Jerusalem Shawarma (Macleod Trail)
The Macleod Trail location of the Jerusalem Shawarma chain - one of the chain's busiest, and among the two or three most-reviewed listings on this entire map. Run by a family of six brothers sharing their grandfather's recipes. What to order The lamb shank is fall-off-the-bone and the chicken shawarma is the safe standard. The falafel is fried to order - shatteringly crisp outside, light within - which is the detail that surprises people who expected a counter operation. The pudding is worth adding. Good to know A large, spacious room with plenty of tables, and reviewers single out how clean both the prep area and the dining room are kept. Check the rice on a platter. It is the one complaint that recurs here and not at the chain's other rooms - undercooked rice, from more than one diner. Breakfast through dessert, reservations accepted, good for children and groups, with a children's menu, vegetarian options, step-free access and free parking. Rated 4.9 from more than 7,400 Google reviews.
