Food is extremely good, tasty and fresh. Never disappoints! A firm favourite. Everything in this menu is good and tastes like it should.

Now this is where I will go out of my way if I want a Schwarma. Delightfully fresh, assembled before me and packaged to take away beautifully.The taste was sublime.They do offer sit down dining, I will return and try that option.Certainly not inexpensive but oh so good!

This has to be the top tier in middle eastern style food. Always fresh and generous portions. The coffee is also top class.

What an amazing experience. Food is awesome and the service is amazing. We tried the lamb schwarma as a sit down share meal, which ended up being more than enough for two to share. Keep up the great work guys. cant wait to revisit your restaurant.

Absolutely love this place. The food is amazing. My favorite! The price though isnt all that cheap and the service is extremely slow. The 2 stars is due to the slow service but food is great

Place is slowly going downhill - prices going up and portions getting smaller. Meze platter used to easily be enough for two people, now they soo stingy barely enough for one. Their staff are professional, but that doesnt compensate for the overall dining experience.Pity, they used to be great.

I sat at the upstairs area and the atmosphere was amazing! Lovely place and great service. Ironically, I decided to order ribs from a Schwarma place and they were delicious! The meat pulled right off of the bone.

It’s the best Schwarma in Joburg. My recent experience, the chicken was a bit dry and service avg but lamb is the winner and hasn’t disappointed. Ever. Highly recommend it if you haven’t been. Cool vibe there almost every day

Review №24

For those who decide to go for a healthy option of Tuna Salad.. it is disappointing to say the least! A bed if shredded purple cabage with some sliced tomato and a tin of Tuna in top for R130! Tip for when you visit this spot is to perhaps stick to ordering Falafel and Shwarma as this is their specialty.

Review №25

Schwarma Co is a treasure of the Norwood suburb and an even more impressive family restaurant.Their menu selection is trusted and delectable, I suggest trying their Line Fish or Grilled (300g) Rump; but their specialty is truly in the Schwarma in Pita selection. I myself absolutely love the Lamb in Laffa!Try this local heritage of an establishment out, they deserve their accolades and have a beautiful history serving some of Johannesburg citys authentic cuisine.Follow them on Facebook for a closer look and you might just catch the owners live feed before you can make your booking!

I often get take outs, today I was shocked at there being no sauce on the beef laffa and the pockets of dry dough. I was pretty put off. Hope everything is OK amongst the staff

Review №51

Food was excellent. Such a welcoming buzz. The staff as so helpful. It was clean and vibey. I do think what could take it to the next level is if they had your name saved and new what youd liked from before so you dont need to come and stand and say what you want Everytime. Abit over-priced.

Review №52

The Schwarma Company has cosy downstairs seating and more spacious upstairs seating. Each section has its own serving area. The food is always excellent, and there are vegan options, too. I highly recommend their falafel and laffa! Also try their house lemonade.Other Mediterranean items are also available to purchase.

I have been going to schwarma co for the last 3 years for different business functions and personal occasions. The food here is the best I have ever had. The salad range is beyond description, and as for the other offerings, well, just go there and get amazed. I especially like the ribs, they are MASSIVE and the flavour is out of this world. Did I mention the salads. I rest my case.
