Shawarma is the deeply marinated layers of beef, lamb or chicken stacked on a vertical spit and slowly turning  against a soft grilling fire for hours. after cooking the meat is then shredded and wrapped in a pita bread, Tahini sauce (beef shawarma) and other goodies such as  tomatoes, onions, and  pickles, and vegetables of your choice.
