This much-loved Middle Eastern favourite is made by slow-roasting meat on a vertical rotisserie, then slicing it thin and wrapping it in warm Arabic or saj bread. Whether made with tender chicken or flavourful mutton, it’s usually topped with creamy garlic sauce, crunchy pickles, fries, and sometimes fresh greens or cucumbers for an extra bite. Shawarma’s rich history dates back to the Ottoman Empire in the nineteenth century, and it later inspired dishes like the Greek gyro. Today, it’s a street food staple enjoyed across the region, each version with its own special twist depending on the chef or the eatery.
