Similar to the Turkish döner and the Greek gyro, it's named based on the cooking technique, from the word for “turning” in Arabic. Shawarma also spelled shawurma or shawerma, is made by stacking thin slices of heavily spiced meats piled onto a spit in a cone-like shape and roasting slowly for hours on a vertical rotisserie. It's traditionally a street food that is served by carving off the cooked outside edges and stuffing them into a pita, onto rice or a salad.
