The Matbah is one of those addresses that makes a busy day in central Madrid easier. It sits close to Puerta del Sol and Gran Vía, so you can stop for shawarma, falafel or a grilled plate without turning lunch into a journey across the city.
Menu highlights
Chicken and beef shawarma lead the menu, joined by kebabs, grilled skewers, falafel, hummus, rice bowls and wraps. Vegetarian travelers can build a meal around falafel and hummus, while groups can mix handheld options with plated grills.
- Chicken plate with rice, salad, fries and hummus
- Mixed barbecue chicken and kefta plate
- Chicken shawarma meal with fries and a drink
- Falafel durum for a meat-free option
Why the location works for visitors
The restaurant is at Calle de Tetuán 26 in Centro. It is a short walk from Puerta del Sol, Callao and Gran Vía, so it fits naturally between sightseeing stops. Its central position is especially useful when a group wants halal food without committing to a long detour.
How to plan your stop
Dine-in, takeaway and delivery are listed, with late-night opening on much of the week. Hours can change, so check before relying on a late meal. See current details on The Matbah’s Wwain page.
Visit outside the busiest lunch and evening windows if you want a faster central-Madrid meal.
