Ordering Strategy

Join the queue (which moves fast), order at the counter, and eat immediately while the bread is still hot from the tandoor. Strictly takeaway.

What to order

Safe first

Falafel Wrap

Described as 'award-worthy' and 'most incredible,' this wrap features freshly fried falafel with a 'crunchy outside' and a 'special tang' from curry mango sauce, all encased in their signature fresh naan.

Hungry

Chicken Kubba Wrap

Perfect for those seeking a 'more substantial meal,' it consists of a 'crispy potato pocket' filled with shredded chicken, rice, veg, and sultanas. Critics describe it as 'hearty lunchtime excitement' and 'hot salty stodge.'

Wildcard

Za'atar Naan

While the plain bread is a 'cultural institution,' this version comes with a 'thick dusting of tangy, toasty za'atar' and is a standout example of why the shop is famous for its tandoor-fresh dough.

What to skip

Skip
Garlic and Cheese Naan— Noted as the 'only letdown' in an otherwise stellar menu, these are criticized for being 'slick in margarinish oil' compared to the superior plain or za'atar versions.

Good to know

There is no seating. Lines can be very long on Arsenal match days. Prices are exceptionally low (cash recommended).
