Shawarma and Things
Address: 5802 E Virginia Beach Blvd, Norfolk, VA 23502
Shawarma and Things, a place recently opened at the Janaf shopping center is bringing shawarma to Norfolk, Virginia.
With a clean atmosphere and a cool furniture design with tables resembling a marble esthetic, the food was enjoyed with atmosphere appropriate foreign music.
I was also pleased to see chicken and lamb roasting vertically on slowly rotating spits making sure every inch of it was slowly cooked.
The meal I ordered was the Lamb Shawarma Bowl.
According to the menu, it came with
"Basmati Rice Cooked with Aromatic Spices and Saffron, Mixed Green Salad Topped with Lamb Shawarma Strips, Tahini Sauce, Pomegranate Dressing, Parsley and Sumac(.)"
The lamb was tender and soft and very easy to chew and was quite flavorful and seasoned well.
The greens gave the bowl a nice leafy texture with an added crunch from the onions helping make the entrée filling with the rice rounding it out.
The pomegranate dressing added a hint of sweetness which complemented the lamb and the greens but not overpowering it.
And, the tahini sauce added a comforting creamy quality making it even more tasty.
Oh, and since it was my first time at this place, I was given this tea served in a fancy small glass cup that was quite minty and warm and sweet. It was quite good!
With the soothing music in the background, I had a delicious and relaxing experience.
