4. Fauzeey’s Lunch Box

• 📍 Multiple locations: Lugbe, Gwarinpa, Gimbiya Street, and more.

If you’re someone who believes shawarma should be as dramatic as it is delicious, Fauzeey’s Lunch Box is for you. Their shawarma names alone, Chicken Heaven, Miracle in Heaven, Billionaire’s Shawarma, tell you what kind of experience to expect.

This is not your regular meat-and-mayo situation. Their wraps are drenched in creamy sauces, filled with crunchy cabbage, sausages, beef, chicken, and all sorts of extras. The Billionaire’s Shawarma skips the cabbage and goes straight for a triple-sized wrap loaded with cheese and meat.  In addition, they serve fries, burgers, juices, mocktails, and smoothies.

Everything is made fresh, generously packed, and served with just the right amount of cream. 

They also sell meals like jollof and fried rice, porridge yam, masa, barbecue, and suya. You can go through their full menu here.
