The Middle East, besides many things, has given the world the mighty shawarma rolls that are too good to resist. Meaty, succulent and delicious, shawarma is a Lebanese meat delicacy, wherein the meat is grilled for long, is finely chopped and stuffed between pita bread in a roll. It is usually served with creamy mayonnaise and a side of pickles. Delhi being the food hub of India is no stranger to the love of shawarma too.
