Shawarma & Falafel 101: What Makes ANAT’s Menu So Iconic?
When you think of the ultimate Middle Eastern street food experience, two things immediately come to mind: succulent Shawarma and crispy, golden Falafel. Together, they represent a flavour journey wrapped in a daily fresh pita, a tradition ANAT has been perfecting in South Africa since 1991.
But what is the secret behind that unmistakable ANAT taste? It’s a symphony of fresh ingredients, a signature spice blend, and the freedom to build your meal exactly how you like it.
The Soul of the Flavour: Our Secret 8-Spice Blend by Anat
The foundation of the ANAT experience is our signature spice profile. We don’t rely on generic seasonings; instead, we use a freshly prepared blend of 8 unique spices by Anat that brings the authentic taste of the Middle East to every bite.
This aromatic punch is what defines our savoury meats and our iconic falafel mix. When those spices hit the heat, the scent alone tells you that you’re about to eat something legendary.
The Daily Freshness Standard: Delivered to Stores Every Day
At ANAT, “fresh” is a promise we keep through daily deliveries. To ensure the quality of our signature staples never wavers, we bring the best ingredients to our stores every single morning:

- Authentic Falafel Mix: Prepared to our exacting standards, our mix is delivered daily so that every falafel ball is served hot, light, and perfectly seasoned.
- Our Famous Hummus: Creamy and rich, our hummus is delivered fresh daily to serve as the essential base for every pita or bowl.
More Than Just a Wrap: Our Famous Chips & Salads
An ANAT meal is a complete sensory experience, and that includes the sides that have become legends in their own right:
- Famous Fresh Home-made Chips: We don’t do ordinary fries. Our chips are made from fresh potatoes, cut and prepared to give you that perfect home-made crunch and golden finish.
- A Menu for Everyone: Our menu is naturally inclusive and suitable for everyone, including vegans and vegetarians. Our falafel, hummus, and tahina offer a rich, protein-packed experience that has been a favourite for decades.
- The Healthy Choice: With a wide variety of crisp vegetables, fresh salads, and authentic pickles, it’s easy to create a meal that is as nutritious as it is delicious.
Customisation is King: Make It Your Way
The true ANAT experience happens at the counter. We provide the authentic ingredients, but you are the creator.
The Sauce Factor: Our sauces are the finishing touch. Whether you crave the nutty richness of Tahina, a bold kick of Chilli, or our cool and creamy Tzatziki, our sauces are crafted to enhance the fresh flavours of your customised creation.
From the first smear of hummus to the last crunch of a chip, an ANAT meal is a personalised masterpiece. It’s fresh, it’s healthy, and above all, it’s authentically yours.
