Farooj Abo Alabed

Farooj Abo Alabed brings Lebanese-style farooj, grilled mashawi, and shawarma to Oakland's Old City, all served with the signature pink sauce that regulars ask for by name. Our kitchen is built around classic Middle Eastern flavors, from rotisserie-style chicken to freshly grilled skewers, prepared the way they are served in the Levant.

We're proud to offer a menu that many Arab food lovers across Oakland and the East Bay have been hoping for, and it's a welcome addition for anyone craving authentic shawarma in the city. Every dish is made to order, so you can expect fresh, bold flavors with each visit.

Our location in Old City makes it easy to stop in whether you're a neighbor or visiting from elsewhere in Alameda County.
