Shawarma Central is now open at 183 E. Houston St. on the southwest corner of Orchard Street.
The new arrival is the restaurant's third NYC location, joining two Brooklyn outposts at 1418 Avenue Z and 1425 Kings Highway.
The menu features chicken, beef, and lamb shawarma served in wraps, pita bread, and bowls, along with a selection of hot dogs that take a different approach to the usual toppings.
Those include Samarkand- and Tashkent-style hot dogs, topped with combinations of salads, vegetables and sauces, as well as a version with three sausages.
Here's a look at the space ...
They have extensive hours, opening at 9 a.m. daily... with closing times ranging from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. depending on the day.
Shawarma Central takes over from Ankara Turkish Restaurant, which closed in August after more than three years.
Ankara opened here in March 2023, marking Ramazan Turgut's return to the Lower East Side. He previously owned Bereket Turkish Kebab House, the longtime neighborhood favorite that operated across Orchard Street for 19 years before closing in 2014 to make way for Ben Shaoul's gold-dusted residential development.
