Shawerma Review: IKEA
Sweden is famous for their meatballs so when IKEA started making and selling shawermas I was eager to try it.
First time I had the shawerma in the new IKEA branch at The Avenues mall I didn’t like it. They mixed vegetables with my shawerma and I hate places that do that. The vegetables which is usually made up of onions and some green stuff (I don’t know what its called) over powers the chicken flavor. So next time I passed by IKEA I ordered the shawerma plain with just garlic.
How was it? Its edible.
The biggest problem I had with their shawerma is the bread. I think there is too much bread for the shawerma. The solution I would recommend is to either increase the quantity of chicken in the bread or decrease the size of the bread itself. The chicken tasted good and the garlics presence was felt but not over done. If only they weren’t so stingy.
Final score I settled for was 3 out of 5. The shawerma costs 250fils which is great specially since the place is extremely clean. They also have an offer combo, coke plus shawerma for 350fils. The location is crap, no one is going to drive up to IKEA just for their shawerma of course. Overall its not bad for their first try. I just hope they start filling up the bread with more chicken.

I love your shwarma reviews Mark.
And the ‘garlic’s presence was felt’ reminded me of a quote from Star Wars….

redhead are you a blond? hehe Couldn’t resist. For the most part, you take the 5th ring headed toward Jahra, keep looking to your right, you’ll see signs for IKEA and AVENUE, you can’t miss it. Good luck.
