I live in Hyderabad and shawarma here is a classic cheap Lebanese fusion. its usually rolled in either a samoli bun (french bun), rumali roti, or khubz. all these versions have the same flow, with salad and without salad. the salad ones are typically the b graded ones with kheera and shredded cabbage. that shit is horrible. like its bad when you get the bite of kheera, it destroys it. the kheera is not even de-seeded and its in a way dripping with water. the non-salad is just with extra chicken and a lot of mayo. talking about the mayo, it’s not even the classic garlic sauce, rather a typical mayo spread with a Lil garlic flavored. that’s it. if you ask for extra, the sauce bottles contain low-quality ketchup and the same mayo spread without the garlic. after they prepare your roll they either microwave the shawarma or just grill it on a Tava. this breaks the emulsification and the oil gets separated. all you have now is an oily roll bidding you farewell.there are places that do serve the classic ones with toum, tahini, pickled cucumbers, lettuce, and other authentic stuff. what I mentioned is what you get in a typical shawarma place. people love it for some reason. fuck em ?
