Jamhoori Shawarma

Jamhoori Shawarma is a savory Middle Eastern dish featuring thinly sliced, marinated meat—commonly beef, chicken, or lamb—cooked on a vertical rotisserie. The meat is seasoned with aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, paprika, and garlic, resulting in a rich and tantalizing flavor.

As the meat rotates and cooks slowly, it becomes tender and juicy. The outer layers are shaved off and traditionally served in flatbreads such as pita or laffa. Common accompaniments include fresh vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce, along with sauces such as tahini, tzatziki, or garlic sauce. This combination offers a harmonious blend of tender, spiced meat, crisp vegetables, and creamy sauces.

Enjoyed by people from diverse backgrounds, Jamhoori Shawarma can be customized to individual tastes and is popular worldwide as a delicious street food.
