Uchimura Egyptian Restaurant

One diner described the lamb shawarma at Uchimura Egyptian Restaurant as excellent and also recommended the molokhiya soup. Shawarma is offered with a choice of chicken, beef or lamb, served with rice or bread, so diners can pair their preferred meat with a staple. Another meal combined beef shawarma with lamb shish kebab, fuul and baba ghanoush. Adding a chickpea dip or aubergine paste is another way to round out a meat dish with small plates.

For lunch, one reported order paired a falafel sandwich with a chicken shawarma sandwich, alongside tabbouleh salad and hummus with pita. The falafel sandwich contains vegetable croquettes, tomato, pickles and cabbage; the diner particularly enjoyed the combination with pickles. Another pita sandwich lets you choose 2 fillings from options including hummus, fuul, musa'ah and yoghurt salad. Choosing a combination—such as chickpea paste with musa'ah made with aubergine and green pepper—can be part of the appeal.

You can eat in or order takeaway. One report notes that seating is limited, so choose between sitting down to decide over a meal and taking sandwiches or other dishes away, depending on your plans.
