Signs go up for Daily Shawarma in Dogs Head Street, Ipswich

Signs have appeared for a new restaurant serving Middle Eastern food in a Suffolk town.

Daily Shawarma in Dogs Head Street, Ipswich, has moved into the empty unit previously occupied by Lewis Hair which moved out in February.

Although an official opening date has not been announced, a planning application for the restaurant shows it will be open between 9am and 11pm every day — except on Sundays when it will close at 8pm.

Shawarma is a popular street food in the Middle East which is made from marinated meats such as lamb, beef and chicken.

It is especially well-loved in Egypt and is considered one of the world’s most popular street foods.
