Shawarma King Legacy
There’s something so satisfying about digging into a fresh shawarma. Freshly roasted meat (or falafel for our vegetarian friends) shaved into a pita wrap with crunchy vegetables and that distinct sweet sauce to finish it off. Stop by this Middle Eastern restaurant and try one for yourself to see what we mean. Top it off with a crunchy, sweet baklava and you might have the perfect post bike ride meal.
