Jerusalem Shawarma, Robson Street

What people say, in short
Jerusalem Shawarma on Robson Street draws strong recommendations, with diners calling it among the best shawarma in the city and praising its flavourful, complex food. Portions are considered generous, the pitas are huge, and one diner's jumbo wrap was so big it took two attempts to finish. It is a bit pricier than some rivals, but one commenter says it is well worth the price. Some caveats: a few find the chicken dry and the rice only OK, one visitor was simply not a fan, and one diner notes the room is quite noisy, so it may not suit a casual date. The pita, chopped salad and garlic potatoes get particular praise.
