90% were served in Saj bread.

I’ve juts come back from a “Shawarma Safari” in Amman, Jordan.

90% of the shawarma out there was served in Saj bread and let me tell you: it was nothing short of a a revelation.

I’ve never come across a uk shawarma operator serving shawarma in Saj.

Well that’s about to change.

Sqew has a Jordanian inspired menu update launching 9th of March.
It’s the best Sqew yet. If you thought Sqew was good before.
Get ready……..

A Day With Sqew - Power Service 2/2

Sqew’s service starts off at 11:30am sharp.

There’s always that feeling in the air, a bit like the whistle at kick-off.
Spits cooked, sauces bottled, prep done, fresh salad out. That feeling is unbeatable.
It’s pride in the prep, the setup, pride in the craft.

A great service looks like this:
A happy team. Customers satisfied (and then some).
A clean sellout. A swift close.

But it’s more than that.
It’s the camaraderie.
It’s leadership.
It’s that one customer who says, “This reminds me of home.”
It’s smashing a sales record, or sharing a late staff meal with a mate after getting slammed for five hours straight.

I don’t know what could replace the unity, the teamwork, the mission we share at Sqew.

Service is more than service here — and we love it.

Don’t Sleep On The Garlic And Zaatar Mayo

The Leeds OGs know this sauce well.
It was on the original menu when we first launched — its never needed tinkering with. We nailed it first time.

It doesn’t belong in the sandwiches… but with the ridge cuts? It’s next level.

A Day With Sqew - It’s all about the prep. 1/2

Sqew’s day starts at 7am.
Great shawarma needs great prep. Great prep needs a great team, a great teams needs great ingredients.

It’s a passion here at Sqew, sourcing all the best clobber. Lebanese pickles, tahini, olive oil. Turnips from Egypt. Sumac from Palestine. And that’s only the start.

A young, hungry, talented team bring it all together to make the shawarma you know and love.

Yes, we make great shawarma — but it all starts with passionate people and great ingredients.

A Taste Of The Levant – Rice Platter

This is a big one. It’s our second most popular platter after the Arabic Box — but that’s a given.
Second place aside, it’s an absolute winner.

The rice is an authentic Lebanese recipe, a proper staple back home. Maybe not traditionally served with shawarma — but we’ll come onto that.

It’s cooked with toasted vermicelli, olive oil, and a beautiful aromatic spice mix, just a touch, mind you…. you don’t want to overpower the nuttiness from the vermicelli. It’s a great, healthy addition to the Sqew menu, and served with lamb and a pot of tahini? Gets me every time.

Now look, shawarma isn’t usually served with rice. It’s more of a grilled-meats thing. And yes, with how we pitch our authenticity, it could be a slight misalignment.
But here’s the truth: our Arabic customers are loving it, and that’s enough for me.

Keep It Healthy.
Keep It Rice.

A Taste Of The Levant - Falafel

It’s not my first choice. Im a shawarma guy but………
When I do order it I’m always blown away. The freshness of the falafel with all the herbs and spices, the texture and crunch - it’s properly delicious.
Pair it with some sharp pickles and the creamery tahini and it makes for a mega healthy and tasty alternative to meat.

I’ll be having this more often for my staffies i rekon.
