announced the launch of Al Mashawi Shawarma, a UAE-inspired shawarma concept
developed in-house as part of its growing B2C portfolio. Now live across multiple locations in
Bangalore, the brand marks a strategic expansion of Skope’s consumer-facing offerings
alongside its B2B kitchen infrastructure business.
Built and operated within the Skope ecosystem, Al Mashawi is a UAE-inspired shawarma
concept with authentic recipes and a proven product. The brand has been created to
address a clear gap in the city’s shawarma market, bringing a more consistent and format-
driven approach to a category that is otherwise highly fragmented.
The menu is rooted in traditional Arabic-style preparation, featuring elements such as garlic
toum, pickled vegetables, and soft kuboos bread, while also offering familiar variants like
Peri Peri and Chicken Tikka. With an accessible price point of approximately ₹400 for two,

Mashawi reflects how we approach both product and platform, while our B2B business
enables brands to expand using our infrastructure, our B2C arm allows us to build concepts
where we see strong demand but limited consistency. Shawarma as a category is widely
available, but there’s a clear gap when it comes to authentic formats delivered with
reliability.”
The brand operates on Skope Kitchens standardized kitchen systems, ensuring consistency
across locations and enabling faster scale without additional operational complexity. This
approach allows Skope Kitchens to build and expand brands in a more controlled and
efficient manner across key delivery markets.

offering city-wide delivery coverage. The brand is available on Swiggy, Zomato, and Ownly,
along with takeaway options from its kitchen locations.
