New to Shawarma? A First-Timer’s Guide to Ordering in Elmira
Plenty of people in Elmira have walked past a shawarma restaurant and wondered what to order. If that is you, this guide takes the guesswork out of your first visit to Mr. Shawarma & Grill on Arthur Street South.
What shawarma is. Shawarma is marinated meat stacked on a vertical rotisserie, slow-roasted, then shaved off in thin slices. The edges get crisp and every order is sliced fresh.
Step 1: Pick your meat. Chicken is the most popular first order and goes perfectly with garlic sauce. Beef is richer and pairs well with tahini.
Step 2: Pick your style. A wrap is rolled in warm pita, ideal on the go. A plate comes with rice, salad and hummus for a full sit-down meal. A bowl layers everything in one container, easy to eat at a desk.
Step 3: Toppings. Most people go with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and pickles. Try the pickles, because they cut through the richness of the meat.
Step 4: Sauces. Garlic sauce is the classic. Tahini is nutty and mellow. Hot sauce is there if you want heat. Ask for sauce on the side if you are taking your order to go.
Step 5: Add a side. Fries with a cup of garlic sauce are a favourite. Hummus and pita are great to share.
A safe first order: a chicken shawarma wrap with garlic sauce and pickles, plus fries.
