Worse tasting Shawarma I ever had

On my way home, I decided to pass along Al-Nasser St to get myself a delicious shawarma. It led me to an Arabic Resto --- can't read the name cuz it's in written in Arabic, store is located opposite Dominoes Pizza --- but the telephone number is clearly posted in their signage 4324622 --- i swear i will never buy their shawarma again. The taste really sucks.

Sorry you had bad taste there.if you really want to tast shawarma then go to Sharq Village hotel. you will have a nice Sahwarma with french fries. i am sure you never had tasty shawarma like Shaq Village in Al liwan or Al JAlsa Or Al Wanis. and if you are lucky and Al Seef BBQ is open not due to weather then Tast Yummy BBQ with Shawarma.just try once and you will go always

i am not lebanese but i like their shawarma in Matar-Qadeem. Big chunks of chicken/beef with white sauce. Cut directly from the hanging meat then straight in to the kabush. no more cutting into small pieces of the meat. very good serving, small but very good for me. only 6 QRs each.

But yeah, I went to Jordan to get my degree, that's how I ended up there.

A_Prodigy,

Are you actually from Papua New Guinea?!

How did you get in Jordan...? LOL

I am half Jordanian - half Spanish and have both nationalities, so you can guess why I am confirming the facts... :)

LOL sure chevy I am down!

Preferably not today though coz it's my little sister's birthday.

Sefri I lived 5 years in Jordan so yeah I totally agree with you, the Shawarama, Fatayer, Waraq dawali, Mezzeh and all the other delicacies I can go on for days, good food, good people, good times! :)

Many claim that Shawarma originated from them, such as the Turkish, the Lebanese, the Syrian and the Jordanians.

But I can assure you that no one makes them better than the Jordanians.

100% True Fact...!

In Jordan, you may find a Shawerma place every 500 meters!

after that "proper toilet whatever" thread... makes you wonder what you are really getting from them.

With all due respect, all Shawarma's here in Doha don't taste that good.

I say this out of experience because I have tasted them in Jordan, Syria and Lebanon and sometimes at some average rated restaurants and they were sooooooooooooooooo Goooooooooooooooooooooooood!!!

No comparison with here at all..
