Good food. Good value for money. Highly recommended. They have Syrian staff who prepares the food. Authentic taste.If you prefer spicy food, mention it on the counter.The wait is long so be prepared to wait for 30 to 40 minutes at dinner time.Beef shawarma is highly recommended (Rs 550). You can enjoy Basbosa Sweet for Rs 50 per piece.

Really Tasty Shawarma. Tried Chicken Shawarma and it justified its price tag. Quality and Quantity is good. Sitting and cleanliness needs to be improved.

Excellent food. Service was a little confusing though as you have to get your food from different places yourself. Not much spice involved which is good for many people.

Unbelievable taste,Unbelievable quality,Syrian boys at their best.Best place for Shawarma be it Chicken or Beef, both are extra ordinary taste and quality.I have travelled in Arabs countries, tasted their sharwama but this is above class.Prices are also very fair.Not enough space for sitting but a nice place for take away.My rating is 9/10

Went at 4pm and they were just starting the grilling of the skewers. There was a waiting time of 30 mins. Moreover, beef shawarma wasnt available/ready. Bought a chicken shawarma platter and a chicken shawarma. The quality seemed really good. The platter comes with specially prepared garlic mayo dip, salads and pickles. Overall the taste is quite authentic and delicious. Quantity could be improved considering the prices are on the higher side. The staff is Pakistani though, couldnt find any Syrian.

Awesome food at very economical rates, gr8 taste. A worth visiting place for a different taste and food. Just a recommendation dont order half platter for 2 people. It was too much in quantity and we three could not finish it hahhaha

Heard alot about it so thought of giving it a try . Its not bad but its nothing special . The add of pickles in typical shawarma of middle east which blends for a taste is not there.

Overly famous food point in busy Markaz if f-10 it deserve 4 star but yo compensate the hype I rated 3 star.hy its just a normal showarma in taste I would rather say its healthier showarma as they dont use Peta bread rather they use while grain bread. For their bread I advise you to order spicy version otherwise it will just taste salty. I like they style they grill the showarma after stuffing. Very hygienic. A must try showarma and other arabic side orders.

Tried chicken shawerma. Quantity and taste wise it was great. Different from traditional shawermas available in market.

Review №13

They used to be good but not anymore. The delivery is super slow, and finally when the food (beef with rice) was delivered, it was cold as ice. It seems that the food was prepared hours ago and it was totally cold when it got delivered. Also, they use a lot, like a lotttttt of fat in beef. I have been to the middle east, indeed fat is used in cuisine specially shawarma and all, but these guys here use a lottttt of fat so much so that its very bad for health. Cold food lots of fat and lousy service, these guys will very soon be out of work.

If you are looking for a middle Eastern flavor then its just the right placefood derving size is actually quiet generous so order accordingly or ull be eating that platter for two days

Review №16

The shawarmas used to be authentic when they newly started out but as theyve expanded, the taste has become more desi. Nonetheless, still one of the best Arabian restaurants in the city!

We have been looking to eat at a good shawerma place in Pakistan. Cudnt find one so have made my own arabic food so far. I dont eat arabic food here as the food that requires the garlic paste, is filled with mayonnaise.i dont like Mayo on everything. Not long ago, I had read an article about this syrian refugee ,who had opened a shawerma place in F 10, markaz, by the name of syrian shawerma. Pls do try it. It was a very authentic shawerma. Very filling and the taste was original. Yummy. Will go there again to try more arabic dishes. So those of you who like arabic food, give this a try. Enjoy your food. Amazing.

I tried Syrian shawarma yesterday so i let you know that there are not spices in shawarma as we Pakistanis expect. This is arab kind of good and simple taste of sause (comprising mayonnaise with garlic). And the outer thing of shawarma is kind a chapati not a shawarma bread which is very good.

Review №26

The tortilla bread tasted different fromthat of the authentic arabic shawarma... The flavours were too strong, felt more Pakistanified which was a con for me.... They have this afghan platter however which tasted pretty good.

Review №27

Tried chicken shawarma, which was okayish. They were out of beef, which would have been my first choice. Too much garlic paste and very little turshi. Confused why all Authentic shawarma makers think us Desi(s) like garlic paste so much??Have to try their other dishes. And yet, the quest to find a good authentic shawarma in Pakistan continues...

