Had an awesome lunch today at the schwarma company. The best schwarma's in Gauteng. Wide selection of veg, salad and dips. Slap chips among the best we've eaten

I believe everyone deserves a second opportunity. Last order from this restaurant took an hour and a half to arrive and my order today had 2 main course items missing for a family of 4 . Definitely worth a miss if you not keen on...overpriced soggy & cold food. Cheers Shwarma coMore

We visited as a large family group, so I got to see a variety of meals. The salads were fresh and tasty, and the schwarmas were generous. Probably the best I have eaten. It is well worth a return visit. Good value for money. The...parking in Norwood can be difficult during busy times.More

The salad bar is better than most and the Schwarmas are more akin to what you would find in Europe. The fillet Schwarma was great, the chicken was a bit dry, but still pretty good overall.

We came here with family and many family members insist on getting schwarma here every time we are in Joburg! There are other options on the menu if you aren't into schwarma that are pretty delicious as well. The staff are very friendly and accommodating....Highly recommend!More

What a delightful place! The seasoning for the beef in my shawarma was authentic. The "salads" were fresh, service was great, and the place itself was a breath of fresh air.

I ordered the rack of ribs which tasted like that of the precooked sold at PNP (Pick n Pay). The meat was larded with sauce and the meat bland. The customer service was however great and attention to detail; very approachable

Dinner yesterday was one of the best. My wife being vegan and glutenfree, whilst I am carnivore often creates a problem in finding the right restaurant. Not so here ! She had a vegan wrap with choices of filling, I had the " small "...portion of ribs and it was delicious. Served quickly and with a lot of smiles we enjoyed this no end . Will be back in the next 10 days we are staying in NorwoodMore
