Shaurma, a beloved street food staple, is a savory dish featuring thinly sliced cuts of meat, such as chicken, lamb, or beef, stacked in a cone-like shape and roasted on a slowly-turning vertical rotisserie. As the outer layers cook to a perfect crispness, they are shaved off and served, often wrapped in a flatbread with a variety of accompaniments.

Originating in the Middle East, shaurma has traveled across continents, evolving with local tastes and ingredients, becoming a global phenomenon. Each region adds its unique twist, making shaurma a versatile dish that caters to a wide range of palates.
