Editorial picks

Selected from published food guides and local reporting. How the list works

  1. Number 1.Al-Bake

    New Friends Colony Community Centre South Delhi

    Open
    11am to 11pm, daily
    Where
    Trimurti Building, Shop 21-23, Maulana Mohammad Ali Jauhar Marg, Block A, Community Centre, New Friends Colony, New Delhi 110025

    Ask for the chicken shawarma plate, two rolls with the yoghurt dip, and leave the Mughlai mains alone. Several Al-Bake outlets trade nearby, so confirm you are at the Community Centre original before ordering.

  2. Number 2.Concept Shawarma

    Defence Colony flyover market, on the Lajpat Nagar I side South Delhi

    Open
    11.30am to midnight, daily
    Where
    142, Defence Colony Flyover Market, Block C, Lajpat Nagar I, New Delhi 110024 (Zomato lists the same shop as 43-45, Flyover Market)

    Order the chicken shawarma and ignore the tandoori momos, which are a sideline. Listings give the address two ways, so look for shops 43 to 45 in the Defence Colony flyover market.

  3. Number 3.Kapoor's Balle Balle

    Brahmaputra (BP) Market, Sector 29, Noida Noida

    Open
    11am to 11pm, daily
    Where
    K-2, Brahmaputra Shopping Complex (BP Market), Sector 29, Noida 201301 (Justdial gives the pincode as 201303)

    Chicken shawarma first, with the tawa chicken alongside. This is a takeaway and delivery counter rather than a restaurant, and parking in Brahmaputra Market gets difficult after seven in the evening.

  4. Lebanese Point

    PVR Anupam complex, Saket South Delhi

    Open
    12.30pm to 11pm; Google says 10am to midnight
    Where
    Shop 7, Ground Floor, PVR Anupam Shopping Complex, Saket, New Delhi 110017

    The chicken shawarma roll is the order, or the falafel roll if you are vegetarian. It is a takeaway counter in the Anupam complex with almost no seating, so do not plan a sit-down meal.

  5. Lub Lub - World of Shawarmas

    Baani Square, Sector 50, Gurgaon Gurgaon

    Open
    11am to 11pm, daily
    Where
    Shop G-27, Ground Floor, Baani Square, Pocket C, South City II, Sector 50, Gurgaon, Haryana 122018 (Zomato lists it as G-24)

    Lamb shawarma over the chicken, which comes out drier. Sauces arrive heavy on mint and chilli, so ask for them held back if you want a plainer roll; Sector 50 is the branch to use.

  6. Spice Aangan

    SDA Market, opposite IIT main gate, Hauz Khas South Delhi

    Open
    11am to 11pm daily; takeaway hatch, expect a queue
    Where
    C-21/2, SDA Market, Opposite IIT Main Gate, Hauz Khas, New Delhi 110016

    The chicken shawarma with green chutney, or a box of four to share. Seating is the park benches next door, and a long-closed shop of the same name in New Friends Colony still shows in listings.

  7. Layla's Shawarma & Middle Eastern Kitchen

    Greater Kailash 1 (Zamrudpur) South Delhi

    Open
    Noon to 12.30am, daily; takeaway only, no seating
    Where
    L-27, Ground Floor, Punjabi Mohalla, Zamrudpur, Greater Kailash 1, New Delhi 110048

    Go for the chicken shawarma roll with a side of hummus. The counter sits down a scruffy Zamrudpur lane with nowhere to sit and eat, and reviews report uneven hygiene, so eat it fresh.

  8. Shawarma Wala

    Kamla Nagar market, near Delhi University North Campus North Delhi

    Open
    11.30am to 10.30pm, daily
    Where
    33-34 UB, Bunglow Road, Kamla Nagar, Delhi 110007 (in the lane behind McDonald's)

    Stick to the plain chicken shawarma in soft bread and ask for less mayonnaise. It is a student counter near North Campus, not a destination, and another business trades under this name in Laxmi Nagar.

  9. The Tummy Section

    Shiv Nagar, Jail Road, near Tilak Nagar West Delhi

    Open
    1pm to 3am; brunch from 6am at this branch
    Where
    Shop 27-28, CSC/DDA Market Block B, Shiv Nagar Extension, Jail Road, New Delhi 110058

    Chicken shawarma, and the chicken egg boat if you are eating properly. Vegetarian choice stops at paneer. Newer outlets have opened at Pacific Mall and Punjabi Bagh, so order from the Jail Road shop.
