The origins of shawarma can be traced back to ancient times, with influences from the ancient tradition of grilling meat on skewers in the Middle East. Its popularity has spread worldwide, especially in Arab countries. It consists of layers of marinated meat cooked slowly. It is traditionally served in pita bread or wrapped in flatbread, accompanied by sauces, vegetables, and seasonings. Shawarma has become an iconic street food dish and is appreciated for its delicious and distinctive flavour.

The chicken:
