Shawarma is not new to us since we can almost see it anywhere. What we are actually missing is enjoying the authentic ones since most of the shawarma joints in the market today are already suited to the Filipino taste. So, if you are someone who is looking for authentic Middle Eastern food, you should check them out.
Shawarma Beef Rice – the beef was tender, savory and flavorful and yes, it comes with two rice, cucumber, coleslaw, and tahini paste on the side.
They only use premium beef, unlike the typical shawarma joints we are used to so, you can be sure to have that ultimate shawarma experience.
Price: Php 140
Table for: 1
Food Rating: 3.5/5
You can also make this into a meal by adding drinks and fries of your choice.
The fries come in 3 flavors — original, cheese, and sour cream.

Beef Shawarma – same savory and flavorful beef but this time, served with their uniquely prepared pita. Unlike other shawarma joints, theirs was prepared by torching.
Price: Php 69
Table for: 1 (Titan Size)
Food Rating: 4/5
You can have their shawarma in beef, and chicken and it is available in 3 sizes — regular, titan, and challenger size.
The regular and titan sizes are both good for one but the latter is bigger in size while the challenger size is good for up to 2-3 persons depending on one’s appetite. It can even be shared by 4 people if you are going to order other meals from their menu.
Sorry, I forgot to take a photo of the different sizes of shawarma side by side but the challenger size is as long as their tray.
Chicken Shawarma – this was the first I have eaten shawarma with fries. Yup! This Chicken Shawarma comes with fries inside. I just learned that this is how the Middle Easterns really eat their shawarma.
This is nice since Beiruti Bite Express really stands up for authenticity.
Price: Php 240
Table for: 2-3 persons (Challenger Size)

Hummus with Pita – premium pureed chickpeas blended with garlic, lemon juice, and sesame paste drizzled with olive oil.
Though we are not much a fan of their hummus, we love their pita;

Also available in medium size for Php 129.
You can also have this Hummus with Falafel.

Moutabal – authentic homemade roasted eggplant mixed with garlic, lemon juice, sesame paste, and drizzled with olive oil.
This is the first time we have tried this and since we don’t eat eggplant, we don’t like it because of its bitter aftertaste.
Price: Php 69
Table for: 1
Food Rating: 2.5/5
If you love Pita as much as we do, you can order an extra for just Php 15.
Our favorite? The Beef Saj! Ohh that beefy and cheesy goodness will surely be a hit for anyone! Another favorite was their falafel though we are not much a fan of their hummus.
Their beef shawarma is also a must-try! It may be a bit more pricey than the famous shawarma joints in the market but their beef is one of a kind and the size is bigger, This is actually more sulit.
