Beef and Lamb Shawarma is a Middle Eastern dish renowned for its bold, savory flavors and satisfying texture. Thinly sliced beef and lamb are marinated in a blend of spices like cumin, coriander, paprika, and garlic, then slow-roasted on a vertical rotisserie. The tender, juicy meat is commonly served in pita or flatbread alongside toppings such as fresh vegetables, pickles, and creamy tahini or garlic sauces. Rich in protein and essential nutrients like iron and zinc from the meat, shawarma delivers energy while supporting muscle and immune health. However, its calorie count can rise depending on portion size and added condiments. While the dish provides beneficial fats from olive oil and tahini, excessive use of oils or sauces may contribute to higher saturated fat and sodium levels. Choose whole-grain pita and plenty of fresh veggies to enjoy a balanced version of this flavorful street food favorite.
