Spoken like a true A-Rab! I miss KSA shawarma. I've tried soooo many places (even Babagoosh) but they all suck.Pakistani variant of the Arabic shawarma is an abomination, an atrocity, an obscenity , an *insert another synonym for "disgusting"*. What's copious amounts of ketchup, hot sauce, spices and cooked salad doing in a shawarma bread that barely manages to wrap around the filling? Name it something else assh**es!
An authentic shawarma is supposed to only have the following ingredients:
- Unflavoured Meat strips cooked on a vertical spit
- Shawarma bread
- Pickles
- Mayonnaise
- Zero spices
So my question is, where can I find a shawarma that conforms to the above mentioned conditions? Anywhere in Pakistan would do. I only know of LUMS PDC which makes this and I miss it dearly.
Bit Disappointment will be an understatement for me.So, I gave another try and was a bit disappointed. It was a little spicy and had no fries. The reason was that the Lebanese chef Maan Jabar wasn't there at that moment. I complained it to him as soon as he got back. He said mention it next time that you don't want spicy and want fries in them. Keep that in mind when you give a visit. @LordIT @Mephisto

The same people run both places.Cafe Beirut is overrated . i have been searching for authentic shawarma for a very long time and the closest is the one available at La'auberge Falletis hotel although its a lil pricey at 800rs. i thought maybe i could get the same at cafe beirut at cheaper but i was wrong tried it twice and both time chicken was spicy and bread wasnt fresh.
Damn!! Oh boy I really wanna try this so bad. I've been waiting for so long to get my hands on a good arab shawarma!, 3 months & 11 days to be preciseGuys guys guys! Our real authentic shawerma hunt is over. I can't believe that I just had a true shawerma just an hour ago. This place is called Cafe Beirut opposite to pizza hut and just below GNC, MM Alam road. As soon as I entered, I had sniffed the essence of good shawerma. Saw fat dripping off the grill. My hopes shot to the roof that moment. I ordered hummus, sultani, tea, felafel platter and shawerma. I had hummus which was great, even better than most from most restaurants in Saudi Arabia. Then felafel, it was great. That was the moment my legs got shaky in excitement. I saved the best for the last. The shawerma is the only authentic shawerma in Pakistan right now!!! It had that tangy feel (lemony taste in the chicken) black pepper and it was exactly like one of the best restaurant in Riyadh called Mc'Coys, I'd say it was even better. The garlic sauce was so great, really authentic. Made fresh it wasn't the artificial garlic mayo we get in many restaurants. It had fries, pickles, tomato in it and had that thin bread. The guy is Lebanese who is basically running the restaurant. I talked a bit with him. He used to work in Jeddah. He had spent 6 years there working somewhere near tahlia street and also worked for some binzager family or I dunno what was the name. This guy is a life saver. I'm never ever going to try any "shoe-waaarma" from now on.

Tried Shawermer in Saudi Arabia. It was good but not as great as Mc'Coys.Damn!! Oh boy I really wanna try this so bad. I've been waiting for so long to get my hands on a good arab shawarma!, 3 months & 11 days to be precise
My part of the story..
So I tried this Shawarma at Al Arab, at the continental bakery recommended by someone on PG, which was extremely ridiculous. I didn't like it at all. In fact, they just had mexican one and the beef. And also Billions of variants listed on the menu. WORST SHAWARMA EVER!
Btw, did you try Shawarmer?
Uha, we don't have Mc'Coys in Khobar so don't know of it and Hmm I'd if I ever visit LahoreTried Shawermer in Saudi Arabia. It was good but not as great as Mc'Coys.
Oh just make sure whenever you go to cafe Beirut tell them to add fries and don't make it spicy.
Wow falafel, my gosh! That's one of my favorite middle east foodGuys guys guys! Our real authentic shawerma hunt is over. I can't believe that I just had a true shawerma just an hour ago.

Is this a must-try food speciality?They, Mashawi, have the most authentic and tasty shawarma than any other in Karachi. I was literally shocked myself to experience the taste that they replicated here.
Beats all those garbage and tasteless shawarmas of Damascus, Al Arab, and King Shawarma.

why you are paying american rates in Pakistan. Search cheaper region like Turkey. 13k for 13 months. Ms does not careShadowdragoo said:no idea how that is a steal by wasting 3500 rupees per month and for games that are removed before you can finish them off.xbox gamepass is garbage with no local prices
There are no such thing as "bad design" bro, its all "artistic vision" nowEternalBlizzard said:Is it just me or people lately seem to defend every bad game design decision made by the devs and try to give bullshit reasons for that? Or perhaps it's because I'm on reddit and discord
