Shawarma ShabaziB

668B Amsterdam Ave, New York, NY 10025 · Middle Eastern restaurant, Arab restaurant, Kosher restaurant · Upper West Side

Big, customizable Israeli-style shawarma, laffa, and falafel with late hours and limited seating; great portions, mixed service, and some cleanliness/value complaints.

Why this grade

Shawarma Shabazi delivers solid neighborhood quality through strong food quality and excellent value, especially for in-store orders, but inconsistent execution and tight seating constraints prevent higher standing. The customizable toppings bar and generous portions appeal to casual diners seeking authentic Israeli street food, though late-night cleanliness reports and variable service during busy shifts create reliability concerns that keep it competitive with neighborhood favorites rather than a destination standout.

One caveat: Seating is minimal; winter dining can be uncomfortable outdoors
