Customer Reviews

"Afficent shawarma made me fall in love with the shawarma snack. They make it so delicious and the outfit is so easy to locate on al sultan road just a bit ahead of British Council located on lamido crescent"

"My order was ready within 10-15mins. I ordered for the large chicken shawarma with double sausage, and was surprised at the size, compared with other places, it was big. I'll rate it 7/10, as I have had better. …"

"Good quality. Offers delivery service as well. Waiting time usually 5-10 mins before being served. However takeaways are better as the place is not conducive to eat."
