My thoughts:

Not quite a traditional shawarma, shawarm-ish is simply how I'd brand shawarma if I ruled the shawarma-making world. Yogurt-marinated chicken thighs, a fleck of heat, tzatziki-esque cucumber salad, steal pita (easier to abide by than lavash) as well as grilled on skewers vs a spit. After all, pretty much every province has their ain variation on shawarma (which technically simply refers to the technique used when cooking the meat but colloquially refers the sandwich every bit well) as well as therefore why non me? This 1 is slow to produce at domicile as well as quick too. If y'all can't grill, broil the meat instead.
