Farmfoods L.A. Diner Doner Meat

Well. I, err, um. I don’t really know how to tell you all how I came by a packet of Farmfoods Doner Meat. I was of relatively sound mind, hadn’t been drinking or nothing, and I thought it was a good idea to buy. “What’s the worst that can happen?” I thought. “I’m not going […]

Vote early, vote often!

The good people over at Shawarma King (review: here) have posted over on their Facebook page that they are in the running to win Glasgow Live’s Best Takeaway award. We (me) at Shawarma Police love awards, and it would be nice to see a Shawarma place win it for once. As they are a) the only […]

Kurdistan Shawarma, Glasgow

Hello. I plan to revive this empty shell of a blog at some point… In the meantime, may I interest you in a photo of the best place in Glasgow at the moment? £3.50 for a lamb shawarma wrap to absolutely die for, which was the size of a small child, and they gave me […]

Mini Review
