The Original Shawarma in York

I popped in for the first time today as I work nearby. Got the shawarma wrap. It was absolutely delicious- packed with flavour, reasonably priced and the staff are lovely.

Great place in the middle of York

Excellent food and quick service

Best kebab in York hands down. Very reasonably priced too

Visited for halal option for takeout dinner, on a cold November night, and so happy with the very generous portions of lamb shawarma, and it was very tasty food indeed. We ordered two lamb shawarma wraps, one with chips and drink, plus a traditional Arab tea, all for just £15. It was delicious! Highly recommended, and definitely going there again. In summary; the flavours were authentic and fresh, the portions were very generous, and the prices were very affordable. The restaurant was spotless, and the staff were extremely friendly and attentive, served with Salaam's and smiles! Both of us were completely satisfied!

Excellent chicken shawarma, freshly cooked bread and good yoghurt drink. Loads better than the one near the museum gardens. Staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

Delicious meat shawarma with tannour bread. Tannour bread is baked fresh in front of you They have tea I highly recommend it

Clean . Nice food. And good value compared to the rest of york . And better food .

Staff very friendly and helpful would also recommend the chicken tikka wrap Good value for money

Good food, good price, friendly staff. Only thing the lamp kebab was chewie, need cooling more.

Quite central halal place. Food is value for money for a place like York. They do shawarma in Naan and not Lebanese bread though. Overall decent portions

The best Tekka you will ever taste in York.

Came here with wife to eat lunch, so happy with the big portion and the tasty food. We ordered full tandoori chicken with rice, and also one bottle of water for £15. It was delicious my wife is talking about going back to York just to eat here again. Definitely will go there again.

Best halal food in York, tasty and quality food, very friendly staff always helpful.

Still the best place to go for an authentic Shawarma. Freshly cooked breads, great salads and sauces. I love going here for a lunchtime wrap when I'm working in the area. Quickly cooked and so very tasty...

Awful, I don't know what the 'lamb' was but it didn't taste like any lamb I've ever eaten, the texture was all wrong too. The chicken was palatable. Salad was ok. The bread was really good.

Great food,great prices and fabulous staff

Great food,great prices and fabulous staff

We have amazing food and it was perfect thank you guys. Really good price friendly staff

Did not get to taste the food staff too rude when trying to order Would I go in here again definitely not

To be honest the delicious food ever had friendly staff clean good service good price fresh food well done guys

I literally live over the road! I do not feel well so did not want to cook anything! So over the road I went for a halloumi wrap! I'm small so I thought the wrap was massive! For £4.00 I could not believe it, I expected it to be a lot more. The gentleman serving me was lovely, then I was directed to the lady at the till. She too was lovely and I just think that the whole place was fantastic and very good value for money! Very much appreciated to have hot food when I felt unwell and could not be bothered to cook anything! Cannot wait for the next one xxx

Great food,great prices and fabulous staff Small area for sitting in

food was really good and fresh and also a very good atmosphere.

Really good food and customer service. The prices are very reasonable aa well.

I visited yesterday and totally satisfied with services😍keep it up guys.

Best Saucy Shawrma in York, Must Try :)

i really feel comfortable in their,clean and friendly environment 👌👌

Witnessed 3 work men order and ask for there money back as the man wiped sweat from his head onto there food i felt sick and walked out and left without my food didnt even ask for a refund absolutely disgusting place also the service i recieved wasnt the best they was very rude people

I found best shawrma in york really testy and fresh Very polite staff. We wait little long because to busy it's make sense but waiting for it it worth it well done guys keep it up will see you soon 👌

Nice place to eat and really serves good food. The place in York where you can get a shawarma.

Was in the establishment today really looking forward to the 3 shawarmas me and my colleagues were waiting for until we had to ask for refund as he wiped the sweat from his forehead and was still massaging the nan bread and this was after waiting 20 minutes very disgusted

Absolutely delicious and really good value for money. Staff were friendly and portion was good! Definitely recommend!

The food is delicious, the bread is fresh tannour bread, and the shawarma is delicious

We stayed in the Gillygate area and had such a lovely meal here, especially after the previous evenings horrible visit to the Three Chefs. A nice atmosphere, busy but attentive staff, no loud music! The food was amazing, they make the bread to order in a clay oven and it is so nice and fresh. The chicken and lamb were so juicy and the salad was nice with lots of choice. We also had a lentil soup which was so good! When I am back in York I will call here again even if I stay in another part as it is worth it!

