Shawarma is a famous Arab dish where meat (chicken, lamb, beef and even camel or duck) is cut into slices and stacked in a cone-like shape. It is then slowly roasted on a turning vertical rotisserie. The meat is stuffed and served with pita bread that is slathered with sauces, pickled vegetables and even french fries.
It is one of the popular and common snacks to grab in Qatar. We asked the ILoveQatar.net (ILQ) community via social media what their go-to shawarma place in Qatar is and the following list is based on their recommendations (in alphabetical order).
