About Shawarma King

Middle Eastern takeaway specialising in Shawarma. All Shawarma’s and sauces made in house and freshly baked naan for every order!

Shawarma King Description

Welcome to HAJAR'S SHAWARMA KING, founded and operated by international chef Hajar Salih. We are masters of Persian and middle eastern cuisine and are proud runners up in Glasgow Live’s ‘Best Kebab in Glasgow’ awards!

Working as a professional chef in both Damascus and Lebanon, Hajar is passionate about fresh, authentic Persian cuisine. He struggled to find the food he loved in Glasgow and so, Hajar’s Shawarma King was born!

The story began with a small unit under the railway arches on King Street in the city centre. Originally a barber shop, it was a real challenge to fit everything we needed into such a small unit. Hajar and his team worked tirelessly to transform the unit into the thriving business it is today.

The key thing for us at Shawarma King is fresh food, quality ingredients and lots of flavour! We build our mighty Shawarma kebabs daily in house, make our own hummus, garlic sauce and naan breads and strive to deliver an unforgettable meal experience each and every time.

The city centre is now very established, and we present our Paisley store.

Hajar says - ‘’ Now that we are busy in the city centre and have lots of loyal customers we want to bring some fresh, authentic and beautiful food to the lovely people of Paisley”

Thank you to The Herald for their great review!!!
THERE’S a bit of joshing going on at the counter behind me and I listen as I sit on a plastic chair and stare otherwise idly out upon the splendours of an overcast King Street car park. http://www.heraldscotland.com/…/1615614 6.A_gem_under_a_ra…/…

Went to the Glasgow City Centre branch tonight for a takeaway change after seeing a write up about it on Glasgow Live. Firstly, turns out I've driven past it numerous times and didn't know anything about it! Secondly, the man who was the chef (don't know if he owns it or not but no matter the chef he was) was so personable with us. He could tell with the way we were looking and talking about the menu that it was our first time in the takeaway and he was great in talking through things with us and spoke about what his favourite was - sounded delish so we went with that; 2 chicken shawarma, 1 regular, 1 large. When we went in there was one other person in it but about 2 mins later the place was full to bursting! (think we were just lucky when we went in). This didn't phase the chef one bit and he even gave us a burger box with plain chicken meat for our wee boy to try on one side and on the other there was lamb meat and chicken meat with 2 sauces on it for us to try. Honestly nice touch was this! Have to say at this point we'd scoffed the lot of the taster meat and were eager to get tucked into our order and we honestly didn't have long to wait, just a few mins. And finally thirdly, even though I've already kinda gave the game away with talking about the chicken and lamb we were given to try, the food is simply flavourful, unpretentious and 1st class. It's like no other kebab we've tasted and I think it may have ruined kebabs locally for me as I'll constantly compare them to this. If I could I'd give this place 6 stars. Thank you Shawarma, will be back again! :-)

Went in last Friday night to new Paisley shop. Had lamb shawarma, baba ghanoush, Hummous with Lamb. It was freshly made and all of it was authentic and tasty.



Popped in tonight again after phoning in my order. Went for BBQ chicken starter, lamb fillet wrap and a Kurdish Kebab main meal. Absolutely delicious and massive portions. The guys put in all sorts of salad and accompiaments .



This place is busy just now, wait to see it when word spreads. I mean, you will not be disappointed. Food, staff, cleanliness of shop. Outstanding.

User

Went in for my Tea ( Paisley) as Wife is out and had the mixed Shawarma Chicken and Lamb Main meal , superb first class I will be back to try other things ...well done guys :)

User

Visited their new Paisley branch last night, really nice new shop, a lot more spacious. There's a new menu and deliveries starting within 2 weeks as well. A real taste of the Middle East. A must try if you're in the area.

User

Took our kids there yesterday after discovering Shawarma King on a night out - think we have just created the next generation of Shawarma King superfans! Totally awesome food and a lovely owner.

User

Shawarma is out of this world - I could eat it every day and wouldn't get fed up. Best thing about this place is the staff. A very sound bunch of people who treat you like a friend rather than a "customer number..." Just about to eat a lamb shawarma and some falafel.

Thanks guys, keep it up!

User

Omg.. just had a chicken shawarma... beautiful cant beleive ive just tried this place .. already got my next lunch picked... better buy so elasticated work clothes at this rate ��



If you havent tried this ... defo give it a bash ..

User

User

User

First visit last night. Chicken Shawarma was so nice. Lovely choice of salad and sauce. Quality and price were excellent. We'll definitely visit again. We even got a wee try of the hummus which was a nice touch. Thanks

User

Excellent food from the Paisley store, it’s now our go-to for takeaway food and beats the rest of the takeaways hands down. Love the wraps and salads, always freshly made and tasty!

User

Even despite my anti monarchist stance, I herald you as my king, my one true Shawarma king.

User

Delicious middle eastern food; fresh ingredients; good vegetarian options. Friendly service; favourite place for takeaway food in Paisley :-)

User

Absolutely brilliant. Came here for the first time last week; had a mixed shawarma and it was something else. I'll definitely be back, and very soon.

User

1st time in this takeaway as recommended by work mate, all i can say is "dam" by far the best mixed kebab i have ever had and ive had a few lol, amazing food defo be back next time am in Glasgow.

User

Amazing food! they even do pickled red cabbage with their kebab salad which is a bonus in Scotland but the norm in the rest of the UK.



Only suggestion is would be nice if they also did the regular kebab meat most places do aswell as the Shawarma Meat.

The chilli sauce is really good too!

User

Shawarma taste was ok-ish,nothing special but unfortunately me and my wife had a bad stomach after 2 hours. Thats a real problem.

User

Ordered from the store in paisley last night 2 mixed kebabs a mixed pakora a bottle of 7up took half an hour before food was ready at the cost of £30 .. pakora was the worst I've had from anywhere overcooked and burnt. Would avoid this place in the future
