A gem of a place, the best Shawarma in Leicester

Hidden Gem in the Heart of Town! I initially hesitated when I saw the limited menu and the smaller shawarma grills, which didn’t have those towering stacks of meat you see at other places. But, being in a rush, I gave it a try—and I’m so glad I did. The shawarma was honestly fantastic! The flavours were spot on, the seasoning was perfect, and you could tell it was crafted with care. This is a family-run spot by someone from Bilad al-Sham, and it really has that authentic, home-cooked feel. Sometimes, the best meals are where you least expect them. Don’t judge this place by appearances; the food is worth it. Support local, and trust me, you’ll leave happy and satisfied!

Excellent value for a meal under five pounds. I was craving a kebab and was not disappointed. It is a simplistic menu but everything is done really well and with a smile. I was addressed as "boss" and we bantered back and forth on how Americans say water.

A beautiful Palestinian Couple run business. Absolutely LOVED the Shawarma 💛 One of the best in UK, reminded me back of Middle East. Very warm interiors, cosy yet bit run down. Tip: If rush, grab your grub and sit outside Town Hall. Wish them all the very best. Beautiful vibes and absolutely yum food!

They say food taste better when the place looks run down. That is so true! Food was on point and no issues, tasted fresh and was filling. I got a shawarma wrap, chips and drink and it filled me up for the day. The Chef was a very friendly and hard working man who looked after us really well.

I have been many times but yesterday was not good at all. I ordered at 1.30, the wait was 15minutes so i said i would be back at 4.30 to collect for dinner at home. He forgot about my order and gave me the last burnt bits of lamb. The chicken was dry and hard. Very disappointed as usually my fave place.

One of the best hidden gems Leicester has to offer. Adma provides a selection of traditional Lebanese dishes with the most popular being the chicken shawarma. The chicken shawarma is the best I have tasted anywhere in the UK. The "sandwich" comes as a shawarma wrap and the platter is for when you are a little more hungry. The platter comes with shawarma, chips or rice and salad with a garlic sauce on the side. Prices are more than acceptable. Would much rather come here for a satiating hot lunch than a supermarket lunch deal.

This is not a very big place but it does have the dine in option, however you may struggle to find a table as there aren't many and there is no member of staff that will greet or seat you so you have to either wait until a table is available or get take out. We had lunch here with our kids, we wanted to dine in so waited for a table to be available. The Chef who we think is the owner is pretty moody, unfriendly and not a great help at answering questions related to his menu. The female staff member told us she couldn't speak English but then all of a sudden she could, very strange. We found a table at the back so sat there on a very sunken in sofa with what looked like 2 glass side tables stuck together to make it a place to eat. Better tables and chairs while dining in are at the front but were all taken. You have to order your food and drinks at the counter, pay and then collect your food, cutlery, etc yourselves. We ordered some hummus, halloumi cheese, a double or triple mix grill and a few chicken and meat wraps. The halloumi portion was disappointing for its price and the taste was very rubber-like so i would definitely not order that again. The hummus was average and i wasn't a big fan of the mix grill either. However, the wraps were amazing and the garlic mayo was absolutely delicious and a must if you're planning to eat here. We loved the wraps so much and it's the reason why i have given 4* but based on anything else i would have given less stars. I would return here but only to get the wraps and would get these as a takeaway.

Everything from the platter to the wrap was extremely flavorful and simply exquisite. The only thing that wasn't on point was the seating as the sofas at the back were a bit old and worn out.

I have been a loyal customer for a while but unfortunately, I have had to edit my original review from 5 stars to 1. That is mainly due to the owners attitude as he refuses to give you the full portion size for EVERYTHING on the menu, ultimately being a complete rip off. If you order a "mixed" shawarma, you will get about 4 slices of meat and the rest chicken. If you order hummus, you will get a container with 2 tablespoons of hummus and have to pay full price. If you order a box expect it to be half empty. When asked if the box can be filled up to an appropriate amount (even at extra cost), we were told to buy 2 boxes... The portion sizes are laughable in a nutshell. Will not be returning which is a shame, this was my favourite shawarma place in Leicester and it is all due to the strange behaviours of the owner that have let it down completely.

Ordered 3 shawarmas, Total RIP off. Had to go buy food from another place. Total waste of money. All shawarmas had a little bit of chicken and filled with salad, I should have just bought a salad wrap then. Compared to other shawarma shops gives too too too less. I remember when there first opened it was much better. Now it's all about trying to make the most money they can. They've forgotten about quality. I will definitely not go back!! MESSAGE FOR OWNER: People work hard for their money. The food you give is definitely not worth it. You Charge £3.30 for a shawarma. What I got from you I wouldn't even pay £1 for it. FIX UP!! SORRY FOR BEING HARSH. BUT WHAT YOU GAVE IS TAKING THE PISS!

The chicken shawarma is very good, the lamb shawarma is a bit dry but still not bad. The salad included in the plate option is pretty standard and the rice and chips are ok as well. Owners are friendly. Service can be considerably slow when they have to deal with take out orders though, so don't be in a rush. The interior could use a refresh as some others have noted. Decent experience overall.

Popped on for a snack as saw all the 5☆ reviews. Bitterly disappointed. Waiter walked past me when I entered without a good morning. Place seemed run down rather than bohemian. The waitress approached after a few minutes (only two other people dining) . No greeting just stood waiting for my order - scrambled eggs on toast and pot of tea which was served in an array of china, the milk jug being badly cracked and looking a bit mucky inside. Quite unpleasant. Didn't enjoy the food much as eggs had a funny taste poss cooked in oil rather than butter. On rhe whole an unpleasant experience and wouldn't use again.
