 The shawarma meat is sliced and marinated and then roasted on a huge rotating skewer.The cooked meat is shaved off and stuffed into a pita, plainly with hummus and tahina, or with additional trimmings such as fresh or fried onion rings, French fries, salads and pickles.More upscale restaurant versions are served on an open flat bread, a "lafa", with steak strips, flame roasted eggplant and salads.
