Etymology

The word 'shawarma' has its roots in Turkish and Arabic, with 'รงevirme' (meaning 'turning') in Turkish and 'shฤwurma' in Arabic both referring to the rotating cooking method used for the meat. Shawarma has a long history dating back to the 18th century in the Ottoman Empire, where it was traditionally made with lamb. Over time, variations in meat and seasonings have evolved, leading to the diverse range of shawarma options available today.
