BEST SHAWARMA IN DELHI
When your friend says you can have a bite of their Shawarma and you take the biggest bite humanly possible. 😀
The middle-east has gifted a lot of things to this world and Shawarma is just one of them. The word “Shawarma” has been stemmed from a Turkish word “çevirme,” which means “turning” in reference to the rotisserie-cooked nature of the meat, which “turns” around an axis. Shawarma emanated as doner kebab, in Northeastern part of Turkey and over the past few decades it has become one of the most favorite middle-eastern street food around the globe.
One thing is pretty sure that once your tongue tastes these rolls of heaven, it’ll be left hankering for more. Are you looking for best Shawarma in Delhi? My Yellow Plate went on a Shawarma hunting spree and found these 5 places where you can devour the authentic Shawarma in your very own capital.
5. SHAWARMA WALA
Located in Kamla Nagar amongst the other to-go places in Delhi, this place sells some really good shawarma rolls and is known for its Soya and Chicken Shawarma.

4. ALATURKA SHAWARMA
This little shop located in Saket is a Turkish food joint which is known for its chicken and mutton wraps and shawarma. The chicken shawarma that My Yellow Plate chowed down here was grilled to perfection and was quite spicy but it could have been even better if the chicken was more succulent. Certainly, they serve one of the best shawarmas in Delhi.

The shawarmas served at this joint are pretty big and stomach filling. The filling contained chicken chunks instead of minced chicken with lettuce, tomatoes, mint, arabian sauce and onions. The shawarmas at this place are served with garlic sauce and turshi, a middle eastern pickle.
