Park Royal’s Food and Restaurants Are Built on Asphalt and Man’oushe | Eater London

"What began in 2009 as frozen kubba and shawarma sold as an offshoot of a catering business has evolved into a family-run hub of Iraqi homestyle cooking where starters start around £4.50 and mains from about £9; the skewer for the ever-popular shawarma is set up each morning at 9 a.m. so it is at its best for lunch and often runs out by afternoon, the meat marinated in yoghurt, spices, vinegar and lemon, while the restaurant bakes all its own bread, greets customers personally, serves complimentary lentil soup with crispy fried pita, and offers distinctive Iraqi breakfast dishes such as bagila and dihin, kahi with rich geymar, and weekend specialties for offal lovers." - Zahra Al Asaadi
