Gaza-style shawarma on one side, falafel on the other — Abu Firas & sons since forever.
Ghazzawi runs two counters side by side in Aisha Bakkar: the shawarma shop where the spits turn in the window, and the sister falafel shop next door. It's one of the oldest shawarma addresses in the area — Gaza-style, carved in front of you, managed by Abu Firas and his sons with the patience of people who've done this their whole lives.
Meat and chicken stacked and turning — carved the moment you order.
Thin bread, hard sear, no shortcuts — the style that named the shop.
Next door, same family: 'the best falafel in town — ask them to fry it instantly.'
The best falafel in town. But always ask them to fry the falafel instantly. Also excellent customer service.
Next door is a sister shop serving falafel. The one on the right serves shawarma.
