The counter: backlit menu boards for sides, falafel, pizzas, grill, platters and wraps under a banner reading 'Welcome to Leith Shawarma', with 'Delicious, Homemade — Shawarma, Kebabs, Tandoori' on the corner and maroon tiles behind.

Proper shawarma, late.

The meat. Well-seasoned, tender shawarma, with lamb, chicken and mixed all getting a mention.

02

The bread. Wraps in fresh bread, and falafel and shish that people rate.

03

The welcome. Friendly, quick service, even late at night.
