I first discovered this in 2012 when I first moved to bayswater and the schwarma was 3 or 4 quid and I come back about 11 years later and it tastes just as good as I remember. The large is probably a bit too large so the small is best for me. I have gotten mixed and chicken and they're both very good, but I got the chicken on my last visit. Sure the guys aren't super nice and friendly but it's a takeaway place and the food is under 7 quid. You aren't going to get the best service but that's why I love this place. Cheap and cheerful! Also some seating indoors and outdoors for your convenience. read more

Taza Sandwich - Chicken schwarma - Fast Food Near Me - London, XGL

Best Shawarma Sandwich in London no doubt. The meat is perfectly cooked. Moist and flavorful. If you believe it is a bit greasy then let me remind you that the taste is in the grease. Free shredded salad offered with the sandwich. Nothing fancy but makes the experience special. read more

Ivan hooked us up with the best Shawarma sandwich we've ever had! I know Shawarma I've been all over the world and had it in many places so I have very high standards. And this place was awesome! read more

Friend took us here. Ordered chicken shawarma which did not disappoint....juicy! The staff were nice. Good place for quick bite. Its cramped inside but they offer outside seating also. read more

randomly came across this place while visiting kensington gardens. had the chicken shawarma and it was some of the best casual food i had during my trip to london in july. food came out quick and everyone was kind. portions were huge for price. i'm going back soon and i definitely will be seeking this out!!!! read more

This place is way underrated. Super legit lamb schwarma that is juicy and flavorful. Should have gotten extra hot sauce as that was delicious! Will be dreaming of how good this was! read more

So this place is just wonderful. I can't wait to visit again and stop by this little spot. I was walking by and thought this place just looked very interesting from the outside. The small entry way we entered just opened up to some magnificent smells of turning meats! I knew we had to eat right then. They did not disappoint at all. I have had this in the states but if you think about it. This food to England is like tacos in California! I wish I would have taken a few photos but I was so hungry that I forgot! It happens! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! read more

This unassuming shawarma shop is a goldmine. My husband and I first tried it in 2001 when we were living in London and became loyal customers. We just visited again after being away for close to 20 years and it's just as good! Our favorite is the lamb shawarma with all the fixings and sauces. They slice the meat, put it into a pita, throw it into a panini-press type machine, and then add some garlic sauce, tahini, chili sauce, and lettuce. Toasty, flavorful, the best meal or snack. And if you want some extra salad on the side, ask for an extra plate or container. If you're in the Queensway, don't miss this tasty treat of a shop! read more

I got large mixed schwarma. The guy seemed bit rude and dismissive. Too busy looking after his arab clientele. Their was barely any meat in the wrap. This isnt what you expect for £7. It was a coleslaw wrap with like 2 pieces of chicken and meat. As a Londoner, I can tell you there are much better schwarma places around, I wouldn't bother to go here. No value for money. I had to get chinese after, as this was not filling at all. Have a look at the pic and be the judge yourself. They also accept cash only so they can avoid tax. read more

Taza Sandwich - Fast Food Near Me - London, XGL

This is a simple Take away restaurant that serves amazing food at a very reasonable price. There are a couple of tables in the front on the sidewalk if you choose to eat there & the weather cooperates. We had the chicken Shwarma which was served in a pita with coleslaw. It was very flavorful without being overly spicy. Be aware that it is cash pay only which is kind of rare in London. read more

Came back after 25 years and it is still as good as ever. Love the shawarma here, one of the best.

Seriously great late-night "snack" or afternoon lunch. We liked the lamb shwarma more than the chicken. The pita is grilled and the toppings that come with it are nice--onions, mixed salad, white and red sauce, but you can choose what you want and take extra from the topping bar behind the service station. Service is very friendly and fast. Well done! read more

I went to Taza the first time I came to London. It was like 1 in the morning, I was tired and I hadn't even changed my money out yet. The guy there took my American money and gave me the last sandwich of the night. It was magical. The next year I came back and went right back there for my next meal. I had to make sure my fatigue and hunger didn't affect my judgement on how good it was the first time. It was just as good if not better. The meat is so juicy, the bread fresh, the onions perfectly marinated. Lebanon blossomed in my mouth. I went back a third time on my next trip, this time after a great 3-2 win over Arsenal and again it smacked. The sandwich only cost a fiver but I'd easily pay a tenner for it. I love Taza so much. I will always visit when I'm London, also give the Afghan mates next door a shout for a bevvie. Love from California. Queensway is love. One. read more

Having sampled Taza twice, I can heartily endorse the chicken shawarma and the fresh squeezed orange juice. Don't be put off by the queues, these guys work fast. Everything's made to order so you'll watch your pita being sliced open, the chicken put in and the sandwich being pressed into the grill (which adds an extra dimension - crunch - to the shawarma). Taza's sandwiches are on the small side so if you're fairly hungry you may consider ordering two. And I recommend taking them to go; there are a few seats but they're really cramped. Next time I want to try the mixed shawarma (lamb and chicken). read more

