Shawarma is the new deal - my cousin 😆🤣🙂‍↕️

While visiting my cousin, we discovered a newly opened restaurant serving Shawarma! 😋

Don’t judge me, but I ordered a Shawarma bowl without rice—I had to choose between sweet potato fries and rice, and my craving for sweet potato fries won. No regrets—they were amazing! The Shawarma bowl itself was absolutely delicious.🙂‍↕️

My cousin went for the classic Shawarma in a burrito-style wrap, and we both chose beef because, well, it’s just too good! I also have to mention the thoughtful to-go packaging—the food is neatly packed in an organized container and placed in an insulated bag. 👍

What we ordered:

1. Beef Shawarma with onions 🌯🧅

2. Beef Shawarma bowl with sides 🥙: babaganush, Shuka salad, quinoa tomato salad, tomatoes, cucumber, small pita, and sweet potato fries. (There were other pickled side options, but since I’m not a fan of pickles, I opted for these instead.)

Highly recommend this spot! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

📍Location: 1610 Gravesend Neck Rd, Brooklyn, NY 11229
