5 Best Shawarma Restaurants in Hong Kong (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Shawarma in Hong Kong means Tsim Sha Tsui kebab counters, Central lounges with a belly dancer on Fridays, and a Kowloon walk-up you'd never find without a tip. One shawarma restaurant in this city has logged 4,652 Google reviews on its own, more than nine times the next closest name on this page, and it is still only rated 4.7. That gap says more about how Hong Kong actually eats Middle Eastern food than any single star rating can.

Short answer: Ebeneezer's Kebabs & Pizzeria (TST) | Halal Certified leads with 4.7 stars across 4,652 reviews, the deepest track record on this page by far and a certified halal menu of kebabs, biryani and curries. Shahrazad Lebanese Cuisine (4.5, 1,127 reviews) and Ziafat Arabic restaurant (4.5, 771 reviews) are the strongest runners-up. Expect roughly HK$100 to HK$500 per person depending on whether you're grabbing a wrap or sitting down for a full Lebanese dinner.

Ebeneezer's Kebabs & Pizzeria (TST) | Halal Certified

4.74,652 Google reviews

Ebeneezer's Kebabs & Pizzeria (TST) is part of a 17-branch, halal-certified chain that has been serving Hong Kong since 1993. The menu leans Indian and Middle Eastern at once: kebabs, biryani, curries, wraps and pizza sit side by side, with vegetarian options throughout. Its Tsim Sha Tsui branch on Prat Avenue runs from mid-morning into the small hours most nights, and the sheer volume of reviews here dwarfs everything else on this page.

What people praise

  • Halal certified, with a wide vegetarian selection alongside the meat menu
  • Staff are frequently praised by name for warm, attentive service
  • Open into the early hours most nights
  • Consistent flavor across repeat visits, according to regulars

Worth knowing

  • A few reviewers found specific dishes, like the lamb donair, drier or smaller than expected
  • Service can slow down when the sports-bar-style room fills up

Our take: It has more Google reviews than the rest of this page combined and a halal certification that matters if you're keeping to that diet in Hong Kong. The rating sits a touch below the smaller specialists here, but the volume behind it is hard to argue with.

Shahrazad Lebanese Cuisine logo
#2🕑 Open 7 days

Shahrazad Lebanese Cuisine

4.51,127 Google reviews

Shahrazad Lebanese Cuisine is a lounge-style Lebanese restaurant on Wyndham Street in Central, with a second cuisine, Indian, ordered in from a partner kitchen nearby. The room leans into the theme: exotic decor, live music, and a belly dancer on select nights. Dishes run from moutabal and hummus to lamb tagine and shrimp, and it has built a following for both the food and the atmosphere over more than a thousand reviews.

What people praise

  • Distinctive lounge atmosphere with live entertainment on some nights
  • Wide dip and mezze selection that reviewers repeatedly single out
  • Good for groups and special-occasion dinners
  • Central location near Lan Kwai Fong

Worth knowing

  • A few diners found the bread portions small for the price
  • Some found service on the reserved side compared to the warmth of the food

Our take: The strongest sit-down Lebanese experience on this page, built around atmosphere as much as the plates. Book ahead for weekend dinners, when the belly dancing performances tend to run.

Ziafat Arabic restaurant logo
#3🕑 Open 7 days

Ziafat Arabic restaurant

4.5771 Google reviews

Ziafat Arabic restaurant sits on the sixth floor of a Nathan Road building in Tsim Sha Tsui, a short walk from Kowloon Mosque, and serves halal Arabic and Turkish dishes including kebabs, kabsa, and fried fish. It's a family-run spot that reviewers describe finding almost by accident, tucked well above street level with limited signage. Hours run late, past midnight most nights.

What people praise

  • Halal, and the closest sit-down option to Kowloon Mosque according to reviewers
  • Generous portions at prices reviewers call reasonable for the area
  • Authentic flavors that Middle Eastern and South Asian diners both praise
  • Open late, past midnight

Worth knowing

  • Hard to find on the sixth floor with minimal street signage
  • Music and noise levels can run loud in the evening

Our take: A genuine hidden-gem pick for anyone craving halal Arabic food near Tsim Sha Tsui's mosque district. Worth the elevator ride once you find the entrance.

Lamees logo
#4🕑 Open 7 days

Lamees

4.6458 Google reviews

Lamees is a Mediterranean and Middle Eastern restaurant in Ma Tau Chung serving Jordanian-rooted small plates: hummus, grilled octopus, halloumi, wagyu tail tagine and kanafeh for dessert. It's chef-owned, with reviewers naming the owner Tarek directly for his hospitality, and leans upscale compared to the counter-service kebab shops elsewhere on this page.

What people praise

  • Chef-owner Tarek is repeatedly praised for hospitality and generosity
  • Fresh pita made in-house, called out by multiple reviewers
  • Outdoor seating available
  • A less commercial, more authentic feel than the busier tourist spots

Worth knowing

  • Smaller, quieter room than the bigger chains on this page
  • Some dishes, like the kanafeh, split opinion on richness

Our take: The pick for a proper sit-down Mediterranean meal rather than a quick shawarma wrap. It ranks fourth mostly on smaller review volume, not on quality; the food itself draws some of the strongest individual praise on this page.

FRANCIS west

4.8346 Google reviews

FRANCIS West is a North African and Middle Eastern restaurant on Peel Street in Soho, drawing on the flavors of Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Morocco (the maghreb). It's the more casual sibling location to another FRANCIS restaurant, with a tasting-menu option that lets you sample the range in one sitting, and it takes online bookings up to 30 days out.

What people praise

  • Tasting menu makes it easy to sample a wide range of dishes at once
  • Baby squid and hummus are called out repeatedly by reviewers
  • Highest rating on this page
  • Online booking up to 30 days ahead

Worth knowing

  • Smallest review base on this page, so the rating rests on a thinner sample
  • A couple of reviewers found signature dishes like the orange lamb underwhelming on a given visit

How we rank these

Every number on this page comes from public Google data as of the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the business, measured against the others here. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.7 from thousands of reviews counts for more than a 4.9 from a handful. Recency tracks how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these restaurants?

We started from shawarma and Middle Eastern restaurants in Hong Kong with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we rank these above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Where can I find halal shawarma in Hong Kong?

Ebeneezer’s and Ziafat are both halal certified or halal-focused, and Ziafat sits close to Kowloon Mosque in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Is shawarma easy to find in Hong Kong?

Yes. Tsim Sha Tsui has the biggest concentration, with Central and Soho offering more upscale Lebanese and North African options.

The bottom line

Ebeneezer’s is the safe default given its scale and halal certification, but Shahrazad and Ziafat are both worth the trip if you want a sit-down experience over a quick wrap. Call ahead on weekend nights, especially for Shahrazad’s belly-dancing shows.
