Shuarma, also known as shawarma, is a popular Middle Eastern dish made from marinated meat—typically chicken, lamb, or beef—slowly cooked on a vertical rotisserie. The tender, flavorful meat is shaved off and commonly served in pita bread or flatbreads, accompanied by fresh vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, and onions. Traditional toppings include tahini, garlic sauce, or hummus, adding richness to the dish. While shuarma is rich in protein due to the lean meat, its nutritional value depends on preparation methods and portion size. Grilled meat and fresh vegetables make it a good source of essential nutrients. However, high-fat sauces, excess oil in marinades, or oversized portions can increase calorie and fat content, making it less healthy if consumed in excess. Choosing whole-grain bread and lighter sauces can improve its nutritional profile, making shuarma a satisfying and balanced meal option.
