Its been a while since I made a food post so here it goes. This week’s meal to remember was yesterday’s dinner which was a delicious chicken shawarma from my favorite pizza spot. It’s a family run business and I believe they are Turkish, and the lady who makes all the middle eastern dishes is very friendly and I make her laugh every time I order this dish but fail to pronounce it correctly, so whenever I call it in I ask for a Chicken Terminator and they crack up lol It isn’t a typical gyro, its middle eastern and the flavors are incredible. I love the white sauce they use even though I can barely pronounce it. Have you ever tried this dish?

@BACONSTRIPSXXX Gyros is served up in a folded pita bread slice, Shawarma usually served alone grilled with whatever sides or on top of a greek salad. All good!!!

At least they know what you mean. I am not sure I have had this version, but I have definitely had gyros and find them to be absolutely delicious.

Aye That looks like my type of food. We have a place that does kebabs and stuff here so I will ask about this one. Is the white sauce like a mint and yogurt dip It looks like a Raita bit not sure The chips look quite good as well.

No, I never tasted that dish, but it looks yummy, so I want to try it sometime. My kids often buy shawarma, but I refuse every time they offer. Next time, I will taste it for sure.
