Fodor's Expert Review Shawarmaji

$ Oakland Dinner

Jordan-inspired street food is not easy to find in the Bay Area. The unique Californian catch here is the use of flour tortillas, which are better for the foot-long, narrow wraps that are pressed on the flat top for an extra level of caramelized delight to each bite. It’s irresistible, whether filled with the signature chicken shawarma, lamb/beef shawarma, or falafel.
