Shawarma Bar Clerkenwell is a Levantine rotisserie restaurant at 46 Exmouth Market. Fire shapes the cooking, with meats, fish and vegetables slowly turning on the rotisserie or meeting the grill directly. The lively room suits both quick lunches and relaxed evening meals, while a focus on sharing brings the table together around bold flavours and generous plates.
Mezze provides a natural starting point through warm bread, dips, chickpeas, crisp falafel and vegetables seasoned with herbs, tahini, yoghurt, chilli and citrus. Smoky aubergine, grilled greens and fresh salads bring brightness alongside richer plates. At lunch, filled pitas offer a quicker way to enjoy the rotisserie meats, vegetables and sauces without losing the character of the kitchen.
Dinner leans more strongly into food from the fire, with choices such as lamb kofte, spiced chicken, cod shawarma and cauliflower cooked over flame. The menu balances smoke, spice, acidity and creamy accompaniments, allowing several contrasting dishes to be shared in sequence. Vegetarian choices are woven throughout rather than treated as an afterthought, making mixed tables easy to accommodate.
Cocktails draw on ingredients that complement the kitchen, while a mainly low intervention wine list brings bottles selected for the spices and rich grilled flavours. The restaurant welcomes guests from lunch through dinner from Tuesday to Sunday, with some tables held for walk in diners. A set menu for larger groups preserves the shared style that defines Shawarma Bar.
