When you think of African food, dishes like jollof rice, suya, and plantains might come to mind. But did you know that shawarma is also one of the most loved street foods across West Africa—especially in Nigeria? At Laud Shawarma, we bring this vibrant African flavor right here to Silver Spring, Maryland.

Shawarma with an African Twist

While shawarma originated in the Middle East, it has become a staple in Nigeria, where it’s reimagined with bold spices, fresh vegetables, and unique local twists. At Laud Shawarma, we’ve taken that same Nigerian-style approach and brought it to the U.S. Every bite carries the taste of home for Africans living in the DMV area, and an exciting new discovery for anyone craving authentic international food.
