A new Middle Eastern street food restaurant has opened in Bristol city centre.
Twinkle Shawarma has opened in the Broadmead kiosk formerly home to Subway, which did not reopen after the first lockdown in March 2020.
Customers can choose from lamb, chicken or halloumi to fill their wraps, with prices ranging from £6 up to £8.

Twinkle also serves tortillas and samoon - a dish popular in Iraq, where Nameer Yousif is from.
After working at Five Guys in Cardiff for the past 10 years, the 35-year-old wanted to launch his own business.
"The kiosk had been open for over a year so I wanted to take it on and bring something new to the city centre," he said.
"It's really nice to be up and running and people are enjoying the food so far. Customers love the special marinade we have on our chicken and lamb.
"These are authentic shawarma wraps you'd expect to find in the Middle East, in countries like Iraq, Syria and Jordan."
Nameer added the wraps make a "big and filling lunch" even for those who order the smaller of the two options.
The bread for the wraps and samoon are baked by Nameer and his team.
"Lots of people have recommended us to their friends already and some customers are returning already," added Nameer.
"People tell us our food is delicious and that's the most important thing for me."
