Enjoy Shawarma Opens Second Arkansas Location on Cantrell Road in West Little Rock

Enjoy Shawarma opened Monday at the Pinnacle Station strip center at 14524 Cantrell Road in West Little Rock, marking the concept's first location inside the city of Little Rock. Owner Zeyad Abdelhadi launched the brand in Bryant, where the restaurant built a following on a menu of chicken and beef shawarma, falafel, gyros, and hummus prepared to traditional Mediterranean standards.

The Concept

The menu is built around a small number of core items executed tightly — meats sliced to order from the vertical spit, falafel made from scratch, and a short list of sides and sauces. It operates as a fast-casual concept, which makes it a natural fit for weekday lunch traffic. The Bryant location developed a consistent following since opening, and the Cantrell Road spot is positioned to draw from the dense residential population along the Chenal corridor.

Neighborhood Context

Pinnacle Station at 14524 Cantrell sits in a pocket where West Little Rock transitions toward the Chenal Valley corridor. The strip is a serviceable commercial development — a mix of casual dining and service tenants — without much distinguishing it before this opening. The nearest cluster of non-chain dining options is several miles in either direction. A fast-casual Mediterranean concept landing there addresses a practical gap, not a trendy one.
