Richmond's cult shawarma counter - Chef Khaled's garlic sauce and pistachio chicken shawarma.

A small, no-frills Bridge Road takeaway counter with a handful of seats - casual and fast-paced, built around the open kitchen where Chef Khaled often works solo through rushes.

Fresh-made garlic toum sauce and pickles prepared daily, a signature pistachio chicken shawarma reviewers say is unlike anything else in Melbourne, and a family share platter with laban.

Very strong - Syrian-born reviewers say it's the first shawarma to taste like home in years, and Gulf-raised reviewers make the same comparison to their own upbringing.

Most reviewers call it excellent value for generous portions at a low price point, though a handful say prices have crept up and portions shrunk slightly since opening.
