Eating the Golan – Shawarma

Aug07

Restaurant: Shawarma

Location: Somewhere in the golan

Date: July 2, 2019

Cuisine: Kosher Shawarma, Falafel etc

Rating: ok, but not amazing

_

While driving around the Golan Heights we stopped at:
1A0A1505

This authentic kosher Shawarma place. I have no idea where or what it’s actually called.

1A0A1504

The inside is very casual. Very. There was substantial authentic Israeli salesmanship going on in dragging us inside. Many of the customers were young army soldiers.

You can see the rotating cylinder of Shawarma in the back right.1A0A1498

They really good self serve pickles. The peppers were incredibly spicy, even by my standards.

1A0A1499

Shawarma. With fries. It was all a bit dry. Flavor on the meat was good. But it really needed the tahini. Probably the kosher meat factor. Plus it was chicken or turkey or something. Lamb would be better (aka fattier).

1A0A1502

1A0A1271

The ruins of Beit Shean (a late Roman city)

Falafel.

I was not super impressed. I was hoping for some really good beef/lamb — ideally with yogurt (aka lebneh). This was much like you get at a super casual LA kosher Shawarma place.
