Shawarma (/ʃəˈwɑːrmə/; Arabic: شاورما) is a Middle Eastern dish that originated in the Levant region of the Arab world during the Ottoman Empire,[1][2][3][4] consisting of meat that is cut into thin slices, stacked in an inverted cone, and roasted on a slow-turning vertical spit. Traditionally made with lamb or mutton, it may also be made with chicken, turkey, beef, or veal.[5][6][1] The surface of the rotisserie meat is routinely shaved off once it cooks and is ready to be served.[7][8] Shawarma is a popular street food throughout the Arab world and the Greater Middle East.[9][10][11][12]
