Jerusalem Shawarma Savanna

I had a really great experience at this restaurant. From the moment we arrived, everything was very welcoming and well organized. The place is very clean, comfortable, and you can tell that they really care about maintaining a high standard for their customers. What impressed me the most was the manager. He was extremely respectful, kind, and very generous with his hospitality. It’s rare to meet someone who treats guests with such genuine care and professionalism. He made sure everyone was comfortable and that everything was going well. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very nice, and the cleanliness of the place really stands out. You can see that the staff works hard to keep everything organized and pleasant for customers. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I truly appreciate the great service and kindness we received. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean restaurant with excellent service and very respectful management. I look forward to visiting again soon.

I had the fortune to recently attend a Tajdid Al-Iman and Becoming Muslim iftar for reverts/ new Muslims hosted by Jerusalem Shawarma McKnight. It is an exceptionally virtuous act because it blends profound spiritual rewards with essential emotional support. It transforms a potentially isolating experience into a joyful, communal celebration of faith, offering comfort to those who may be navigating their first Ramadan without family or community support. The venue could not be a better fit, the décor has eastern vibes and is tastefully done. You are welcomed as soon as you step into the establishment and the service just continues to impress you from there on, even though it’s a buffet. There was a bit of lineup for iftar as expected and it’s a bit of tight squeeze around the desserts and salads. The food has an identity that shines through the Musakhan is to die for (as it should be, as it’s a Palestinian national dish) , the Mansaf is rich with the meat dissolving in your mouth alongwith the traditional strong hitters of Jerusalem everywhere their Sfiha ( meat pies) , their unique Muhammara ( walnut dip) and their Hummus ( chick pea dip- best in the city). The piece though that stood out was the generosity which is so important as we look to serve those new to Islam. Fresh hot Knafeh at the table, fresh juices, tea and coffee that they would bring around to the table again and again I would visit again as much for that generosity as I would for the food.

We went for Iftar Buffet at newly opened location at McKnight. It is the best one so far. Such a nice environment. The food was top notch. I have never had such a wonderful buffet. Everything was hot till the last minute and then they brought a massive tray of fresh knafa. It was so sooooo good. I highly recommend everyone to go for a buffet during Ramadan. I will be going back more than once. Owner Waleed was checking on us to make sure everything is good. The service was beyond exceptional. Thank you for an amazing visit
