Shawarma Reading in Reading - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

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.