Called in to get a Shawarma for my lunch, excellent service, flat breads are cooked fresh with your order. Food was excellent.

Food was fresh and really tasty. Not fatty at all! Salad crisp and decent portion sizes. We had enough to feed three for £20. Big bonus…fan blowing into seating area…nice and cool!

The best wrap I've ever had. Freshly cooked naan with delicious mixed shawarma.

Had excellent falafel here with the best flat bread I've had in years. Would recommend.

We Googled ‘halal food near me’ and found this fabulous eatery in York. Most food places in York are super pricey. I ordered chicken tikka wrap meal and my hubby mixed shawarma plate meal with two breads. It was £20 and enough for 3 people! All the food was really fresh, crispy salad, lovely soft bubble bread as I call it and delicious meat. They had a huge fan and clean spacious seating. I really appreciated the food and the good service!

Me and my boyfriend often come here for a nice and easy treat now and then. Staff recognise us and are always super friendly, place is really hygienic and never had issues with the food. The price of their meal deals are so good especially with the other prices in york!

A gem of a find! We've had both delivery and take away from Original Shawarma on Goodramgate and both were delicious! Freshly cooked breads, gorgeous salads and tasty chicken. Portion sizes are generous and service is happy and friendly. I would definitely recommend and we will be back!

The intension was to take a photo of the food but we couldn't resist when we got it. Absolutely amazing. Had the mix shawarma meal and it was filling.

Day out with family.. Very disappointing, should of gone with my instincts ...when the food arrived, the chips were horrid , dry and undercooked... The kebab meat was like chewing elastic bands, very fatty and disappointed.. On the plus side they did refund our money without any hesitation..

Genuinely fantastic. The best meal we had in York. Meat was crispy and delicious, sauces were well balanced and a lovely crunch from the salad. All for an amazing price.

The best shawrma in York City...so tasty

Excellent. Highly recommend. So impressed that we went back a second night. Had take out wraps and chips. Bread and salad really fresh, meat delicious. Great value too.

Awesome fresh and tasty food! Reasonably priced as well!

We had an incredible dining experience at this clean Turkish restaurant! As a family of four, we ordered the mixed shawarma meal and chicken shawarma with rice, and every bite was delicious. The flavors were authentic, the portions generous, and the prices very affordable. The restaurant was spotless, and the staff was friendly and attentive. We left completely satisfied. Highly recommend!

Words can't describe what an amazing party night we had!! The food was the centre of attention for all and everyone enjoyed it so much!!! The perfect food to pair with good company on an evening!!!

After a long time eating an authentic shawarma. Loved it. Recommend recommend recommend!!!

I had an amazing experience with the shawarma from this place. The shawarma is incredibly delicious, featuring a rich marinade and a mouth-watering taste. The meat was tender, and full of flavor, with an excellent balance of spices. The vegetables used were fresh, adding a delightful crunch and flavor to every bite. The bread was soft, and easy to eat without falling apart. As for the quantity, it was very generous, with plenty of meat, vegetables, and sauces, making it a satisfying and wholesome meal. Honestly, this is one of the best shawarma experiences I've had, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality and plentiful shawarma.

Best shawarma in york the staff is very good very friendly nice place 🔥⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best shawarma in york the staff is very good Naan bread is fresh and delicious I took 10 naan bread with me and I left it for next day for breakfast and the naan bread was fresh and tasty 😋 Thanks

Great food always warm and full of flavour. The staff are always lovely and chatty and quick with my order I must come here atleast twice a week as it’s easy and filling

After a horrible experience last night at the previous place I reviewed this was the exact opposite. No nonsense, friendly service, lovely food, smelled wonderful whilst waiting! Have the mix shawarma, it has bread made on the premises, an absolute delight! Compared with the place over the road from here are people who take pride in food and are great and could not have been more helpful and kind.

Excellent food and good prices.

The best wrap I had in York. Fair price and taste well.

Really lovely, great service, tasted delicious, and surprisingly well priced. I don’t know how they do it, but they do it brilliantly. If anyone is reading this and not sure if you want to try it, do it. You will not regret it.

The best shawarma in UK. Wrap bread, kebab meats and salads was perfect. Price-performnce rate perfect.