How to identify a successful fast food outlet. 1. Nearby competitors serving similar food empty despite long line snaking out of Taza. Check. 2. Limited menu showing absolute confidence in your product. Lamb shwarma, chicken shwarma, mixed shwarma, falafel. Period. Mixed fruit juices. Check. 3. A small shop with not enough space if I'm being honest. Haven't sold out to corporate chain. Check. 4. Open windows onto street offer whaft of amazing smells from the 2 rotating spits. The meat is visibly made up of whole pieces of fresh meat, not an amorphous lump like most kebab shops. Check. 5. Finding myself joining the end of a 20 minute queue out in the cold when I'm in the area. Check. Seriously good kebabs! read more

Back again today and never fails me. As soon as you get remotely near this place the smells are wafting your way and you must step inside. You are then oogling the juicy meat watching the drippings glistening. Eat the lamb schwarma! read more

Taza Sandwich - Fast Food Near Me - London, XGL

What a jewel hidden in the overly touristy Paddington area! It was open on Christmas day and it's got great reviews from a few Yelpers I know and trust, so we went for a quick lunch. It did not disappoint, the lamb shawarma was seriously amazing... The meat texture and seasoning was just right! They also make freshly squeeze juice in store. I asked for pineapple mixed with apple and that resulted in some very thing fresh and delicious. Strongly recommend this hole-in-the-wall little place if you happened to be in the area. read more

Excellent chicken (and lamb) shawarma kebabs for £3.50. I've eaten here four days in a row. Visiting London from L.A. (US) for ten days and I might eat here every one of them. Yes the owner isn't friendly (to me). No he doesn't take time to be courteous. But he works like a machine turning ought great food, satisfying lines of customers all day long. Very tasty, very reasonable. Outstanding value. read more

Amazing falafel, fresh, delicious. Costumer service was amazing and pretty fast. Got a vegetarian dish egg plant, hummus, falafel, peppers and salad. Can't wait to get t again. 100% recommended read more

I'm always weary of kebab places but this particular one looked clean and was always full of people so i thought, "hey, this must be a yummy place." I went in and ordered the shawarma and boy, was it yummy! The service was fast and very nice. Despite the long lines, the place was efficient and really was a great option for a fast lunch. read more

Had been looking for some good food and stumbled on this place. If you are in the area it's a must try. The food is great!!!!

Came here on a strong Yelp recommendation and have since returned every chance I can get, the food is that good. I personally prefer the chicken but the lamb is excellent as well. The meat has a tangy lemony flavor that combines so well with the salad and sauces in the shawarma and I love how they toast the bread. The kebab and rice is also a delicious way to go, I get this with no added sauce for my kids. read more

AMAZING sandwich (pita) spot that is convenient for everyone stumbling out of the pubs (there will be a wait, late night). Delicious, amazing white sauce, hot sauce if you need it with all the toppings you could ask for. If I were close by, I'd be visiting on a regular basis. Loved this place and the guys running it were incredibly cool, patient, appreciative of their customers no matter what state of inebriation they may be in!!! read more

Still knocking it put of the park. Still always A line... if you don't dig this place you need to see a doctor as you're taste buds are well and truly screwed up. read more

THE BEST KEBABS AND SHAWARMAS IN LONDON. PERIOD. There are lines that go out the door daily, but it's well worth it for a shawarma or two. They have an incredible sauce that drips wonderfully into the hands so you can lick your fingers after you're done shoving the sandwich down your pie-hole. Then, there's fresh juices to wash it all down. Oh the memories! I swear the next time I step foot in ol' Blighty, this is the first place I'll stop for a kebab. read more

Throughout our holiday in London, days usually began or ended passing Taza between our lodging and the closest tube stop (Bayswater). Nestled amidst the souvenir shops and varied restaurants, Taza caught our eyes when we sought a quick snack, and we were not disappointed. Despite the multitude of eateries we could have sampled, we intently went to Taza on more than one occasion, because we were so pleased with our initial visit. On that first visit, my mother, brother, and I shared a mixed shawarma (a mix of chicken and lamb in a round of bread toasted in a press). Despite the number of mouths sharing the pleasing, crunchy item, we all left well-sated and pleased. We returned and had dinner on a subsequent night, where I had a lamb shawarma, my brother a falafel, and my mother a chicken shawarma, all matching the initial in taste and texture and value. Should I return to London, I know a return to Taza will be inevitable. read more

This little hole in the wall sandwich shop has some really tasty shawarma. A local Londoner took me to this hidden gem when I first arrived in London. I had the chicken shawarma with all the fixings (salad, spicy salsa, peppers and their homemade sauce) and some fresh squeezed fruit juices, all for less than a fiver! If you dine in (just a few stools at their back counter) they have salad, salsa, cabbage and peppers on the counter as well so feel free to pile it on even after they've added it to your sandwich. It's a great late night or post pub stop, or even just a good place if you have a hankering for some authentic middle eastern flavor. read more

Ate here last night when feeling hungover and tired... and it was pretty darn good! I got a lamb shawarma, which was super crunchy and hot after going into the sandwich press. The meat was plentiful and tasted good (only one bit of gristle) and there was a good amount of salad filler (despite the two counter guys having a bitchy little fight about who was going to get more salad from the back). My only complaint was that it is a bit too spicy for me - next time i'll ask them to hold off on whatever spicy sauce they use. Despite this, i'll definitely be going again. read more

