Lavashawarma is absolutely excellent! 🌟 From start to finish, everything was perfect — the food is delicious and fresh, the staff are so kind and helpful, and the manager goes above and beyond to make sure customers are happy. The delivery was also fast and professional. Honestly, every detail shows how much they care about their customers. Highly recommended!

Went for Lunch on a Saturday. Got the Lamb and Beef over rice. Take note the Lamb and Beef are mixed in together and cannot be separated. Comes with rice, salad, white sauce hot sauce. Total came out to be around $19 and change. Quite steep for a lamb over rice but it's Manhattan and they have a real shop and ingredients are better. Overall, not a bad place to eat once in a while or if you're craving some Shwarma.

Excellent food, well balanced in compliance with dietary requirements ...ie protein, carbohydrates and freshly prepared vegetables. Additionally food is tasty, nicely presented and the atmosphere friendly with excellent service. To top it all, customers are given samples of a hot aromatic Middle Eastern Spice tea which was the deciding factor for my initial visit.
