Traditional Shawarma in Calgary
Traditional Shawarma is one of the Popular Dishes at Mazaj Mediterranean Cuisine, our downtown Calgary Lebanese-Mediterranean restaurant on 7 Avenue SW. It is our classic take on the dish, prepared in the traditional Lebanese style.
About Our Traditional Shawarma
Shawarma is prepared by stacking thin, marinated layers of meat on a vertical spit and roasting them slowly, so the outside caramelizes while the inside stays juicy; the meat is then shaved thin to order. It is one of the signature dishes of Lebanese and wider Mediterranean cuisine.
Our Traditional Shawarma is Mazaj’s classic version of the dish, prepared the traditional way and listed among the Popular Dishes on our menu. Local listings report that the meat served at Mazaj is halal, although this has not been independently certified.
What Makes Our Traditional Shawarma Special
