Shawarma.
Char-grilled in small batches. Seven-spice marinated, sliced fresh to order.
A house staple since 2003. Chicken or beef marinated overnight in our seven-spice blend, char-grilled in small batches, and sliced fresh to order. Served on rice pilaf, in a wrap, or in a bowl.
Every plate of shawarma starts the same way it has since opening day in 2003. Marinated overnight, char-grilled in small batches, sliced fresh to order. Nothing pre-cut and held.
01
Marinated overnight
Whole-muscle chicken thigh and seasoned beef marinated for 12+ hours in our seven-spice blend with garlic, lemon, and olive oil.
02
Char-grilled in small batches
Cooked in small batches on the char-grill so the edges caramelize against the open flame.
03
Sliced to order
Sliced fresh in thin strips when you order, never pre-cut and held. The outer crust goes straight onto your plate.
04
Plated with garlic sauce
Served with rice pilaf or in a wrap, finished with house-made garlic sauce and pita bread.
Open Flame, Small Batches
Why the edges taste like that.
Whole-muscle chicken thigh and beef marinate overnight in our seven-spice blend, then go over an open flame in small batches through the day. Each portion is sliced the moment you order, so the caramelized outer edge goes straight onto the plate while it is still crisp. It is more work, and it is the reason the edges taste the way they do. If you are deciding between the two, our guide to shawarma vs gyro walks through the spices and sauces.
Plate, half & half, or wrap.
The same shawarma, three formats. Order whichever fits the moment.

Frequently Asked
Before you order shawarma.
Six quick answers. For anything else, give us a call at (559) 261-2747.
What kind of shawarma do you serve?
Chicken and beef, both char-grilled and sliced fresh to order. Order it as a plate with rice pilaf, garlic sauce, hummus, and pita bread, as a wrap, or in a bowl. A half-chicken, half-beef plate is there for guests who want both.
How do you cook your shawarma?
Chicken and beef marinate overnight in our seven-spice blend, then char-grill in small batches over an open flame. Each portion is sliced fresh when you order, which is what gives the edges their char.
How is your shawarma seasoned?
A house seven-spice blend of allspice, coriander, cinnamon, cumin, and black pepper, finished with fresh garlic and lemon. Most of our spices are sourced directly from Lebanon, and the recipe hasn't changed since 2003.
What comes on the shawarma plate, and what does it cost?
Plates come with rice pilaf, garlic sauce, hummus, and pita bread. Chicken is $20.99, beef is $22.99, and the half-and-half is $21.99. A shawarma wrap is $13.99, and there's a Chicken Shawarma Bowl at $14.99.
Is shawarma gluten-free, and what about allergens?
The meat itself is made without wheat, but plates come with pita and hummus (made with sesame tahini), and the wrap uses lavash, which contains wheat. Our kitchen handles all major allergens, including sesame, and we can't guarantee any item is free from cross-contact. See our allergen guide and tell your server about any allergy before ordering.
Can I get shawarma for delivery or catering?
Order direct through our website for pickup or delivery across Fresno and into parts of Clovis, with $10 off orders of $50 or more. For groups, there's a Chicken Shawarma Family-Style plate, and shawarma is a staple of our catering spreads.
