YEMANES'

The Best Shawarma in London | Eater London

"The owners of this much-loved Peckham street stand put their own Algerian spin on the shawarma wrap. There’s a choice of chicken or lamb, but the latter is the winner. It isn’t cooked on a spit, but rather on a plancha, before being rolled up in a Yemanes flatbread (also cooked on a plancha) with a red kidney bean spread; fresh pepper hummus; stewed lentils; feta and olive oil cream; and chilli sauce. It may feel a little idiosyncratic, but it is a very satisfying wrap with the right level of spicing, heat and contrast. Watching the bread being rolled out and cooked moments before eating it certainly adds to the experience." - Joel Hart