Really nice fresh tasty food, great service. Worth a visit.

The food was very tasty and reasonable price . The staff was extremely friendly. We visited as a group after York tour , even though we were a crowded group , the service was quick and the food was hot. I definitely recommend this place.

Food and serving were under avarage, even we had to ask for tissue. Meat was too fatty to be eaten. Moreover they took our picture without our consent.

All good portion of food in affordable price and it's halal

My favorite place to eat in York!

We will continue to enjoy food here because the food is fresh, healthy and delicious, the service is very friendly, and it’s very easy to eat at one of their tables in the back. We’ve also gotten food to go, and the order has always been perfect.

Fantastic food. We had the grilled chicken, shawarma, falafel and soup. Everything was really good. Highly recommended

On a quick tour of York after an overnight stay and wanted to grab a bite to eat. This place was perfect! Fabulous flatbreads cooked fresh as we waited, generously filled with tasty chicken and salad and good value. (£5 each) Speedy service too. The only problem was eating it without making too much mess!

Hello, I am the mother of a Spanish linguistic immersion boy who was eating at your restaurant on Thursday, you probably don't remember him but my son and we will always remember you very gratefully. He blocked the credit card trying to enter the PIN and at only 12 years old his reaction was very normal, you were able to see the boy's doubt, anguish and insecurity and told him not to worry that you were inviting him. We are your parents and we are eternally grateful. A big hug and thank you for your solidarity from Valencia (Spain).

Recommended this place by an Uber driver and it was what he said and more. Great tasting shawarma but the grilled chicken tikka wrap was my favourite. Also the Garlic Sauce was a dream

Finally found a eatery worth every single pound.

Ate at the Original Shawrma today. The staff was lovely, and the food great.

Good restaurant. The portions are very generous

Nothing to say. One of the best. Briliant service and very good shawarma.

Food was fantastic, had a mixed shawarma wrap.

Nice takeaway and has a dine in option as well. Excellent prices and very tasty food. Chicken Tikka wrap is the best.

Really like this place and I’ve tried a few around York since moving here. Good value for money too. I’m sure I’ll be back there soon.

Went in the evening. Got a lamb shawarma wrap meal and it was unbelievable. Freshly cooked and full of flavour. Service was the best part as well - unbelievable

A bit salty but really authentic. The homemade flatbreads that everything is served with are the best!

What a hidden gem this place staff are really friendly and couldn’t do more to help I ordered a mixed grill and lentil soup was easily enough for two excellent value everything was cooked to perfection would definitely recommend I will be back with friends and family

Really tasty food for really affordable prices. Best value for money in York. My go to food is the Authentic Kurdish Shawarma which costs between £5 - £6

this is the best original shawarma in the house 🫡👍👍

Good food but needs the option of customizing your order on Deliveroo. (What drink, sauce salad etc) Edit: Thanks for fixing that

Nice shawarma in the town york do visit and test the food its amazing 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Visited for lunch today and had the mixed Shawarma Meal deal wrap and it was amazing. The food was tasty and hot and nicely presented. The staff were very friendly and helpful too. I will definitely be visiting again as this meal deal was excellent value for £8.

The food is both delicious and fresh, with generous portion sizes; however, one item was missing. Nonetheless, I am highly satisfied with the excellent customer service. They graciously offered me complimentary items and promised to include them in my next delivery. I will definitely be ordering from them again.

I adore their shawarma! Their wraps are made to order, the ingredients fresh and delicious. A firm favourite in my family for take-out night!

Great food and service. Been few times, always excellent.

Best place for shawarma and fresh food well done

Called in just before they were closing....couldn't be more accommodating...super fresh food and more than welcoming.....portion size is fabulous and the taste and experiences is insane. Hunt this place out..you won't be disappointed!! 5 stars🌟 ...thankyou x

Beautiful shawarma hands down best in York with a great seating area. I normally go for the chicken it is always seasoned to perfection and the fresh bread is unreal definitely check this place out if you’re in the area. Amazing food at cheap prices

This place is as authentic as it gets outside of turkey , not just your normal high street kebab . It’s just done properly

It's the best shawrma in the York . Very clean. Fixable price. Very kind staff 😀. Highly recommend 👌

Fresh bread made on the premises, friendly staff, delicious meat and salad. Great value for the price.
