    I know pretty much nobody will end up buying the rotisserie machine, but if you'd still like to make shawarma, the youtube channel Middle Eats has an excellent video with a few suggestions on how to make shawarma or any other kebab style meat with pretty minimal equipment in the oven (great channel overall for anyone who wants to try any traditional Arab dishes btw). The results are pretty great and I no longer go to shawarma/kebab spots and instead make it at home. As Joshua pointed it out, it's a pretty great meal for family or even a group of friends coming over.

    As an ex-shawarma chef, I gotta chime in.
    Thank you for making toum correctly. Tired of seeing people add egg whites!
    Now I know this is a Turkish/Lebanese combo, but there are elements in here I've never seen before.
    From a Lebanese stand point:
    For our rice, we don't put orzo. We put in vermicelli noodles.
    For pickles, we use pickled turnips for chicken, and green wild cucumber for the beef. No other pickles.
    For veggies, we use (fresh) tomatoes for chicken and a parsley and onion mix for beef.
    And lastly for the chicken, we marinate it in yoghurt because yoghurt makes everything better.
    I recommend coming to Detroit or even Ottawa Canada, or Montreal, to try some amazing shawarma. Better than anything you'll find the avengers eating in New York for sure 😆

    As a Türk, I have a couple comments.
    Cacık is often made by adding water to what you made and served in a bowl to drink alongside the meal
    Helva made from flour is the least exciting of all helvas. It is much better made from semolina.
    Bazlama is often thicker and much harder to wrap things in. Flat bread used to wrap things is called pide, and the thinner one is called lavaş
    Optionally adding kaşar cheese, raw onions or yoğurt+mayo+garlic sauce to the wrap could improve the flavor.
    Raw meatballs would be a great addition to the table. They are made with bulgur, lots of spice and optionally raw meat. Served with lettuce leaves and pomegranate sauce, or optionally as a wrap.

    I want to give a round of applause to you as a Turk. Most of these dishes were accurately made and only few pieces were differently made than what I personally am used to. My mom personally doesn’t make gözleme with garlic and I also haven’t seen a restaurant do that, it still looks good though. Cacik was made well, don’t really have anything to say about that. Most of the times our shawarma isn’t made with garlic and onion in the middle but some might do it like that. We normally don’t eggyolk the bazlama and just let it kind of cook on a superhit pan for like 30seconds. The helwa/helva was done really well but it isn’t the only helva and there are more interesting flavors is what I personally think. All and all a great video with great things!

    Hey Josh, love your vids! I've been watching them for a couple years but am going to comment on this one because it's shawarma. I'm from Ottawa, Canada arguably one of the biggest shawarma places in the world, where we have basically more shawarma shops than McDonalds here. For me, the two most crucial elements of the shawarma is the toum (garlic sauce) and nice rotisserie chicken shavings that are crispy and browned on the outside and juicy and amazing on the inside. I think you nailed both in this video so hats off to you my man.
    Being picky, my only two things would be that most of the good shawarma spots here actually use pita rather than flatbread (which is more of a gyro thing in Ottawa from my experience); however, I know a lot of authentic recipes use flatbread so it doesn't really matter. Also the big "pickled-shawarma-vegetable" around Ottawa is pickled turnip (my personal fav), but glad you included a pickled element (cucumbers, carrots, pepper).
    Good job dude, I'm tired of all the shawarma recipes/shops out there with mayonnaise or sour cream based garlic sauces and chicken that is not in the form of beautiful rotisserie style shavings. 10/10

    We add oranges and their zest to our shawarma marination. Also, when marinating shawarmas try as much as possible to stay away from dark seasonings. For example, instead of black pepper, use white pepper. You want your shawarma meat white, not dark looking. Yogurt is a must if you want tender juicy chicken.
    As for the garlic sauce, we do ours with corn starch. It’s a bit different than the Lebanese version, but much creamier I find.
    Great video!

    Thank you. You have conveyed some of the types of Arabic food that there is no similar diversity and strength in taste and spices. But Thom is present in all Arab countries and has several types in Lebanon and Syria. It can consist of an egg or more, depending on the quantity, with two small pieces of garlic, some lemon juice, and oil is added gradually in the form of a thin thread until it becomes creamy. Try it. It is with meat the best thing, and it is also possible for people. Those who do not eat eggs can add some cooked starch instead of eggs or water from a can of chickpeas, all of which are many types, and each country has a taste as it is. Shawarma differs from one country to another. Thank you again and we are enjoying your channel
