"We finally went to Ashot for a falafel shawarma during the last week of our month stay in Montevideo. What a huge mistake!! We regret waiting so long. Their falafels are delicious, I loved that they are toasted.
Ordering is super easy, take a slip and mark your choices. The staff is incredibly friendly & helpful. Don’t bother looking for other falafel restaurants- we tried one and the pita was so dry & old it fell apart. Just come here."

"The best shawarma in Uruguay!
This is a no frills shop where ordering is so easy, you get a piece of paper where you put your name and tick what you want, pay and the shawarma gets to you very quickly!
The shop is rather small but there were not much people eating in the shop. There is a queue waiting for shawarma but most were doing takeaways. I was only one of the few dining in the shop.
I have to say the shawarma was really good! The portion is definitely filling and the meat is so tender and juicy. While eating there was still meat juices oozing out of it! I also loved it when the shawarma pita was heated up so nicely there is a slight crunch to it at some parts.
Truly a good place to indulge in cheap and good shawarmas."

"Definitely the best shawarma I’ve tried in Montevideo. This place lives up to the hype. They have a nice method for how to order with the papers they have you complete. Great portion size for the price. I definitely recommend!"
