It's hard to miss the shawarma if you're living in the UAE.
00:11
Everywhere you go, you can spot a little cafeteria selling these popular wraps.
00:15
We decided to visit a few outlets with Emirati chef Khalil Mustafa in our quest for the tastiest
00:22
shawarma.
00:24
But before we begin, let's get the expert's view on how to pick a good place to eat out.
00:29
Before you select your shawarma, please make sure that all the mayonnaise, tahina sauce
00:36
and the tomatoes, whatever they are putting on the shawarma, it has to be chilled.
00:42
That is very important for the chicken shawarma and chicken shawarma has to be eaten immediately.
00:48
We cannot just keep it for one hour to get cold.
00:52
Keeping this in mind, we head over to our first stop, Automatic Restaurant in Healthcare City.
00:59
The restaurant chain was the most popular among our readers and the chef also seems
01:03
impressed.
01:04
They have used the right sauces for the chicken and lamb variety, have stuck to the original
01:09
style of shawarmas and also managed to satisfy our chef with their hygiene standards.
01:17
So Automatic seems to have done well.
01:20
Let's see how our next restaurant fares.
01:22
Al Malla on Diafer Street.
01:25
We are trying the beef shawarma.
01:28
It has onion, tomatoes, tahina sauce and chopped parsley which is giving a really special taste
01:39
here at Al Malla restaurant.
01:41
So the beef shawarma at Al Malla got a top rating from our expert.
01:46
But while he heads to the third restaurant in Dubai, let's nip over to Abu Dhabi and
01:51
find out what our reader's favourite outlet is in the capital.
01:55
When we asked readers about the best shawarma place in Abu Dhabi, they said this is it.
02:01
It's called Lebanese Flour and I decided to come and check it out for myself to ask customers
02:05
why they think it's the tastiest.
02:08
Shawarma.
02:10
Healthy, best and tasty.
02:14
Shawarma, you can eat it every day three times.
02:18
I mean it's really tasty.
02:19
Shawarma is really the best food they make here.
02:22
We've eaten all over Abu Dhabi and we eat here because we know it's healthy.
02:26
You know, it's got certain things that we like and they prepare it the way we want it.
02:31
So that's good enough for us.
02:33
I'm having shawarma here like four years ago.
02:37
Especially I come here to taste the food which is very nice and very good.
02:42
And nice quality, especially the eggs.
02:44
The food is really amazing.
02:46
The people, the price, it's very clean.
02:49
How they make, the customer. I mean the food is really tasty.
02:52
So now you know what it's like from the customers themselves.
02:55
It's tasty, healthy and authentic.
02:58
If you're ever in Abu Dhabi and feel like having some shawarma, it's definitely the place to check out.
03:03
Back in Dubai, our chef has arrived at the third and final destination, Al Faruj restaurant.
03:09
The chef tried their popular Mexican version of the shawarma and this is what he had to say.
03:15
It has good combination, the pickles is there, French fries is there and garlic mayonnaise.
03:20
But here I can find missing the tomatoes.
03:23
Chicken shawarma is having some Mexican taste.
03:26
But I find this one, it's not up to my taste.
03:29
I don't like it but I like the chicken, the natural one what they are making from Lebanese style.
03:35
So with the visits made, let's see which restaurant is our chef's favorite.
03:40
Automatic restaurant, they have the best chicken shawarma.
03:43
Crispy and tasty for the sandwich itself.
03:46
For the beef, it will be Al Malah.
03:49
It was excellent, meat very tender, very tasty.
03:52
The combination of the onions and sumac and tahini sauce was coming really fantastic.
03:58
So congratulations for Automatic restaurant and Al Malah.
04:02
And I wish inshallah everybody will come to that level.
04:05
If your appetite is now built up, why don't you head out for a quick bite of this tasty little wrap.
