👑 A Little Behind the Queen’s Shawarma…
We get asked this question all the time:
What makes your shawarma taste different?”
So I decided to start sharing a little bit of our process with you.
I’ll tell you something new every day…
But there’s one secret I’m keeping for myself. 😉
🥩 Let’s start with our Beef Shawarma.
We start with Top Round beef, sliced into thin, steak-style pieces.
Then comes the marinade.
And this is where patience matters.
Our marinade is prepared at least two days in advance before we use it. It’s made with fresh chopped onions, sesame tahini, yogurt, thyme, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and cardamom.
The beef is then marinated for 24 hours before it goes onto the shawarma spit.
We layer the meat with a blend of lamb fat, then slowly cook it on the grill, allowing the outside to develop that beautiful flavor while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
🍗 Our Chicken Shawarma has its own recipe and process.
We use orange, lemon, and fresh minced ginger, then let the chicken marinate for 24 hours before it ever reaches the grill.
Why do we take all this time?
Because at Shawarma Queen, we don’t believe shawarma should be treated like ordinary fast food.
Fresh ingredients. Real preparation. Time. Patience. And a whole lot of care.
That’s what we believe makes a difference.
And that’s why when you taste Shawarma Queen, we want you to taste something different.
👑 Tomorrow, I’ll share another part of the story…
But remember…
Every Queen has a secret. 😉👑
