"Lovely service from the workers and the food is absolutely amazing! Coming from someone who rarely eats Lebanese food, ever since I tried my first shawarma here I haven’t stopped craving it. The first time I ate here was around August, and since then I’ve been coming back every month. The flavours are incredible, the wait time was short, and everything feels worth it. I’d recommend this place to anyone."

"From the feeling of comfort to the delicious taste of all the items I ordered, it was a beautiful experience and its beauty was increased by the wonderful service that the restaurant provides to its customers. I thank Abu Salah El-Din for the rich conversation that made the experience more beautiful. If you visit Zurich, you must come here."

"Great experience at Orient World. I ordered the lamb shawarma and it was really tasty, the meat was very tender. The portion was good and the price was quite affordable (around CHF 12), definitely worth a visit."

"I was moved to tears the moment I had my first bite into the shawarma arabi cut. To be frank, I was in the midst of giving up during my journey towards this heavenly store. The journey tough but not as strong as my feelings towards the scrumptious meals provided here. In another life, I would pray to do just the same to be in the privilege of eating and being in the moment of this truly cinematic dining experience through my 17 years of living on this planet called Earth. I thank all my sponsors and supporters for pushing to live this far in life to gain such a memorable experience."

"I have been eating here several times. There's never a wait and for me its the best Arab food in Zurich, so whenever I am nearby I go. And its affordable! What a rare gem. It brings me back to Lebanon order the sandwiches for lunch or mixed plate for dinner you will be very satisfied."

"Just got their arabi shaurma. It's the best thing I have put in my mouth this week. The chicken is juicy, the garlic sauce out of this world. And the SALAD, the salad is making me question things. It's so fresh and tangy, I could eat a bucket of it. For 16 bucks, worth it. The portion is pretty big, so you could even share it if you wanted. Scrumptious meal. 10/10"
