Best Shawarma in Falls Church, VA

Not all shawarma is created equal. At many restaurants, shawarma is made from pre-formed meat logs that are mass-produced. At Taza, we do things differently. Our chicken and beef are marinated in-house using our family's recipe -- a blend of spices including cumin, coriander, turmeric, cardamom, garlic, and citrus that infuses the meat with deep, complex flavor.

The marinated meat is carefully stacked on our vertical spit and slow-roasted throughout the day. As the outer layer caramelizes to perfection, our cooks shave thin slices directly from the spit when you place your order. This ensures every serving is hot, juicy, and has that perfect combination of crispy edges and tender meat.

Whether you prefer it in a warm, fresh-baked pita pocket with garlic sauce and pickled turnips, rolled in a thin shrak flatbread, or served as a bowl over basmati rice with Arabic salad, our shawarma is the real deal. And with our self-serve toppings bar featuring 14 fresh options, you can customize every bite exactly the way you like it.

All of our meats are 100% halal certified. We are open 7 days a week from 11 AM to midnight, serving the Falls Church, Alexandria, Arlington, and greater Northern Virginia communities.
