About this property
Excellent opportunity to acquire a well-established Shawarma & Donair restaurant with a strong local reputation and a loyal customer base. Operating for approximately 13 years, this business has become a popular lunch destination, especially for nearby office workers, professionals, and repeat customers.
The restaurant benefits from strong visibility on a busy main road with high daily traffic and easy access. The space offers seating for approximately 50 guests, along with a large open dining area that can be used for small events, private gatherings, or additional revenue opportunities. The premises are well maintained, recently painted, and include an installed sound system.
This is a non-franchise business, meaning there are no franchise fees and the buyer has flexibility to continue the existing concept or expand the menu and services. The wide menu already appeals to a broad customer base, with additional potential to introduce a sheesha café concept, ghost kitchen, catering, or delivery-focused operation.
With affordable rent, trained staff in place, and seller training available, this is a true turnkey opportunity for an owner-operator or an experienced restaurant buyer looking to take over an established food business with growth potential.
