Allo Beirut
If you feel nostalgic about the smells and flavors of Lebanese street food, then you should try Allo Beirut shawarma.
They serve fresh, juicy charcoaled chicken shawarma in saj Lebanese bread. The bread is fresh, and the garlic sauce is quite delicious.

Zaroob
The Impossible Shawarma
Zaroob knows that craving can hit you at any time. Therefore, they offer a 24\7 service at their Jumeirah tower branch to satisfy your shawarma cravings at any time of the day.
They offer a cool thing called the impossible shawarma, and they call it impossible as it is 100% plant-based.
Chicken shawarma hummus at Zaroob is a meal by itself, the shredded part of the shawarma is seasoned well, and this item is a great alternative to the classic shawarma. Also, their menu includes both wraps & platters along with much other tasty stuff that comes at very reasonable prices.
They have been serving shawarma in Dubai for 10 years, and their shawarma is 10\10 or “3ashra 3ala 3ashra!” as they say.

Al Mandaloun
If you are looking for one of the best shawarma restaurants that serve good shawarma and have a whimsical view at the same time, then Al Mandaloun is highly recommended.
The restaurant offers mixed shawarma platters that are accompanied by warm pita bread, pickles, and two different sauces for dipping.
The portion size is huge, and the platter is divided into two halves to serve chicken and beef shawarma. The meat was juicy, moist, and delicious, and the chicken was divine.

Operation Falafel
Their name might deliver a wrong perception about the restaurant, and you might believe that it offers Falafel only. But, on the contrary, they offer the best freshly baked saj chicken shawarma in Dubai.
Operation Falafel will make you experience the street food experience mixed with fresh ingredients and balanced flavors.
We can say that Operation Falafel is one of the best places to visit in Dubai to have falafel and shawarma.
For us, our top pick item is the beef shawarma saj plate.

Belad Al Sham
Best Affordable Shawarma in Dubai
We reached this restaurant through google maps. It is a small place that doesn’t look fancy at all. But, we didn’t judge the book by its cover and decided to try it.
And surprisingly we found it yummy! Shawarma is covered in thin bread that is extra crispy as it is grilled. The filling from chicken is juicy, tasty, and with the right amount of ingredients.
The food is not heavy at all and is also light on your wallet

Bebabel
We don’t always find the opportunity to enjoy a bite of shawarma and enjoy a concert or have a view on-site while eating except at Bebabel.
This traditional Lebanese cuisine is so generous with its portions, the food is value for money, and their service is excellent.
They have concerts both on the terrace and inside the restaurant to make your dining experience memorable.
The outside terrace is mode-alleviating, and the view from the balcony is enchanting. Imagine eating your Shawarma with the Dubai fountain and the Burj at your site so sensational.
Bebabel restaurant has many merits.
You can enjoy dinner there with your family and kids, and the lovely ambiance and magnificent view work best for a romantic dinner.
We liked many items from Babel’s menu, but the best are falafel, chicken livers, and hummus shawarma.

Al Ijaza Cafeteria
Once a Shawarma craving hits, nothing can be done but satisfy it.
And when it comes to having the fastest shawarma in Dubai Al Ijaza Cafeteria is your superhero.
Old but gold
They opened 15 years ago, and during this, they managed to maintain their taste standards, professionalism, and fast service.
They are a fast food place, but they changed our opinion about street food because of their tasty food and vast menu.
Their menu suits many tastes because it contains various items Shawarma, burgers, cocktails, milkshakes, and fresh juices.
Their prices are wallet-friendly, and the quality of the food is superb.
Al Ijaza Cafeteria is our favorite quick visit and takeaway spot, especially when we are roaming on Jumeirah road. The only problem is that the parking nearby is always full during peak time, but if you don’t mind walking for 5 mins and parking near the beach, then the problem is solved.
If you have a space in your stomach after eating Shawarma, try their Hassan Mathar (a sandwich stuffed with chicken, cheese, and fries on flat-grilled bread).
