Pickup, delivery, or staffed full-service available. Why Shawarma House SD Recipes carried from Iraq. Marinades built on baharat, dried lime, sumac, and toum — the deep, layered spices our family has cooked with for generations. Beef and chicken stacked tall on the vertical spit, marinated for days, slow-roasted until the edges caramelize, carved fresh to every order. The way shawarma is meant to be made. All meats halal-sourced. Full vegan menu including vegan shawarma, vegan cream chop, falafel, and hummus. Pita and a sauce are included with every protein order — no surprise charges.
