Shawarma Inn
Shawarma Inn — a middle eastern spot in Lincoln Square. Flavors that haven't been adjusted for mass appeal. Knowledgeable staff, so ask for guidance, and open late. "Shish lamb sandwich was good and the meat was tender" — Abdulkader Dadou [$]

“A great place to stop for middle Eastern food up to 1130 at night very accommodating Wirth stopping if you’re hungry”

“Food is absolutely amazing! The chef, Shaol, is so good and always does a good job. There is also a very kind parking lot attendant who brings a kind, social atmosphere to the establishment!”

“Everyone was super nice and the food is so good! I have been coming for years and it’s gotten even better. Price is great and you get a ton of food.”

“This is definitely more of a bang-for-your-buck type of spot. We ordered a large baba ganoush, small hummus, and a mixed shawarma plate with lentil soup. The portions were surprisingly hefty. The shawarma was nicely charred but unfortunately dry and flavorless. The lentil soup, on the other hand, was hearty and delicious. The hummus was addictive: creamy, well-salted, and a good balance between nutty and tangy. The baba ganoush was more on the chunky side than creamy but I liked it. I especially enjoyed its intensely smoky flavor.”
“Filling food, great flavor, the red salsa is spicy but so good”
“The Food here is amazing and so is the costume Service. Everyone is kind and Patient with you no matter the struggle.Its also clean and i enjoyed eating my favorite Food with my favorite people watching the world Cup on the TV”
“perfect place to eat after a super fun night out!!!! amazing dedicated service!!!!!!”
