Best Shawarmasin Delhi

In My earlier Blog Posted  http://gourmetaffairs.blogspot.com/2011/07/foodie-delights-shawarmas-albake.html  , Talks about the Aazing Shawarmas & Delectable Non vegetarian Food available at Al Bake, New Friends Colony... One of the Biggest & most Popular Dishes at Al Bake is the Shawarma & as explaiend in my Blog Post, that Al Bake can be credited for Introducing Delhi to a Taste of Lebanese Food, although Indianised to a Great Extent & popularising Delhis Love affair with the Shawarmas

There are some Other Patrons of this Shawarmas in Delhi, which have been around for quite some time & doing pretty well .. Arabian Nites, is another such Popular Lebanese food joint, which has been serving Grilled Chicken, Shawarmas for a Long Long Time ..... One of the First Outlets, was is in Defence Colony... The Roasted Chicken is something to die for  is quite different for the Delhites palette .... The Chicken, which is very mildly spiced & marinated , is hung up on the roaster grill which rotates at a very slow speed... One can see the Juices oozing out & dropping on the Roaster furnace.... This juice gets evaporated due to the furnace heat & somehow mixes & leaves a fantastic aroma on the Chicken.. The Chicken Shawarma at AlBake is quite ok, but steeply priced though.. The Hummus & Falafel, are also good ......

Another Up & Coming Joint that promotes the Lebanese & Arab Cusine is Zaitoon.... One of the Outlets , I happened to Visit, is in Select CityWalk Mall, Saket, South Delhi... This Place is popularising the Arab Cusines & Shawarma ... It has also attempted to make the Shawarma more accessible & economical, so that a wider audience of people can try it as a light snack, by launching the Pocket Shawarma

This is how the Pocket Shawarma Looks....

While a Lot of Local Indigenous players, may also render their version of the Shawarma, but ist always best to try the authentic & the Specialists
