One of Jerusalem's most famous shawarma spots, operating since 1956 and a true pilgrimage site for meat lovers. The lamb and turkey shawarma are carved fresh and stuffed into fresh pita with an array of condiments. Lines form quickly, especially at lunch, but they move fast. This is the definitive Jerusalem shawarma experience — no frills, no reservations, just exceptional street food.
