Shawarma Chazan Ha'Ir

On each journey down Jaffa Street in downtown Haifa, one can see a long, yet flowing queue winding around a corner. Despite what one may believe upon first impression, they are not handing out gold, but rather one of the best shawarmas in all of Haifa. Shawarma Chazan Ha'Ir has become legendary across Israel. Although many have tried to replicate their lamb and veal shawarma, Chazan Ha'Ir is irreplaceable when it comes to their recipes and atmosphere.
