Turkish Shawarma in Plymouth

Bit sad that the big restaurant at the southern end of Mutley has closed and seems to have split into a smaller takeaway and eat in kebab and burger place with rest of the old restaurant looking to be metamorphosing into a new barber shop. But all is not lost. Soon after Christmas when we were using Colin Campbell car park we spotted the Shawarma logo sign on the back door of the 3rd or 4th shop down on the southern side of Frankfort Gate. Evidently the business continues in some form and at least deliveries are being picked up from down there.

So okay I live in Plymouth, and was looking forward to trying this New Shawarma Restaurant as we do not have a dedicated Shawarma House in Plymouth. Well the biggest disappointment ever, this must be the worst food I have ever had in my life (and I am in my 50's). Okay so the Lamb Shawarma itself was tasteless apart from fat and grease, it resembles over or recooked about 5 times, hard greasy fat pellets of (sorry for this but) poop. The okra well it can only be described as floating in a red dishwater tasting liquid, with grease/fat floating on top (oh yes an 3 little pieces of okra?). This establishment either need to employ somebody who can cooker get out of catering immediately.

Our second visit. Gorgeous food for the money. The tea is lovely and the service is great. My daughter ordered steak and we assumed it would be beef steak but it was lamb. The menu didn't say lamb steak. She ate it and enjoyed it though. We didn't tell her :-) The kofte kebabs are the best I've eaten anywhere and the salad is fresh and interesting. I can't recommend this place enough. A big meal for 4 with drinks and extras for just over £50. Simply excellent.

I order food from here at least once a month. The food is always delicious, perfectly packaged and the staff is always polite and nice. Highly recommend their wraps

We went there on a friends recommendation and was not disappointed, the food was freshly cooked , the soup they bring you as soon as you sit down was amazing , we had the platter for 2 people and the meat was so tasteful , there was so much of it as well , we will definatly be returning

Such delicious food, fantastic service, made to feel so welcome as soon as we arrived, offered complimentary starter soup and desert!! The meat was fresh and beautifully cooked, very tender, and the service was exceptional. Couldn’t recommend it more. If you want a great and authentic experience, don’t miss it! O and amazing fresh cooked bread!!

Absolutely awful experience, the lamb in my dish was smelt Revolting and as I bit into it I immediately spat it out , vile, such a disappointment I was so looking forward to it Ordered as a home delivery, so not much I could do about it . I had a voucher towards the cost of the order and without that the meal would of been also terribly over priced for the portion given Overall dreadful

Refreshingly interesting and FRESHLY COOKED food. Super service. Plenty of burger and pizza options if you have kids who can't be persuaded to try the many tasty options. Possibly better for meat eaters but I was very happy with my vegetarian option. The others were very pleased with their lamb and burgers. Pleasantly lively child's birthday party going on at lunchtime. Easy car parking over the road. Five minutes away from the overpriced and samey tourist spots. The kind of place that makes you feel they are genuinely pleased to see you. Thanks.

Outstanding value for money. The food was brilliant and inexpensive. Portions are big and everything is fresh and tasty. The bread is massive. The staff are lovely and really welcoming. I'll definitely be back. The lamb kofte was amazing.

My partner and I have visited this restaurant 5 times in a month! Absolutely love the menu, the staff and the food. It is not your typical kebab restaurant as they offer a wide variety of food, all freshly cooked and the flavours are amazing. We specifically love the Naan bread, we smashed 4 in one sitting one time. Definitely will be our local favourite rest to visit! Love you guys! Well done! 🌟

Deliveroo order today. Lovely fresh food. Really great flavours, generous portions. Had Maze and Greek salad Chicken Shish wrap and Lamb Shawarma. All gorgeous !!

A new place, but a warm welcome from friendly staff and comfortable seats. The menu was varied and we all tried different dishes. They were cooked fresh so a 15 minute wait, but the obligatory soup arrived immediately. The food was plentiful and delicious. Definitely a hit, we will be back again. The restaurant was also clean and sanitising is good here. Good for families as well as takeout. The bill was not expensive, I think their prices are pitched just right. Highly Recommended 😁

Absolutely delicious food and very friendly service! The staff bend over backwards to help! Beautiful decor. You know its going to be good when the waitress advises you that you may want to choose a bigger table as the portions are big! Great value for money!!

A lovely full flavour lamb soup. Tasheed Lamb main course again ample portion nicely flavoured. Baklava was ok. Service was very good and it was good value for a low cost. If there was a downside then it was they do not sell alcohol to have with the food but that is not too much of an issue.

Came here this evening manager very friendly All staff had great customer service the food is Fresh and big portions , will definitely be coming back again one of the best Turkish I Have tried in the uk

Very nice, fresh and tasty, all freshly cooked would definitely recommended and will definitely be returning!

Came in late afternoon in second week. Steady stream of customers calling to collect food. The place is one big room on the ground floor with an open servers. There is another room upstairs which needs further work before a ‘dessert parlour’ will open. The...
