I had the Piatto kebab piccolo (€7).

The picture only shows meat, but there's a salad underneath.

However, it doesn't come with bread or rice, so it's probably best to order something else. (Ordering a panini sandwich might solve this problem.) The display case had kebab skewers, side dishes, and rice, so I guess they usually serve it with various toppings.

The meat was well-seasoned, and the vegetables seemed fresh.

It's served on a tray with disposable containers (plate, spoon, fork). After eating, you throw the containers in a nearby trash can (self-service), and pay when you return the tray.

Drinks seem to be purchased from the refrigerated shelves next to the counter.

Even though it was a weekday, there were quite a few customers getting takeaways.

I got the impression that hygiene wasn't very well managed, so I'm not sure, but it feels like using it like a food court.

I don't speak Italian, so maybe it can't be helped, but when I asked an older chef for a recommendation, I only received a cold explanation of the products. To be honest, I was a little disappointed because it was a restaurant with very good reviews.

One of the best kebabs I've had in Rome, second place for me! Perfect welcome with a glass of tea on a rainy day. The meat is delicious and melts in your mouth, and the pita is rolled both before and after filling. The toppings are really good, and many are homemade (eggplant, potatoes, zucchini, etc.). If you're in the area, you absolutely have to go!

Accoglienza eccellente, con te caldo. Il proprietario del locale è estremamente gentile e disponibile. La carne è cotta sulla brace che dona un aroma e un sapore unico inoltre c'è un ottimo assortimento di condimenti e verdure da abbinare. Ci sono anche molti altri piatti (molto ma molto di più del solito kebab), noi abbiamo assaggiato dei fagottini triangolari ripieni di carne dei quali purtroppo non conosco il nome ma erano ottimi, li potete vedere nelle foto della vetrina di fianco ai felafel, anche quelli provati, buoni. Non posso che assegnare ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stelle ad un locale così autentico, cibo buonissimo. Bravi!

There's nothing to be done. Centocelle, a working-class neighborhood in Rome, spoils us with gems and fabulous treats. Mashwyaat definitely ranks among the best kebabs in Rome for a number of reasons. First, the staff, in my humble opinion, is very friendly and professional. All customers are offered Syrian tea, as well as homemade sweets. What surprised me was the line. Perhaps also thanks (in a good way) to the video of Franchino Er criminale that came out a few days ago, this establishment ended up becoming even more popular. As I wrote previously, the service was impeccable. There's a guy—I think he's the owner—who takes care of everything, serving, preparing food, and charging customers (every time he takes off his gloves and puts them back on). But let's get to the food. There's a huge selection, besides kebabs, you can get a thousand other things, including grilled chicken thighs, which looked absolutely delicious. The kebab is cooked on a vertical spit and even before you taste it, you know it will be a success. As usual, I don't like to add too many ingredients because I want to savor the meat, so I opted for salad, chickpea sauce, white sauce, caramelized onions, spicy sauce, and raw onions. They make the piadina themselves. For €5, you get a small kebab, which is a lot. Last but not least, once rolled, they press it on a grill. The taste is truly incredible. It's worth mentioning that the meat cooked this way has a different texture, it remains juicy but at the same time acquires a crispiness, and above all, the wood-fired cooking pushes it really well. With this method, the piadina is toasted, giving it a crispiness. In short, a kebab worthy of a full 9. The only thing I can say is that, if I may, I would leave it on the grill alone. A few seconds less, to avoid a slightly rubbery piadina. They also have an outdoor seating area. Recommended.
