“We cook it exactly how we cooked it back home. Everything by hand, every day. Come hungry. Stay late.

The Shekho family.
Khaleel Shekho was 19 when he opened Shekho's with his brother, sister, and parents. They cook everything the way it's cooked back home in Syria — marinated in-house, turned on the spit all day, hand-wrapped to order.

After the bars, after a late shift, after everything else in town is closed. The spit's still going at 17 St. Paul St.

"A must try if you're in for some authentic shawarma and kebabs. I tried the Shish Tawook and the kebab and they were mouth watering. It's one of few family owned businesses and they were super nice and hospitable. They gave me extra garlic sauce on the side without even asking. Kudos."
