Shawarma is a popular Levantine Arab meal made of thinly sliced beef layered in a cone-like shape and cooked on a vertical rotisserie or spit that rotates slowly. Shawarma was originally made with lamb, mutton, or chicken, but it is now mostly produced with beef, chicken and donair (mixture of beef and lam. As it turns, thin slices of the cooked surface are shaved away. Shawarma is a famous street snack throughout the Middle East, particularly in Egypt, the Levant, the Arabian Peninsula, and the rest of the Middle East.
