Fried shawarma is a flavorful dish rooted in Middle Eastern cuisine, combining tender, marinated slices of chicken, beef, or lamb with aromatic spices like cumin, turmeric, and paprika. Traditionally cooked on a vertical rotisserie, the meat is here uniquely pan-fried or deep-fried to achieve a crispy texture. It is often served in flatbread, like pita or lavash, and accompanied by fresh vegetables, pickles, and creamy sauces such as tahini or garlic aioli. While rich in protein and offering a diversity of nutrients from the spices and veggies, fried shawarma can be high in calories and fat due to the frying process and optional toppings like mayonnaise or cheese. For a healthier option, pair fried shawarma with a side of greens instead of fries or reduce added sauces. It’s a satisfying, indulgent treat loved by street food enthusiasts worldwide.
