Erbil Shawarma Kebab House

Tucked away in Worcester, Erbil Shawarma Kebab House has built a loyal following with its no-nonsense approach to Middle Eastern street food. Holding a solid 4.3/5 from over 220 Google reviews, this takeaway and sandwich shop keeps things straightforward — quality meats, fresh bread, and generous portions. It’s the kind of place where the open kitchen lets you watch your order being prepped, adding a sense of theatre to the experience. While its Food Hygiene Rating of 2 (Improvement Necessary) flagged in March 2026 is worth noting, the steady stream of regulars suggests the kebabs keep them coming back.

The menu revolves around properly spiced, slow-cooked shawarma — both chicken and lamb — shaved straight from the vertical spit and stuffed into warm, fluffy pitta or wrapped in soft lavash bread. There’s a satisfying char on the meat, balanced by tangy pickles, fresh salad, and a slick of garlic or chilli sauce that cuts through the richness. Portions are hearty without being overblown. If you’re after a quick, honest feed in Worcester that doesn’t mess around with frills, Erbil delivers exactly what it says on the tin. Order online for collection and skip the queue.
