Shawarma Reading in Reading

We came here after uni, and had the best shawarma of our lives. The worker is also the sweetest man on earth. Great food and service!

The shop is little bigger than a kiosk; but it's good to have a proper shawarma joint this side of the town centre. I had a lovely chat with the owner while he compiled my chicken wrap. A Syrian himself, he says he purveys the only true Lebanese shawarma in Reading. Could I tell the difference? I'm no expert; but usually the wraps are stodgy and boring, yet here they are cooked in with the contents, which makes a pleasant change. I enjoyed this style of shawarma a lot. When he handed me the bag, I said, "Card, please." And, to my amazement, he waved my card aside and said it was on the house. He insisted. What a guy! So I said I'd come back another day. Which I did, though the boss man wasn't there himself. And now I will always go back when in Reading. I like to see a small, independent business taking on the chains, so I wish this one well. It's got soul.
