dining whats on Ten To Try: Shawarma
Ten To Try: Shawarma
Updated on 03 July 2023

When in the UAE, one of the dishes that is always a must-try is shawarma. 

The popular Middle Eastern dish is made by roasting meat on a vertical rotisserie, which is then cut into thin slices. Commonly made with chicken or mutton, the meat is served in Arabic or saj bread and topped with garlic sauce, fries, pickles and more.

Based on the cuisine of the restaurant, the dish is made in various ways, with some also opting to add cucumbers and fresh leaves to the shawarmas.

The origins of the iconic dish can be traced back to the Ottoman Empire during the 19th century. It is from there, that shawarmas originated from along with gyros, a common dish in Greece.

There are so many hidden gems across the UAE that serve amazing shawarmas, and if on the lookout, here are some amazing spots that Discover Dubai has sought out.

Belad Al Sham

Belad Al Sham in Al Quasis is a great place to check out when looking for delicious shawarmas to tantalise the tastebuds. Delight in meat and chicken options, wrapped with all the trimmings, the dish is also available as an open shawarma, where diners can customise to their liking. Also, enjoy innovative options from chicken shawarma with hummus to Italian shawarma.
