Hajar's Shawarma Glasgow 42 Howard Street, Glasgow G1 4EE

"Do not order a kebab here. It was hardly edible. Honestly the worst kebab I've ever had. I ordered a wrap. The bread was no good. The meat was dry. I requested garlic, and chili sauce. And there was hardly anything on there. I felt like I was eating a Chinese egg roll. I was looking forward to having a kebab this evening, this ruined my night. Fix your bread, and your meat, and add sauce when the customer asks."

"I’ve eaten shawarma in different places around the world. This is right up there for me. It’s around the corner from where I am staying so it was the first thing I tried. Wow! I’ve had (shared with a colleague): 1. Lamb Shawarma Wrap (had as a warrany wrap - with chips) 2. Mixed Shawarma Wrap 3. Kofta Mince Kebab Wrap 4. Shish Tawook Wrap 5. Lamb Warrany Box with chips, naan, and garlic sauce I liked the wraps much better than the box I felt the wraps were well balanced in flavour, juicy meat, and just perfect overall. I felt the box was nice (we call them a halal snack pack in Sydney aka HSP for short!) but it wasn’t as good as the Warrany wrap. You can sit at the bench which has 5 chairs if there is space. The service is what I expect in Sydney, Australia. Culturally, some people may not like it but it is what I grew up with and worked in Auburn, Sydney, Australia. When I went back in the second time, the guys behind the counter recognised me and smiled. Each visit was more and more friendlier. Don’t expect restaurant quality service. If I wanted that, I’ll go to a restaurant. I noticed that they would speak to regulars they knew much more relaxed, especially if they spoke their language, than to strangers…like we all do. Some of the reviews about the service might have been bad luck but I had good service. Only 2 guys serving freshly made Shawarma means that when there are orders in front of you, you’ll have to wait. I think it is worth the wait. It seems pricey to me but it’s right in a central location so everything seems pricey to me, especially with the exchange rate. I don’t mind paying for good tasting food. I would like to see the introduction of a meal deal that includes a can of drink - I think that would be popular to be honest (it would be expected back home) but I am not from here so maybe that’s why. At home, this is best eaten late at night and that’s when we got these - for “dinner” or a late night meal. I was happy to see it open late like back home. I hope to return to Glasgow and try some other food but I will include this Shawarma on my lift of places to come back to! Thank you!"

"Amazing food very tasty one of the best shaorma in Scotland"

"Had Mixed Shawarma Warrnay wrap and I would say it was decent. I think it is very expensive at £7.5, I would recommend going for the wrap only at £5.99 if you're not in the mood for fries. Sauces can be asked upon request so I don't know why they highlight Warrnay wrap are served with chips and sauce. Good place for a quick snack."

"Chicken shawarma, fresh salad and real attention to detail. The salad had such a nice dressing and was so fresh. The chicken was good and the service was great"
