Great shawarma/shoarma's in Amsterdam. As with homemade tikka though, the meat really needs a charcoal flavour to make it special, regardless of the recipe. Imo

Ghoulie,

Many thanks for the shawarma recipe :D

The best shawarma I've eaten was in Abu Nawas in Al Khobar, Saudi.

A huge plate with moist succulent lamb, beautiful sauce, coriander and pickled vegetables.

I've tried several shawarma in uk restaurants but nothing matches the food in the ME!

Made this recipe tonight, using chicken.  Very tasty. Thanks again for the recipe... will be making this again.

Wrapped in hot roti bread with tomato, onion, fresh coriander, garlic mayo AND the tahini sauce.

Made a scaled down version of the tahini sauce, but added a little ketchup, worcestershire sauce, chilli sauce, sugar, and extra lemon juice.  Made it more tangy to compiment the garlic mayo. Delicious.

The garlic mayo I made from regular mayo, but mixed in some garlic powder, and added a tadka of finely chopped garlic in olive oil.  Also delicious.

This recipe would be even better with Lamb.

Sainsbury's have the tahini (sesame seed paste) at 1.75 ish 180g jar.

Just need the lamb and black lime.

A trip to know what we are aiming at got to be next. Sounds like 3 to go so far.

shawarma  related ;)

A New Lebanese place opened beside me, So a try out was called for.

Went for a Mixed Shawarma Meal, 10quid on Take Out.

I always feel its best to be drunk as a skunk, when you order this type of food.
Unfortunately I was sober, needless to say, it tasted nearly OK but nothing to write home about
and most of it was recycled into the wheelie bin.

Might try again when I

Hilarious, CT! Best belly laugh today! Commiserations about the takeaway, but I like your style! :)

I've been there before with late night kebabs (haven't we all).  Taste so much better when you've had a few/loads beers.  When sober, best to cook it for yourself. But the smell coming from the takeaway smells SOOO good.
