A Lebanese Shawarma counter built around the saj Shawarma, a flatbread wrap filled with marinated meat cooked on a vertical spit and traditionally served on a hot griddle.
The kitchen differentiates itself through its saj preparation, which chars the wrap and melds the bread with meat and rendered fat in a way that standard pita Shawarma does not achieve. The menu also anchors around grilled skewered meats, Shish Tawook, Kofta Kabab Lamb Chop platters fresh Falafel wraps, serving the Danforth's Lebanese community and the broader east-end appetite for straightforward Mediterranean grill work. The saj Shawarma is the kitchen's calling card, a textured departure from the standard wrap that regulars return for.
Try the chicken shawarma, beef shawarma, lamb shawarma, falafel wraps, hummus.
