We’re diving into everything you need to know about classic chicken shawarma, from its flavorful history to the ingredients and, of course, where to get the best one around.
Let’s get started!
First, let’s take a stroll back to where chicken shawarma all began in the sizzling, vibrant streets of the Middle East.
It was right here, in the busy markets, that marinated meats were carefully stacked onto vertical spits. As the spit turned slowly over the heat, the delicious spices soaked deep into the meat, making it tender and packed with flavor.
Shawarma’s unique combination of spices and perfectly cooked meat made it impossible to keep confined to the markets of its origin. Over time, this delicious treat made its way to Maryland (lucky us!).
Maryland quickly fell in love, because who wouldn’t?
With our foodie culture, love for bold, authentic meals, and an obsession with anything that brings delicious flavor, shawarma wraps slid right into our hearts.
Now, restaurants like AndShawarma are spicing things up, serving that classic goodness with fresh ingredients like garlic sauces, creamy tzatziki, and soft, fresh pita.
