A shawarma restaurant that opened in Rishon LeZion in 2004, with free salads and chips beside every dish

Herzl 2 is a shawarma restaurant whose first branch opened in Rishon LeZion in early 2004; a second followed in the western industrial zone ten years later, a third in Yavne in 2018, and in 2022 this one at 18 Yaakov Freiman Street, inside the Mika filling station, with a new design, many seats and a large car park. It serves turkey and chicken-thigh shawarma made every day from fresh meat to its own recipe, in a pitta, a laffa or a baguette, and also chicken skewers, schnitzel and falafel. Its free bars of house salads and its chips, cut from fresh potatoes, come free with the dish. It is closed on Friday and opens on Saturday an hour after Shabbat ends.
