The Authentic Shawarma

Chicken shawarma at Diwani Al-Bukhari at City Center Food Court.

If you want the best dimsum, you go to China. If you want real pizza , then Italy is the place to go. For an authentic taste of shawarma, well, nobody does it better than the Arabians.

In combination with a tin can of Pepsi, a shawarma meal costs QR 6.

Here in Qatar, my favorite chicken shawarma is made by Diwani Al-Bukhari restaurant, a small food stall at the 3rd Floor of City Center Doha Food Court near the cinemas. One shawarma sandwich costs QR 4. It's perhaps the cheapest lunch available in town depending on how much you eat in one meal. One piece will do me just fine.

One skewer grilles chicken meat while the other on the left grilles beef.
