Thin slices of marinated meat stacked on a vertical spit, roasted slowly and shaved off as they crisp: shawarma is the street food of the Levant and the cousin of the Turkish doner.
Chicken shawarma is marinated in garlic, lemon and spices and served with toum, a fluffy garlic sauce; beef and lamb versions go with tahini. In a wrap the meat is rolled in thin bread with pickles and sometimes fries inside. As a plate it comes over rice with salad, hummus and pita, and the bowl format is popular for lunch. Mushroom shawarma is the vegetarian option.
Lamb and mixed plates cost more than a chicken wrap. At the Middle Eastern places on SemFood, from $8.49 to $42.99.
