THE SHAFFA JOURNAL

Behind every corner of Shaffa, one of the top Middle Eastern restaurant in Sydney, there’s a story to tell of flavour, people, and place.

This is where we share a closer look at who we are, what inspires us and the stories behind it all.

BEHIND THE DISH: CHICKEN SHAWARMA

Chicken shawarma says a lot about Shaffa: nostalgic yet refined, made to share, and one of the reasons guests call us the best Middle Eastern restaurant in Surry Hills.
