Found this restaurant in Khalifa Street, few steps away from Al Falah Plaza. They are selling one of my favourites.......shawarma. Yummy! (am salivating hehehe). It is quite different from the Turkish shawarma that I used to buy in one of the food stalls in MRT Ayala station in the Philippines ( don't know if it is still there).
Middle eastern shawarma is a sandwich-like wrap of shaved meat (usually chicken, beef or lamb) dressed with garlic sauce or hummus; with potatoes, pickles, and tomatoes. Best eaten with khuboz (arabic bread) that wraps the shaved meat. Here in Al Arish Restaurant, it is usually served with freshly squeezed fruit juices.

Word of the day: mat'am is the arabic word for restaurant.
Will visit your blogs tomorrow. Need to get ready for my 3rd night shift later. Salaam to all!
Hello neighbor. My mouth is watering in this moment. I need to find a good shawarma place here in Dubai. Until now everything i've tasted it was crap.

ReplyDeleteSounds similar to something Greek that I know about, with lamb only, the gyro!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful. We have a few middle eastern places around here that let us sample such wonderful things!

ReplyDeleteMmmm, that's the real stuff! Here, we have a lot of pakistani run places, where you can only find the turkish kind, strangely enough.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed having shawarma here in California, at a restaurant run by a man from Syria, and some Greek restaurants sell a similar meal, which they call gyros.
ReplyDeleteDelicious.
