About Us

Our Story & Heritage

Some traditions are never written down. They are inherited. Passed from hand to hand, from heart to heart, and kept alive in people, generation after generation.

Our story began in a Palestinian village in the mid-twentieth century, where our grandfather first entered the restaurant business. With a deep passion for food and its craft, he developed his own recipes, serving his community fresh hummus, falafel, and beef and chicken shawarma—food made with care, served with generosity, and remembered for its flavour.

From those roots, Jerusalem Shawarma grew, carrying forward our grandfather’s knowledge of Palestinian cuisine and a heritage we are proud to honour in everything we serve.

Following the example of Hajj Sudqi Abu Farha and Hajja Fatima Abu Farha, we continue to honour what matters most and uphold what we will never compromise: quality, generosity, and food prepared with the same care we give to those in our own home.

Our roots are in Palestine, and our values remain grounded in our heritage. In every dish we serve lives a story told, a memory revived, and a bond that brings hearts together.

We carry this legacy in honour of those who began the story, keeping it alive through careful preparation, heartfelt hospitality, and the craftsmanship everyone at our table deserves.

From our home… to yours.
Food from the heart.
