With numerous delicious food choices, Shawarma Joint’s vegetarian selections are the restaurant’s standout feature.
While shawarma is a traditional Middle Eastern cuisine that normally serves meat as the main course, Shawarma Joint provides customers with a substitute. Their alternative option is a flavorful falafel, a Middle Eastern specialty made with beans, and it doesn’t disappoint.
Customers can create their dishes with a bowl, wrap or pita, along with several vegetarian toppings, including fried cauliflower, fried eggplant and chickpea salad. You can also try their preselected joint signature combinations, like the vegetarian plate.
The Middle Eastern restaurant has two locations — one in Campustown and another near downtown Urbana. Both locations are accessible to University students and local community members.
If you are hungry between classes or work, the Middle Eastern eatery will serve you heaping portions of food that will surely fuel up your energy needed for the day.
Shawarma Joint might not be the first restaurant that pops into your mind for vegetarian food, but the dual winner of best Middle Eastern and best vegetarian food is definitely worth a shot.
