I've long heard of people raving and craving for Turks Shawarma. Since I love shawarma, I just couldn't pass up a lifetime not having tried it so one afternoon while strolling along SM Manila, I spotted Turks Shawarma with no lines.
The menu is streamlines into just one product: Pita Doner.
All Meat is 50 php. You can choose your meat between Beef or Chicken. If you want with veggies (60 php). If you want with cheese add 10 php.
As it was handed to me, I thought the size was generous enough because it was long.
Perhaps my expectation was set too high because I felt disappointed. The pita wasn't stuffed with as much beef as I expected. The beef were mostly ligaments and fats. The sauce was too sweet. It resembled more of Filipino barbecue sauce to me. Sadly, as of this date, have around 6 shawarma reviews and this is at the bottom of the list.
Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Well, I'm just glad I satisfied my curiosity about Turks Shawarma. For the price, it was worth the try. But, I wouldn't go for it again.

Hidden in the midst of the commercial buildings of Ortigas District is a hole-in-the-wall diner called "Jacob's Shawarma". Jacob's Shawarma is owned by Jacob Cortes, a Turkish model who was one of the hottest Cosmo Bachelors in 2008. Yes! He is the handsome guy in the Jacob's Shawarma logo and on the menu.
Update December 3, 2019: Jacob's Shawarma has moved to two new locations:
1. Levi Mariano Avenue, Ususan, Taguig City
2.San Joaquin, Pasig City
The place is clean and simple perfect for a casual hang out with workmates and friends on any time of the day. Aside from the cashier's counter, you can view through the kitchen and watch as your food is being prepared.

| ♥12- Inch Beef and Lamb Shawarma (200 php) |

| Beef and Lamb Shawarma |
The shawarma they serve is Turkish shawarma also called doner as differentiated from the Persian shawarma which is more easily available here in the Philippines. This Turkish shawarma has a lemon sauce unlike the Yogurt Sauce and Hot sauce in the Persian shawarma. Despite being 12-inch long, the Beef and Lamb Shawarma's pita is crunchy in every part since they are equally grilled by using an electric griller. A single bite on the Beef and Lamb Shawarma gives you the perfect sensation from its crisp pita, chewy juicy tasty beef and lamb meat to the aromatic taste of the herbs, tomatoes and onions.

| ♥Home-Made Ice Tea Mint (50 php) and Yogurt Drink (50 php) |
The Home-Made Ice Tea Mint is delicious and refreshing. It gives a unique cool taste that lingers in your taste buds. We really loved this drink and will surely order it again on our next visit.
The Yogurt drink was a bit tangy and not too sweet. However, it was too watery so the yogurt taste was very mild. Personally, I prefer a yogurt drink which is richer and thicker.
