About this spot
Alshami delivers authentic Levantine shawarma that cuts through Copenhagen's saturated street food scene with bold, spicy lamb and chicken options. The shop is a Norrebro institution where locals queue for crispy pita sandwiches slathered in garlic sauce rather than generic tourist fare.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'doppio' to get double meat if you want a filling meal that won't leave you hungry by 2 PM.
- Bring your own napkin or use the provided paper one, as the shop is notoriously messy with oil splatters.
- Ask for extra pickles and onions on the side to cut through the rich lamb fat in the shawarma.
