What is Shawarma? 

Shawarma is a dish with origins in the Middle East that consists of layers of marinated meat, traditionally cooked on a spit. It cooks slowly, yielding delicious spiced results. It’s commonly served in a pita along with vegetables, pickles, and a variety of sauces. It’s very similar to gyro meat, which is a Greek dish consisting typically of beef, lamb, or pork. The difference between the two lies in the spices used to flavor the meat, and how the end result is served.
