A Filipino food phenomenon that began a decade ago in a humble night market stall is now satisfying international cravings. Shawarma Shack, the Philippines’ largest shawarma chain, has made its international debut in Singapore, bringing with it the signature flavours that made it a household name.
The brand’s success stems from a simple, yet powerful, culinary philosophy. Founder and CEO Walther Buenavista sought to create a meal that was not only “delicious, healthy, and filling” but also served as an affordable daily option. This vision resonated with working professionals in Manila, turning the company into a national sensation with over 850 outlets.

This culinary prowess is now on full display in Singapore. The menu offers a delightful range of its signature Wraps, Rice Meals, and Salad Boxes, complemented by popular sides like Sloppy Fries and Original Shawarma Nachos. A particular highlight is the Classic Broasted Chicken Rice, a local favourite in the Philippines that is now set to capture the palates of Singaporean diners.

The new outlet in Toa Payoh, HDB Hub, offers an accessible taste of Filipino food culture, with prices for the shawarma wraps starting from a very reasonable S$5.90. This makes the brand a perfect fit for Singapore’s fast-paced lifestyle, offering both quality and value.
