    Nothing fancy, but perhaps the best classic Shawarma in all Israel. Stand on the street and enjoy the classic Israeli experience until the juices run down your elbows. ☺️😋👍

    This place is small and intimate, and there is almost always a line. Prices are a bit high for such a small dish, but it's one of the best places to have shawarma in Haifa, and maybe in Israel. Staff is helpful and friendly, and the food is very good and delicious. Recommended!

    Very much overrated, maybe a good shawerma in haifa, but can’t be compared to other cities, too expensive for a relatively small and not perfect shawerma . Also, he didn’t even add Th’enia.

    Best shawarma I had in Israel. Sticking to the basics so don't expect many extras. Quality meat and fresh vegetables. Very good!

    Location is next to Roundabout and there is a lot of people in line for the shawarma. The atmosphere is like a advanced food stall. Kebabs 🥙 are 40NIS and drinks 10NIS Is it the best Shawarma I have ever had? Not in the world but definitely in my time in Israel. The pita is on the small side compared to others I’ve tried. You get options of spicy, mid and tahini sauce at each table. So you spice up your own dish. I even got a extra pita bread 🫓 for my daughter on the house. Definitely worth a try and this would taste even more comforting outside of summer aka the hot oven season. Ventilation inside the restaurant is fantastic, outside is challenging 🔥 Looking forward to try this again 🥙😁

    One of the best shawarma in haif, But we had bad experience cause of rush hour. People past us and we got service really slow. The shawarma is delicious and really good. But the amount is small. Great shwarama on taste. One of the best shwarama on the city worth the wait !

    Best schawarma in Israel! You can choose either sheep or lamb meat. I ate the lamb and it was juicy and fantastic. The pita and tomatoes were also great. Prices are a bit lower than most schawarmas I've eaten. Biggest disadvantages are the hours, closing at 4:00 pm, and the place being cash only

  • 3/5 sigal f. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was fine, I was a bit disappointed with it after hearing so much, so it was not worth the hype, in my opinion. And it was extremely expensive for the quantity I got.

    The owner is lovely, but the shawarma is honestly just ok. Maybe I heard too much hype. Note that they only accept cash, so come prepared.

    The best shawarma restaurant in Israel, the recipe, is simple, delicious, and tasty. The pitta is soft, the meat is moisture, and there is no need for more. The price is average for fast food.

    The best Shawarma in town Clean Large A bit problamtic parking issue but it worth searching for a place to park your car. Nice fresh pickles Great lamb Shawarma A hot spicy sauce to cover a pita of Shawarma. Medium prices but it worth it.

  • 4/5 uboa a. 2 years ago on Google
    First of all there is a line under the sun! Shawarma itself is pretty good with classic filling of tomatoes, onion and celantro. Pita is on the smaller side. Price is 35nis and 20nis for half pita. I didnt find it being the tastiest in haifa but its good

  • 5/5 Anton 1 year ago on Google
    This is home, this is love. The best shawarma you can get.

  • 5/5 Natan & Yael D. 9 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    The best shawarma ever. Should get 3 Michelin Stars, "exceptional cuisine that is worth a special journey.”.

  • 5/5 Hend Abu A. 2 years ago on Google
    Any Shawarma that you ate before is nothing, after trying Emil's 😋 This place is so damn sure of how delicious the meat they have, that they don't add anything more than tomatoes, onions, and parsley to the Shawarma sandwich! Traditional is the way of deliciousness!!

  • 5/5 yon c. 2 years ago on Google
    Different than your standard Shawarma - in a pita bread with very few additions. Wonderful.

  • 5/5 Yuval A. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Shawarma in Israel.

  • 5/5 Simone L. 11 months ago on Google
    Great shawarma . Not a lot of toppings and only one kind of meat but they prepare it so well🤤

  • 3/5 Yakir B. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best you can find in Haifa. The main drawback for me is that they only have very small pitas, and they are quite costly considering their size (40 ILS each).

  • 5/5 Mark K. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best shawarmas in Haifa, so it's one of the best in Israel too. You don't have salads and staff to choose ehat you want inside, but you get a freash and soft pita, with a wonderful meat, and some vegetables. It's a different experience from every other shawarma that i taste, when you get a bite, the meat is just melting in your mouth, and it so tasty.

  • 4/5 Adi R. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing Shawarma, one of the best in Israel for sure. The main reason I gave it 4 starts instead of 5 is the really low capacity they have to seat in the place and for the long line.

  • 5/5 Adel W. 1 year ago on Google
    The best shawarma in Israel, no doubt. It's so tasty and the service is good. Overall, it's a great place for shawarma.

  • 2/5 Hayal F. 1 year ago on Google
    Quite a disappointment!! Its contrary of the reputation. There are much better places in Israel for delicious and good quality of street food but this is the one which we will never go!! Its very dry schawarma no nice side dish, nothing and you will be schocked about what price they are charging. Additional to this dont touch anywhere its so dirty!!

  • 3/5 Shay A. 1 year ago on Google
    Shawrma is fine, I've had better. Had high expectations because of other reviewers. Meals are expansive compared to competitors a walk away. Shwarma in pita is 40 shekels and shwarma on a plate is 80 shekels.

  • 5/5 Bader A. 2 years ago on Google
    Best shawarma in Haifa! The reviews hold up here. Really delicious!!

  • 1/5 Lara “Wonder & W. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food but expect to pay three times the price if you’re a foreigner/ speaks English

  • 1/5 Oded P. 1 year ago on Google
    The shawarma was dry, there were no salads to put in the pita and the service was lousy. I'd never go there again. I suggest you don't either!

  • 5/5 Roy S. 2 years ago on Google
    This is the best shawarma I have ever had