Tried Chicken, Sheesh Tauq and Beef. It was worth it and the price was good too.

Review №31

Tried the platter and it was great honestly. The sauce was on point and serving was ample for two people. Would try shawarma next time InshaAllah. The sitting area was okay but covid precautions were not taken seriously by the customers. The staff however was well mannered and were taking proper precautions. I would definitely recommend this to a person with a taste for Arabic shawarma, although dont get your hopes as high up as Shawarmers shawarma taste.

Review №43

The most authentic and amazing shawarma you can find in Islamabad! Have been visiting this place almost on a weekly basis ever since they opened and I have to say its one of the rare places which have never ever disappointed me in terms of food quality and taste. The chicken, the garlic sauce, the fries, the pickles and the bread; its just perfect. Theyve really maintained their standard and kept it consistent over the period which is a big plus. I see the owner present on the spot often and is working alongside everyone. Hes a pleasant person to talk to! Its one of my favorite places to eat out from and I would definitely recommend it to everyone.P.s. Do not go here if youre expecting desi shawarmas with spices and sauces

Best Kabuli pulao, simple platter and their Syrian beef shawarma is also good

Fa
Review №45

A good place to get the authentic taste of a Syrian, west Arabian taste of shawarma in Islamabad. This taste is a bit out of reach of the local taste buds. For the local taste a bit of Tabasco should be added. For the authentic taste it is ok.

Review №46

Love their shawarma and kabuli Palao, both are highly recommended. The chicken tikkah seemed a bit devoid of spices, not suited to a Punjabi taste palette

Tasty shawarma, even medium size shawarma is more than enough for a healthy person. Great place for shawarma lovers. Prices are very reasonable. Have a neat and clean indoor and outdoor sitting area

We went all the way from Rawalpindi to try the famous Syrian Shawarma but to our disappointment it was over and we were told to try the Chicken Shishtawook.Taste of Chicken Shishtawook was good but our main goal of trying Syrian Shawarma was not served.

The originality of shawarma. Although it can still improve to be perfect. Down side is the lack of mutton (lamb) variant.

Review №67

I tried Syrian Shawarma as soon as the hype started in F-10 and I was quite impressed!It is the only place in Islamabad where you can get an original Arabic style Shawarma. The roti they use is thin, unlike the other thick naan that all other places use and they make an authentic white sauce called “thom” which is delicious and evolves the flavor of all ingredients in the shawarma. I usually prefer beef wherever I go but their chicken one is absolutely delicious!They do not have a sitting area unfortunately, but the food stays warm in the packaging if you want to go home and eat.The best part is, however, that the prices are so reasonable! So you’ve got food of good quantity, quality and they are very quick in preparing your order as well. They even prepare the food right in front of you so you get to watch that fiery action happen In conclusion, my experience(s) at Syrian shawarma have always been great and I would recommend this place to everyone (even if you don’t love shawarmas) because it really is the best in the capital.P.S I was so busy enjoying my shawarma that I forgot to take pictures of it but I’ll make sure I upload them here next time ️

Desi food lovers stay away. If you are looking for authentic arabic shawarma with mild spices and great taste, this is the closest thing to it in Islamabad. Prices are reasonable and serving size is huge. Must try!

Review №71

Finally we have a real shawarma in Islamabad. The recipe is authentic, both chicken and beef shawarmas tastes the same as one is having it in UAE or Saudi or any other Arab states.I am anxiously waiting to try their falafil sandwich with tahini sause. Also if they add humus and mutabbal to the menu they will standout as authentic mid-east food outlet.

As an ex-gulf citizen i can assure you their chicken Shawarma is the closest thing you can get to UAE type shawarma. Ive finally found the Shawarma i was searching after 8 years in isb/rwp Pakistan. Was not disappointed(Just make sure you tell them extra Garlic Sauce)

I think taste is good. very close to the Arab World.i dont like the un professional behavior of the people serving customers. They are always busy in making jokes among themselves without really caring on customer services and end product delievery. Really need an improvement there.Rated 4 Star on taste.
