About this spot
This Getsemani staple serves up crispy, paper-thin pita that soaks up garlicky tahini sauce better than any tourist trap in town. Skip the plain meat and order the shawarma with fresh pickles and a squeeze of lime to cut through the rich spices. It's the perfect late-night fix after wandering the cobblestone streets until your feet ache.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order extra pita bread immediately, as it often runs out during peak hours.
- Ask for the sauce on the side if you prefer controlling the tahini intensity.
- Bring cash only; this spot rarely accepts credit cards.
