Shawarma in Nice, cooked on the spit

We make our shawarma the way we always have, since 2001. Beef and lamb, marinated overnight in a blend of seven spices, then stacked on the vertical rotisserie. The meat cooks slowly, turning in front of the flame, and we carve it as the orders come in. Nothing prepared ahead, nothing hidden. It's a family recipe, passed down by Jean and Josiane, who opened the restaurant on rue Pastorelli. Halal, homemade, no shortcuts.

Two ways to eat it. On a plate, with the carved meat, fresh raw vegetables and our homemade sauces. As a sandwich, rolled in Lebanese bread, filled at the counter in front of you. We make the sauces ourselves: the garlic whipped by hand, the tahini prepared fresh each day. The real taste comes from there, from what we take the time to do by hand. We peel, we chop, we season. A Lebanese shawarma, the way we've served it for more than twenty years.

You'll find us at 7 rue Pastorelli, right in the centre of Nice, near Jean Médecin. Around twenty seats, a family feel, open Monday to Saturday from 11am to 11pm. If you'd rather eat at home, that works too: takeaway at the counter, or delivery in Nice through Deliveroo, Uber Eats and commandes.saydawi.fr. One call to 04 93 13 93 81 is enough to book or order. The shawarma is waiting for you, hot, carved to order.