Very quick and quite tasty. I got the mixed Sharma and my daughter got the lamb Sharma. They were good, but spicier than we typically enjoy and downright soaked in sauce. Next time...hold the sauce, but we would gladly return! read more

I spent 4 months living on Queensway in 2000. My room mate(another yank) and I ate at this spot at least every other day. When my friends go to England and ask what they should do, they are always surprised when I say "go to this falafel spot "Taza" on Queensway". Come on people, you can see a clock, old church or big ferris wheel anywhere. but amazing, cheap and unique* food is truly hard to find. Taza is what Robert Langdon was really looking for. *do they still hot press the sandwiches? Ive haven't seen that mentioned in any reviews. A close second to this place is my local spot in New York called "mamouns" and I only speak for the original on Macdougal St. So if your in NYC hit me up and you can buy me one. $3.50 read more

Mostly good...but inconsistent Originally stopped in bc it was one of few places with a queue...and there was a line outside the door. Simpy put, one of the best shawarmas I've eaten to date. After that first sando, I returned daily for the next 4 days and each time was great. And then the 5th visit was so horrific, it completely tainted the previous amazing shawarmas. The lamb was this funky, gristle-laiden mess with a very rotten taste. Curiously enough it was the one visit w/o a queue so apparently everyone else had gotten the memo but me. read more

The Shawarma was delicious--some of the best I've ever had and so affordable. Small premise, which means cramped eating inside or outside on a busy street. The small was plenty big and cost less than £5. I will make it a priority to visit again before leaving town and when I return to London again. The little me out the door during mealtimes is testament to the quality/cost of their food. Go and enjoy! read more

Stopped in here a couple times for chicken shawarma and lamb kofta kebabs. The flavors were great, though I would have liked a bit more lamb in the wrap. That said, the prices are quite reasonable and the location is great. There is some seating in the restaurant, as well. I did really like having the salad options you can add on your own (onions, sauces, etc). read more

Taza Sandwich - Lamb kofta kebab. - Fast Food Near Me - London, XGL

Tazaaaaa. Oh if only at least half of London places were like this. Quick service no messing around suddenly you have a great wrap with massive salad in your hand and Hyde Park just around the corner. My bf's personal record is 3 Tazas but if you would have to choose one I would recommend either falafel or kofta. Kofta is not always available though. All the wraps are really cheap compare to anywhere around which is another reason why it's always full. Love this place! read more

This place has the absolute best schwarma ever. My family and I went spur of the moment and we could not have more thrilled. We even went back the next day and then again another day after! It was that good, seriously. The chicken schwarma with everything on it is heaven on earth (they have a chili sauce/mild salsa that is not that spicy, so just try it!). The staff we encountered were kind, helpful, fast, and so accommodating, it was an overall treat to go for more reasons than just the food. I am truly crushed that we don't have Taza in California. I will make it a point to always come to back to Taza whenever/if ever I come back to London. Do yourself a favor and go to Taza!!! read more

Yum, yum, yum! This place is delightfully cheap and filling. Of course if you've had the famous chicken and rice in New York City, it's hard to compare such greatness, but this is quite close to home. It's about the greatest go-to food when one is hungry. Taza has a great white sauce that matches wonderfully with it's rice and meat. My roommates are currently eating a shawarma right now, and I'm getting cravings. It smells delicious, tastes great! I have no complaints about the friendly staff, lovely food and nice prices. The workers are friendly, ready to help you out and always up for a chat. When I think of what I want to eat, Taza is always on the list even if I have more expensive options in mind. read more

Craving a late night snack after a concert at royal albert hall, we stumbled upon Taza based upon yelp reviews. And we were not disappointed. We tried the chicken schwarmas with all the topping, which included various sauces and cabbage. They were tasty, not too spicy. The prices were very reasonable. 3,50£ for one schwarma, which was enough to fill me up. The place itself is small, typical of other hole in the wall places in London. The employees themselves were not too friendly, very dry and wanting to just move you along without explaining much. But this is understandable for a busy place and culture. And in the end, the food was worth it. read more

The staff is incredibly helpful and the food is amazing! The chicken wrap is incredibly delicious and all that is for a fair price. The chicken and lamb wraps are only £3.50. If you see the queue reaching out of the door, don't be alarmed. The staff works in a tempo that is close to that of almighty fast food gods. A great place for a shawarma to satisfy the late night hunger. Highly recommendable. read more

Saw this place on Yelp and surprisingly their shawarma was delish! Hole on the wall. Line out the door but quick to get your food! Definitely recommend it! read more

In the whole world there is one place that every time I travel to London I have to go. Taza is nothing special for a Joint its just a hole in the wall that really is a hole in the wall. The service leave a bit to be desired but really its part of the experience. The food OMG its like one Sandwich just does not do it. Shwarma's are not hard to make however this is really hard to duplicate. I have tried Shwarma's all over Seattle and nothing not a thing compares. If your ever there you have to go and wait in line and buy two Lamb and Chicken Shwarma's. Taza in Seattle would be good. read more
