Shawarma is a popular dish that originated from the street food of Central Asia. In the Uzbek version, it is made with aromatic chicken fillet fried with soy sauce and spices. Fresh vegetables—tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and iceberg lettuce—add juiciness and lightness, while a spicy sauce made from sour cream, mayonnaise, kefir, and garlic enhances the flavor. Everything is wrapped in Armenian lavash which can be shaped like an envelope or a boat. Shawarma can be served hot with crispy golden lavash or fresh and soft soaked in sauce. It is a hearty and versatile dish perfect for a quick snack or a full meal. The taste of shawarma unfolds with rich spices and fresh ingredients creating a harmonious balance between the crispy crust and tender filling.
