First time I encountered Enzo's Shawarma was at The Best Food Forward Food Fair. Armed with so many foods I purchased at the event inside the NBC Tent even before I went outside to the grilling section, I was only able to buy drinks from their stall. Little did I know I was missing on something really great. Luckily, I was informed that they’re going to be at various bazaars come this month. So last week, I visited their food stall at the NBC Tent again, but this time, it’s for Ateneo’s Big Bang Bazaar.
At the Bazaar I met Enzo's Shawarma’s owner Mary Joy Lim-Astilla, a BSPT graduate from University of Sto. Tomas, a young entrepreneur and a mother of two. Although the business was registered under her name, she never discounted the fact that it was her mother, Marlyn Lim who is the genius behind the recipes of their shawarma and other products. Their business was named after Mary Joy’s eldest son Enzo, and they are still coming up with another business in the future to be named after her youngest son, Marko. Ever since, their family has always into food business, therefore the expertise is already there. No wonder their Shawarma is one of the best tasting I ever had.
I was able to try their Shawarma, Open Turkish Sandwich, and the Shawarma Rice and loved everything immensely. My sister, who happens to be a shawarma enthusiast, gave me thumbs up while gorging on these goodies. Even my cousin who can be considered the pickiest eater in the world cannot stop from taking spoonful of the Shawarma Rice. It was that good.
Open Turkish Sandwich and Shawarma RiceI love the fact that the taste of the onions nor the garlic sauce and everything else does not overpower the taste of the beef. Those generous pieces of beef are so tender and savory it goes well both with the pita bread and the rice.

Enzo Shawarma has been around for 3 years now with their main branch at the University Belt. As of the moment, they are actively participating to some food bazaars and expos. They also provide catering services to parties and other special occasions.
