Shawerma

Chicken, lamb, or veal meat that’s placed on a continuously rotating spit so that the meat roasts on all sides. The meat is then sliced off and either served on a plate or in wrapped Arabic pita bread as a sandwich. Tahina, pickles and lettuce are traditional additions.

Riyash

Lamb chops marinated, and then grilled. The popularity of this particular grilled meat lies in the fact that the bone makes an excellent handle for chomping. Origin: Lebanese

Origin: The Levant. (Bilad Al Sham)

Döner Kebap

The döner meat is shaved off the pit thinner than the shawerma and thus ends up being crispier. It’s also served in a fat bun-shaped Turkish bread instead of wrapped, and with sumac, tomato, onion and chili. Spread the yogurt on top of the döner.

Kofta is the Arabic answer to meatballs. Made of ground lamb mixed with spices, diced onions, or tomatoes, kofta is usually served in its juices or in a gravy or tomato sauce. Origin: Iraq, Syria
