I never usually hand out 5 star reviews, but, swung by this spot after ages, and let me tell you, the kebabs haven't lost their magic! Big shoutout to our OG waiter for the nostalgia trip.

We dived into the Rousi Sandwich, Kebab Halebi, and the grand Super Mixed Grill – a feast for our crew of four. Navigating the parking maze was part of the adventure, but hitting it around Asr prayer scored us a prime spot. Quick tip – make sure to hustle for that parking ticket!

There were nice tables to eat at, but they were full. It was inevitable that I had to eat quickly at the small table just before the reception. They seem to have a big delivery business, which is where they concentrate. The service at my little table was very quick and the taste of shawarma was a little bit bland, wrapped in the soft and chewy bread type.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best Chicken Shawarma in the KINGDOM OF BAHRAIN! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If you're craving the most mouthwatering and flavorful chicken shawarma in Bahrain, look no further than Iskenderun (spelled Eskandroon on Talabat). I had the pleasure of having their chicken shawarma for 18 months, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish.

From the moment I stepped into the restaurant, the inviting aroma of freshly grilled chicken and fragrant spices wafted through the air, instantly whetting my appetite. The staff greeted me with warm smiles and a friendly demeanor, adding to the overall positive impression of the place. At times, calling me “boss” over my friend who introduced me to this place was just the icing on the cake… that’s for you, schawarma boss…

Now, let's talk about the star of the show - their chicken shawarma. The tender and succulent chicken pieces were expertly seasoned with a blend of traditional Middle Eastern spices, creating a symphony of flavors that danced on my taste buds. Each bite was a perfect balance of savory goodness and a hint of smokiness from the grill. The chicken was neither too oily nor too dry; it was just right!

The accompaniments and fillings were equally exceptional. The freshly baked Turkish flatbread was soft and fluffy, providing the perfect vessel to hold all the goodness inside. The generous serving of fresh vegetables, crisp and colorful, added a delightful crunch to every bite. And let's not forget the creamy and tangy tahini dressing, which elevated the shawarma to a whole new level of deliciousness. Slap some Tabasco hot sauce on that bad boy and you’ll have an out of this world experience.

The portion size was generous, making it a fulfilling and satisfying meal. Whether you're looking for a quick lunch on the go or a hearty dinner, their chicken shawarma will undoubtedly hit the spot.

ITS CHEAP TOO!! 2x shawarma is only 1 BHD!!!!!!!

Moreover, the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive and efficient, ensuring that every customer had a pleasant dining experience.

Overall, Iskenderun serves HANDS-DOWN the best chicken shawarma in Bahrain, and are more than deserving of a 5-star review. It's evident that they take pride in delivering top-notch quality and authenticity in their dishes. If you're a food enthusiast like me or someone who simply appreciates delectable cuisine, this place is an absolute must-visit!

I cannot recommend their chicken shawarma enough. The experience was nothing short of impeccable, and I will definitely miss this dish. Bravo to the team at Iskenderun for setting the standard for outstanding chicken shawarma in Bahrain!

Absolutely juicy, flavour rich and perfectly cooked lamb chops! Total expertise with their famous lamb chops. Very unique taste is to be found here when compared to other grill restaurants in Bahrain. Also the size was fair.

Was disappointed though with the mixed grills. Complete contrast to lamb chops. Lamb kebab was so thick, almost bland and over cooked. Chicken tikka was flavourless too and over grilled again. Lamb chop and lamb tikka was cooked with the same spices or coating. Portion is very less for its price.

Probably just stick to lamb chops, mixed mezza and fresh hot bread.

Neat interior, good family seating area and happy with the customer service and speed.

Best Lamb Chops ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The best Turkish Restaurant in Manama.
The star of the restaurant will be the Lamb Chops ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️(our own opinion)
It is so soft, juicy and tasty. We never had a lamb chops like this before and were keep coming back for this.

We had Iskanderun Kebab Halebi, Lahmacun, Mixed Mezza, Shawarma, Lamb Chops, Shawarma with Yogurt (beef), Aryan and Turkish Bread. The price is reasonable and the serving is good. The staff are nice and the place have space to fill in family, friends, workmates for their lunch and dinner. The restaurant have limited parking space at front but fortunately there is a big vacant lot next to the restaurant where you can surely find a parking space. The restaurant opens from 11am until 2am.

Pro tip, place your order ahead before coming in especially when you are hungry and have limited time. Once you reach they will serve it immediately.
