Shawarma is a beloved Middle Eastern dish made by stacking marinated slices of meat—commonly chicken, beef, lamb, or turkey—on a vertical spit, which is slowly roasted to create tender, flavorful layers. The meat is typically seasoned with a blend of spices like cumin, paprika, turmeric, and garlic, giving it a rich and savory taste. Shawarma is often served in wraps or pita bread, accompanied by fresh vegetables, pickles, and sauces such as tahini or garlic sauce. Nutritionally, shawarma is a good source of protein and can include fiber from added veggies. However, it can also be high in calories, sodium, and fats, especially when paired with creamy sauces or fried sides. Healthier options include choosing whole-grain wraps, skipping heavy sauces, or enjoying it as a salad. Shawarma’s global appeal lies in its versatility and robust flavor, making it a satisfying meal or snack across various diets.
