Above average kabob for New Zealand! I ordered a spicy chicken shawarma combo (which includes fries and a drink). The fries and the special sauce on the fries were superb. The kabob was decently spicy and flavourful. I would def recommend stopping by. Particularly if you've just sampled the Wellington nightlife

The chicken schwarmas are the best in Wellington. Delicious spicy fries too. Fast and friendly service. Highly recommended.

Delicious, authentic shawarma that comes in a light, fluffy-style bread that's quite unlike the usual flat bread that most kebab shops use. The shop is small, but has a real street-food aesthetic and vibe. It will be busy on a Friday or Saturday night, but it's perfect after (or during) a big night out

This place is the best! The food is next level Egyptian food. I've been quite a few times and never have been disappointed yet. Check this place out. The Prawn shawarma is where it's at.
