About AndShawarma - Our Halal Food Story and Vision

We Didn't Open a Restaurant. We Brought a Culture

Shawarma was never meant to be ordinary.

It’s bold flavours, slow roasting, fresh ingredients, and recipes made with care — the kind of food that brings people together and keeps them coming back.

When we created AndShawarma, the goal wasn’t just to open another shawarma restaurant in Gaithersburg, MD. We wanted to build a place centred around quality, energy, and real Mediterranean flavour. Every wrap, bowl, and plate is made fresh, packed with vibrant ingredients, and prepared the way shawarma should be — handcrafted and full of character.

From the aroma of the grill to the final wrap or bowl in your hands, every detail matters.

Because great shawarma isn’t rushed. It’s an experience.

That’s what AndShawarma is all about.

Fresh Ingredients. Bold Flavors. No Compromises

At AndShawarma, we do one thing and we do it right.

Every wrap and bowl starts with fresh ingredients. Our meats are halal, marinated in house with real spice blends. Our sauces are made in the kitchen, not poured from a bottle. Our vegetables are crisp and fresh, added with care.

We don't cut corners because the food tells on you when you do.

You'll taste the difference in the first bite. The juicy, well-seasoned chicken. The tender Angus beef. The crispy falafel cooked fresh to order. The garlic sauce that customers keep asking us to bottle.

This is Mediterranean food the way it was meant to be. Bold, wholesome and filling.

A Place Where Everyone Feels Welcome

We've seen first dates, family dinners, solo lunch breaks, and work celebrations happen right here in our restaurant.

What makes us happy is watching people take that first bite and smile. That moment never gets old for us.

Our space is clean, comfortable, and easy to find at 15918 Shady Grove Road. Our team is friendly because they genuinely care about your experience. Come in, sit down, take your time. Nobody's rushing you out the door.

We want every visit to feel like coming back to a place you already know.
