You know you are a connoisseur of Middle-Eastern cuisine when you can taste and differentiate between Souvlaki, Gyro, Doner Kebap, Kafta Kebab, Shish Tawook and Shawarma, and trace these to the lands they originate from.

Veranda:Authentic Shawarma from Lebanon in Dallas

Having lived in Israel for over a year, my wife and I have learnt to appreciate the delicacy of Middle-Eastern cuisine. One of the dishes that has been unforgettable is the Shawarma which in essence, is a rack of lamb-beef combination, grilled on a vertical rotisserie and then sliced off periodically as cooked. The moist yet well cooked meat goes extremely well with Pita or flat bread, especially with some hummus or baba ghanoush and a touch of hot sauce on the side....oh la la la!:-)
