Lonely Planet review for Shwarma stands

There are plenty of shwarma stands in the centre of Manama, around the back of Bab al-Bahrain and in the souq, where the large turnover of customers ensures the freshness of the snack. Woody's, near the rear of Bahrain International Hotel, is one such establishment, where roll-up sandwiches cost 250 fils and a mixed-fruit juice 500 fils - there's no charge for the ringside view of life behind Government Ave.

    Shawarmanation

    cazooa recommends this,

    Ladies and gentleman, I am please to present the alternative; the Shawarma:
    A tastily packed roll-up of a selection of meats (usually chicken or beef), veg, and sauce. Prepared within 5 minutes for an average price of 300 fils (BD 0.300), the shawarma is a must-try for anyone within the reach.

    Our quests for 'The Ultimate Shawarma' in Bahrain have introduced us to new breads, sauce combinations, and methods of meat preparation.

    The whiff of a shawarma stand in the air means you are not far from a feeding hub for both locals out for a night-time snack as well as long distance trekkers out for a tasty hunger quencher.

    Though shawarma stands quality service usually means an extra chips and more meat in your meal, there is a certain heart warming appeal to waiting for 5 minutes - Well worth it if you have good company or the desire to engage in idle banter with newbs.

    From local shops to shopping mall stands - Shawarma, is an ideal (afternoon to midnight) belly-pleaser, taste-bud-teaser, and hunger-cease-er.

    'With good health'
