Are you a shawarma lover but are tired of having the same shawarma roll over and over again with the same shredded chicken and tasteless sauce? So were we. But then we found these.
Smolee’s ‘Grilled Chicken Shawarma’ Their specialty is the grilled chicken shawarma itself. A whole chicken breast piece is smoked on a grill over coals and wrapped in a pita bread along with a filling of white shawarma sauce and their special red chili sauce. If you like spicy food ask them for extra chili sauce I guarantee you it is one of the few places in Lahore where extra chili doesn’t make your food taste bad. (This place is tried and tested by our Bazaar writer and he rates their Grilled Chicken Shawarma Shawarma 9/10)
Price-Rs.120.
Location-Smolee, next to the mosque, International Market, Model Town, Lahore.
Bait-ul-Shawarma’ ‘Platter Box’ (Johar Town) Bait-ul-Shawarma serves their shawarma in small 1-bite sized cuttings along with olives and jalapeneos and a combination of sauces. The pita bread is very thin allowing for a quicker and easier taste of the flavor of chicken, which has a hint of smokey flavor in it. (Also tasted by our Bazaar writer and rated at an 8.5/10) Disclaimer: Don’t confuse with the branch in DHA H Block. It doesn’t taste the same. Price-Regular Platter Rs.450 (6 bite sized pieces) Location- 433 Khayaban-e-Firdousi, Block F Phase 1 Johar Town, Lahore
Sultan Shawarma’s ‘Mera Sultan’ Sultan Shawarma has changed shawarma from the core by introducing a shawarma that has a filling of beef instead of chicken. The beef is very tender and easy to chew and tastes amazing. Made with 100% veal chuck beef combined with lettuce, gherkins and their special sauces, Mera Sultan is a must try for shawarma connoisseurs. Price- Rs.360 Location- 14-A, Civic Center, Moon Market, Lahore
Riswan Pocket Shawarma As is pretty evident by its name, the pita bread is cut open from one end to create a pocket which is filled with sauce and diced chicken right to the top. The shawarma is served looking like an over flowing pocket. Price- Rs.200 (Rs.230 with cheese) Location- Bank Square Market, Model Town, Lahore
Boom Boom’s ‘Chicken Platter Shawarma’ Serves shawarma platters consisting of separate pita bread, chicken meat, vegetables and sauces. You get to put together your own shawarma using the ingredients, based on your personal preferences. (Although other places in Lahore are selling similar shawarma platters, Boom Boom is hands down the best one!) Price-Rs.200 Location- Boom Boom, C798+P75, Block A 1 Valencia, Lahore,
