Shawarma (/ ʃ ə ˈ w ɑːr m ə /; Arabic: شاورما) is a Middle Eastern dish that originated in the Levantine region during the Ottoman Empire, [1] [3] [4] [5] consisting of meat that is cut into thin slices, stacked in an inverted cone, and roasted on a slow-turning vertical spit.
The vertical rotisserie was invented in the 19th-century Ottoman Empire, and dishes such as the Arab shawarma, Greek gyros, Canadian donair, and Mexican al pastor are derived from this. [2] [3] [4] The modern sandwich variant of doner kebab originated and was popularized in 1970s West Berlin by Turkish immigrants.
English speakers from countries outside North America may also use the word kebab generally to mean the popular fast food version of the Turkish döner kebab, [65] or the related shawarma or gyros, and the sandwiches made with them, available from kebab shops as take-away meals. This usage may be found in some non-English parts of Europe as well.
