About this spot
Almalek shawarma in Nørrebro serves up crispy, charcoal-grilled chicken and beef that is distinctly better than the soft-shell versions found elsewhere. The shop moves fast, so expect to grab a paper-wrapped wrap or plate of rice pilaf with pickled turnips before lining up for the next batch.
💡 Tips before you go

- Bring cash only, as this popular Norrebro spot rarely accepts credit cards or contactless payments.
- Go early in the morning to avoid the longest queues that form after 12:00 PM.
