The flavors of Syria, made in Reykjavík

Why It Tastes Like Damascus
We keep it the way it's done back home: quality meat marinated overnight in our own spice blends, vegetables prepped fresh every morning, bread warmed to order, and sauces made in-house. The shawarma turns slowly all day — carved only when you order.
