Shawarma isn’t just street food anymore.
Middle Eastern aficionados take their shawarma seriously, and nowhere is this more evident than in Tel Aviv. A quick lunch option, this tasty delicacy of roasted meat cooked on a revolving spit, then shaved for serving in sandwiches has now taken on a gourmet flair. And the debate rages: Should it be served with or without hummus? Lamb, turkey, or veal? With or without amba and spice? Inside pita, a baguette or laffa (large flat bread)? Here are some of the top places, from street vendors to fancy eateries, where you can decide for yourself.
