El Shawarma: Un Sabor Único
El plato estrella del Cocinero de Damasco es el shawarma hecho con carne de pavo marinada en una mezcla secreta de especias y cocinada lentamente en un trompo vertical. Los comensales alaban la jugosidad, el punto justo de cocción y los sutiles toques de canela que lo hacen único. También ofrecen deliciosos falafelcaseros, considerados los mejores de la ciudad por su textura crujiente por fuera y jugosa por dentro y también el Hummus.

El cuiner de damasc: La espera que Vale la Pena
Hay que tener paciencia porque cada shawarma se cocina al momento y todo se elabora a la vista de los comensales. Pero la espera, por larga que sea, siempre vale la pena según coinciden los visitantes. Probar la auténtica cocina árabe en un entorno tan singular no tiene precio.

We ate a full spicy shawarma, the flavor was good, but for me the meat is a bit splintery. The spiciness is quite high but rich.The hummus was good too.
The owner was smoking, then proceeded to prepare the food without washing his hand, disgusting. I ordered the falafel sandwich its was average. The falafel balls were made before and they didn’t even bother to reheat it, the sandwich was mostly lettuce. For the size and content of the sandwich I do not recommend at all.
It is the best of all, I have never tried anything better in my life. It's finger-lickin' good. And the boss is super friendly, and thanks to him, my sister liked itthe shawarma.
It is a very familiar place with many years in the neighborhood, the owner is older, Syrian and charming. They make 4 things but very well made and homemade, you can eat in or take away, pay attention to their schedules. recommendable
Today I went to try these famous Shawarmas, and they well deserve the fame.Plus the super friendly owners.The waiting was worth it.Highly recommended place, good quality and everything clean, even though it is an old place.I will repeat without a doubt.Thank you 🙂
The food is good, but wouldn’t wait so long again for it. Also the guy preparing was rude, he called my friend fat more than once during the 2 min conversation we had. She was really upset and we were surprised because many reviews mentioned how “nice” the staff was. Wouldn’t recommend…
The special shawarma (meat) is the best I have eaten to date in Barcelona. If there is a long line you may have to wait 30 minutes. We had to wait 1 hour because someone ordered shawarmas for an entire birthday beforehand. I didn't like that at 2:30pm they close the windows and that the preparer is talking over the ingredients all the time.
Simply the best kebab in Spain. The food is simply spectacular and is very varied, the quality of the food is impeccable. The service is fast and easy, it's very nice to order as they are hyper respectful. The place is very authentic and beautiful, you feel in Türkiye thanks to its architecture and details. Just looking at the exterior you can already see the magnificent quality of this business.
The food and the attention of the people are excellent, they make you feel comfortable and they cook very deliciously and at the same time, the place is beautiful but kind of dark with everything closed, it would be very beautiful if they let the light in.
The Shawarma is delicious, the falafel: the best I have ever eaten and the service has been excellent, especially Salem.I recommend trying the cupcakes and especially the coconut one with cashews.Essential visit in Barcelona.
I had been wanting to try this place, since I had heard that it was the best shawarma in Barcelona.My experience was bittersweet…When I arrived (2:45 pm) there were about 12 people in line to order (2 inside the restaurant and 10 outside), so it took me 1 hour and 10 minutes to wait for my turn…The service is very very slow, there were only 2 people serving; At least what's slow about them is that they're friendly because the service is very close and they were very friendly, but I didn't really want to go back, there is no food worth 1 hour of waiting in a standing line.As for it being the best shawarma... I don't know if it is the best (personally I think not) but I did think it was very very good, the meat was super rich and with a lot of flavor.I don't regret having had the experience of trying it.If I am in the nearby neighborhood and I am passing through and there is no line, then yes I would order, but since there are 5 people in line you already know that you will wait about 30 minutes... and for me that is a pretty bad experience.I gave them 4 stars because it was delicious, good value for money and they were very friendly (but I think that because of the waiting time I should give them 2 stars).
The restaurant is located in the Gothic quarter behind Plaça de Sant Miquel. The menu is very short but the food is very well cooked and with very fresh ingredients. It's very well priced, and the staff couldn't be friendlier. The cook is a philosopher who always has a sentence to make you think. The waiter who is preparing the food is efficient and friendly. Highly recommended!!!
The best shawarma of my life, seriously. Cuisine made with love and with very good quality products. The boss, Saalem, reminds me a little of the idea I have of the wise older Arab man. While I was in line to pay, he started telling stories about the mathematicians of Baghdad back in the day. A very very pleasant experience with incredible food. 100% recommend
The sweet owner salem, will greet you warmly at the window of his shawerma shop, he is full of charachter and so is his veal shawerma sandwich,I would definitely order the hummus and falafel too as a side dish.
More than just a dining experience!It is definitely the best shawarma in town.- Excellent quality- No reservations taken- Delicious shawarma- Exquisite baklavas- Be patient. You’ll probably need to wait in line for 30 mins approximately.- Very friendly staff.- Slightly more expensive than other shawarma places.
Needed a quick place for lunch and this place was extremely close to where I was located. The guy who worked there was very sweet and spoke enough English for me to order. He even gave me a spoonful of hummus while I was waiting in line. He makes each wrap right then and there in front of you. So if there are a lot of people in line in front of you just know its all being made in the moment. So it could take a while. I was lucky to only have three people ahead of me. I ordered a shawarma wrap and hummus. It was delicious and perfect for lunch. I couldn’t finish my whole wrap and hummus. If your a small girl you and definitely share with a friend. They also have falafel for my veggie friends.10/10
Yummy shawarma, very humble staff. Neat, tidy & wide place. Reasonable prices & food is Halal. Sometime you have to wait long for your turn but completely worth it ☺️
Destaca por su shawarma de carne de pavo marinada en especias y cocida lentamente, alabado por su jugosidad y toques de canela, así como por sus falafel caseros y hummus.
