Sher-e-Punjab Grill Shawarma

Sher-e-Punjab is widely credited as the restaurant that introduced grilled shawarma to Gujranwala, and it has been on Sui Gas Road since the 1980s. Where most shawarma places in the city stick to the standard rotisserie style, this one grills the wrap over an open flame, which gives it a smokier, charred character. That technique is what keeps it recommended in local food circles even as newer shawarma spots open across the city.

The grilled chicken shawarma is the reason most people come, and it is what to order on a first visit.

The rest of the menu is worth knowing about. The burgers are good, the Zinger especially, and the fried wings and the loaded fries are both worth ordering alongside the shawarma.
