About Shawarma

Shawarma is thinly cut, seasoned and marinated meat, traditionally lamb or mutton and now often chicken, beef or turkey. It is stacked on a slowly turning vertical spit, and the outer layer is shaved off as it cooks. As a wrap, it is rolled in pita, lavash or another flatbread. Fillings vary by region, for example tomato, cucumber, onion and pickles, with garlic sauce (toum) or a tahini-based sauce.

Also known as shaurma or shoarma.

What changes the numbers

  • Sauce type and amount. Garlic sauce is mostly fat: one US chain lists 154 kcal per 1 oz, 151 of them from fat, against 71 kcal for tahini sauce and 22 kcal for s'khug hot sauce. An extra portion of garlic sauce adds far more than a hot sauce.[3]
  • Wrap size. There is no standard size. Four vendor shawarmas bought in Almaty weighed 353–429 g and held 693–914 kcal each, and 20 doner kebab sandwiches and piadinas (a vertical-spit relative) sampled in Italy ranged from 274 g to 618 g.[1]
  • Choice of meat. At one US chain, 4 oz of chicken shawarma is listed at 200 kcal and 10 g fat, versus 280 kcal and 18 g fat for 4 oz of steak.[3]
  • Bread and add-ins. The bread is a large share: the same chain lists one 3.7 oz pita at 260 kcal, more than its 4 oz of chicken (200 kcal). Fries, a common add-in for chicken shawarma, add more: the chain lists 4 oz of fries at 360 kcal.[3]

How to log it

Log shawarma by weight, not as “one wrap”: weigh it whole or use the weight on the pack. A vendor wrap can be nearly twice the size of a supermarket one. Log extra garlic sauce or fries as separate entries.
