Falafel & Shawarma London - (Near Southwark, South East)

5 /5 Rimon Ahmed: Back in August a work colleague said one lunchtime "boys let me take you to a place for some good lunch for the price of a meal deal". So we went to Falafel & Shawarma! It is a nice spacious simple looking shop, queue up on the right to order, then move over to the left to pay for and pickup up your order. There is long sitting wall benches on either side of the shop where you can sit in and eat, but when the shop is busy you will be sitting along side both queues. The staff were very friendly and professional. The gentleman who takes your order is always lively and having a laugh with customers as hes taking the orders and preparing the orders. Theyre always giving out samples of their side food items especially their roasted spice potatoes which are really nice. We each ordered their chicken shawarma wrap and their own made lemonade drink. The chicken filling tasted really good had that nice spiced marinated tase and the meat came out soft. They top the filling with a choice of garlic and/or chilli sauce which isnt all that spicy in all honesty but does give that nice taste to it all. The lemonade nicely compliments the chicken shawarma. We went again yesterday and this time I ordered their falafel wrap and that was equally as good! Also this time I ordered a portion of their 4 lamb sambusaks, which is like Indian samosas but made without the Indian spices. I liked them (being a bengali person) as they had the natural cooked lamb taste and had a slight taste of some cooking spices. For £4.50 the shawarma wraps they serve up interms of taste and how big it is, I have seen other places charge around £9! The side items like the Sambusak was £2.50 and again worth the price! Highly recommended place to go for lunch, you wont be disappointed!!

5 /5 Jerry: If you’ve never been to Camberwell before, this place is the reason to go. This place hands down does the best shawarma in London, without breaking the bank. Have been here dozens of times and every time it’s fun to try something different. The wraps are about the size of my forearm and are packed with chicken, fresh crunchy salad, the smoothest hummus you’ll ever have, and if they ask you “chilli and garlic sauce?” Just say yes. Any combination wrap will spark joy - falafel and chicken, chicken and aubergine (but careful eating this as it’s a bit saucier) and chicken and spicy potato. One wrap is enough for each person but I could put down two easily on some days. If you want something a bit different or are hungrier, get a mixed mezze box with chicken. There is so much variety in textures and tastes, it’s actually so much fun to eat. Their aubergine is like vegetable crack. Service is friendly and efficient, even when the line gets super long. Make sure to order on the right side, and then pick up on the left side! Most people takeaway but there are some benches (but no tables) where you can eat inside. Lots of delivery drivers eat here too - so you know it’s that good. Please never change, so I can continue consuming an ungodly amount of shawarma.

4 /5 Cleo Amelia: The food is good, flavoursome and portion sizes are decent for the price you pay. No criticisms there. The wait time is usually a little long, 5/10minutes or so. There is no where to properly sit, and it’s best suited to those who wish to take their food away. Unfortunately, on my most recent visit, my food wasn’t packaged correctly and leaked out of the bag on my short walk home.

5 /5 Grace M: My favourite falafel in London! The staff are super friendly even when it’s busy. The portions are generous with good quality food at great value. The chicken is delicious too and not greasy.

3 /5 Sara: Quick and friendly service. The falafel wrap was tasty, good for the value. The chicken had a weird taste to it. For a quick affordable eat then definitely worth it.
