Shawarma Express serves Middle Eastern shawarma and falafel in Cape Town, with craft beer on tap. The shawarma is prepared on a vertical rotisserie, using lamb, mutton, chicken, turkey, beef, or veal sliced thin and stacked in a cone. Falafel is made from ground chickpeas or fava beans, mixed with herbs and spices, then deep-fried.

The restaurant has two locations in Table View and Sea Point, and operates food trucks in Cape Town and Johannesburg for events and catering. They serve Halaal customers and provide event catering with a focus on efficiency and professionalism.

The menu stays true to traditional Middle Eastern preparation methods, with ingredients that have remained consistent over the years. The craft beer selection complements the food, served directly from the tap.

The Table View location is on Porterfield Road, and the Sea Point branch is on Main Road. Both are set up for walk-in customers, while the food trucks handle off-site events.
