We Went To Mama'esh!Jan.3.2020
Everyone loves a good sandwich wrap, and if there is one that we innately think about when we think of Middle Eastern cuisine, it is undoubtedly shawarma! Shawarma is a dish in Middle Eastern cuisine consisting of meat cut into thin slices, stacked in a cone-like shape, and roasted on a slowly turning vertical rotisserie or spit. Originally made of lamb or mutton, today’s shawarma may also be chicken, turkey, beef, or veal – pair these with some garlic or tahini sauce, pickles, and french-fries, and we guarantee it will be one of the most mouthwatering things you’ve ever tasted! Keep reading to find out the top 5 restaurants in Dubai to get yourself some scrumptious shawarma right now.
