Moscow is one of the largest cities in the world where life is in full swing. More than 12 million people live here permanently, and this number is increasing daily. It is logical that in the capital everything happens so quickly that sometimes a person simply does not have the opportunity to have a normal lunch. What to do in such situations? There are many options, but one of the most acceptable is the purchase of shawarma.
In this short article, we will discuss in detail several restaurants and cafes where the best shawarma in Moscow is available for order, find out their work schedules and exact addresses, as well as many other useful information. Let's get started now!
What is shawarma?
Probably, not every Muscovite has ever heard such words as “shaverma”, “shavarma”, “shuarma”, “shaorma”, “doner kebab” and “dener kebab”. You will not believe that each of the listed words is the name of the same dish - classical shawarma, which we will talk about today in this article.
So, shawarma is a dish of Middle Eastern cuisine of Arab origin, which consists of pita bread or pita, as well as the filling. What can be a part of a shawarma? There must be meat (chicken, veal, lamb, pork and so on), because this is the main ingredient. In addition, you can not add cabbage or other vegetables, a variety of sauces, spices and more. This gorgeous dish is used without any appliances, but it doesn’t cost so much, so everyone can afford to buy and try shaorma.
Today we will not write down the recipe for shawarma, because our main task is to discuss the best places where everyone can eat shawarma in Moscow.
