Our Promise
Why Our Halal Chicken Stands Out
Halal Sourcing
All of the chicken we serve is halal, and so is every other meat on the menu. Halal means the animal was handled and slaughtered according to Islamic guidelines.
Marinated with Spices
Shawarma chicken is traditionally marinated with garlic, lemon, olive oil and warm spices before it is stacked on the spit, so the flavor reaches every layer.
Roasted on the Vertical Spit
Traditional vertical spit roasting creates the perfect caramelized exterior while keeping the meat incredibly juicy and tender inside. No shortcuts, no deep-frying.
Carved to Order
Your chicken is carved off the vertical spit when you order, then built into a pita, shrak or bowl with your choice of free toppings.

From Spit to Plate
How We Prepare Our Chicken Shawarma
Our chicken shawarma is not just a menu item -- it is a craft. From sourcing to spit-roasting, every step is designed to deliver the most flavorful halal chicken in Falls Church.
Halal Chicken Arrives Fresh
Every meat on the Taza menu is halal, chicken included. Ask the counter if you have any questions about what we serve.
Seasoned the Traditional Way
Shawarma chicken is traditionally marinated with garlic, lemon juice, olive oil and warm spices such as cumin, paprika and seven-spice before it goes on the spit.
Stacked on the Vertical Spit
The marinated chicken is carefully layered and stacked on our vertical spit, creating the classic shawarma cone shape. Thin slices of fat are interspersed to ensure moisture during roasting.
Roasted and Carved to Order
The spit turns next to the heat, so the outer layer browns and caramelizes. Each portion is carved off the vertical spit when you order it.
The Difference
Why Halal Chicken Tastes Better
Many customers discover that halal chicken simply tastes better. There is real science behind this: the halal process produces cleaner, more tender meat that absorbs marinades more effectively. Here is why:
