A perfectly balanced blend of spices and contrasts. While shawarma is traditionally a meat dish originating from the Arab countries, it works beautifully with planted chicken that has been marinated (ideally overnight). All rolled up in a large durum flatbread approx. 30 cm in diameter. The French fries inside are delicious and a must. Ideally, they should be deep-fried, however you can also use oven fries.
