Hand-pressed ground beef, grilled to order — the kebab many guests call kofta or kefta.
Our Beef Kebab is the hand-pressed ground-beef kebab many guests call kofta or kefta — and it is different from beef shawarma.
Beef shawarma is stacked on a vertical spit, slow-roasted, and shaved into slices. Our Beef Kebab starts with seasoned ground beef that is hand-pressed around a skewer and grilled to order over high heat. That ground-beef preparation is the style many Middle Eastern menus call kofta or kefta: juicy in the middle, with charred edges from the grill.
Shawarma House keeps Beef Kebab as the menu name. If you searched for a beef kofta wrap near you, the matching menu item is our Beef Kebab Pita Wrap; the same hand-pressed kebab is also available as a plate, over fries, or as a skewer.
What makes our Beef Kebab a kofta-style kebab?
Kofta and kefta commonly describe seasoned ground meat shaped for grilling. Our menu item follows that preparation: halal-sourced ground beef, seasoned in our signature blend, hand-pressed, and grilled to order over high heat.
Two details define it:
- Ground, hand-pressed beef — not chunks of steak and not shaved shawarma.
- Grilled to order over high heat for a charred outside and juicy center.
Beef kofta wrap, plate, fries, or skewer
Choose the Beef Kebab Pita Wrap when you want the kofta-style kebab as a handheld lunch. The Beef Kebab Plate pairs it with rice, salad, hummus, pita, and sauces; you can also order Beef Kebab Fries or a Beef Kebab Skewer.
If you’ve never had Mediterranean kebab and you’ve only had Middle Eastern food via the shawarma side, this is the dish to try second. It tells you what the same kitchen can do with fire instead of slow-roast.
