. It is densely packed with thin slices of meat, sauces, and other fillings. Everything is packaged together in their freshly made tanoor bread that is soft and cripsy. Right before serving the tanoor-wrapped shawarma is slightly pressed against the grill to give it that welcome burnt crisp taste. What stood out as a little different was that the shawarma wrap has something like coleslaw inside. It gives it a unique flavour profile compared to many othet shawarma wraps."

Iraqi Kebab Plate
A generously sized plate featuring Iraqi kebab, served with two sauces and a side of grilled vegetables.
"The Iraqi Kebab Plate's serving size is big. Depending on the person, you can either indulge and eat it all in one seating or eat just enough and take a portion to go. The Plate comes with 2 sauces and a side of grilled veggies to balance out the meaty taste."

Mixed Kebab Plate

"Had their mixed kebab plate. Everything was fresh, tasted very nice and made to order."
