A local cart that turned into a neighborhood favorite and kept the same energy all the way.
Westside Shawarma started as a food cart on the streets of Jersey City in 2014. The idea was simple: serve real Middle Eastern flavor with quality ingredients and a lot of heart. People loved it. What began as a late night favorite quickly turned into a neighborhood staple with customers who still talk about the cart days.
The buzz pushed us into a permanent shop and the community followed. Today, Westside Shawarma keeps the same energy. Fast service, bold flavor, affordable meals, and care in every order.
Our menu is focused on the essentials. Chicken and lamb gyros, generous platters, crispy falafel, and the house made sauces that made us a name in Jersey City. Guests appreciate the freshness, the balance of flavors, and the consistency that keeps them coming back.
