Which is Dubai's BEST SHAWARMA?🔥 Dubai STREET FOOD Challenge 🔥LAFFAH VS BELAD AL SHAM 🇸🇾
WHICH IS DUBAI'S BEST SHAWARMA? LAFFAH OR BELAD AL SHAM? I went on a dubai street food challenge with Harry @thehealchef to judge which Shawarma is better.
We judged the Shawarma on Bread, Garlic Sauce, Value for Money and Overall Flavour & Quality. Which one is going to come out on top?
The first restaurant we visited was @laffahrestaurant7697 in Sharjah, one of the most popular Syrian Shawarma restaurants in the UAE. We tried their Chicken Shawarma, Beef Shawarma, Broasted Chicken and Crinkle Cut Potato Fries.
A huge thank you to Harry, be sure to follow him on social @Thehealchef on IG and TikTok.
Our next stop was Belad Al Sham in Qusais, another Syrian Shawarma restaurant which has been popular for many years. We ordered their Chicken Shawarma and Mexican Chicken Shawarma (spicy).
BUT....WHERE SHOULD WE GO NEXT?
--------------
In the last 12 months the Dubai food market has completely changed, while you can still find excellent authentic Emirati and Arabic street food, Dubai has also launched some incredible new local restaurant brands and concepts.
But with over 10,000 restaurants in Dubai alone, it can be very difficult to find the must try food in Dubai, the hidden gems, the local street food and the best of the best food.
In these Dubai food vlogs I will tell you exactly where to go, what to order and how much it will cost you. We will try Indian Food, Arabic Food, Japanese Food and many more.

Dubai's best shawarma is hands down Sultan Arab's juicy meat and chicken shawarmas! Comes in so many sizes, right from the regulars to the mind boggling 1 metre, packed with juicy tender meat it's perfect and reasonable too! It surely deserves some recognition!

Respect to you guys … a lot of shawarmas out there but the spices and the marinate is a real key, and with garlic getting more expensive and oils getting more expensive, a lot of restaurants will go to lower qualities and change recipes… good luck to your hunt 🌶

5000 shwarma a day means 150000 a month. If they make profit even a dollar per sharwma. They make around 💰1.5 million from that point in annually. That is actually huge, consider they have many such points.

@Just Food I am just going to reply to you under my brothers comment, I am a Shawarma freak, are you willing to go out of Dubai to try Shawarma from other Emirate ? Laffah is the only best place in Dubai, hands down, their garlic is on point, you get the best taste if you order normal size shawarma, the big size is dry in between, if you tell them special shawarma, they will serve you with the chicken on top. If you want spicy, let them know, they will serve you with spicy garlic sauce, at least the one in Sahara center mall Laffah branch did. You might also want to try Al Hallab Restaurant & Sweets, they server Lebanese style shawarma in pita bread. Below are the list of places you should try for even amazing taste of shawarma: Abu Dhabi: Bait El Khetyar, Muallim Hassan Restaurant, Zahrat Lebnan I went on Shawarma spree with my brothers Tariq and Ammar, who I am commenting under, because for some reason my comment is disappearing, here is a glimpse of shawarmas we had from above three restaurants in Abu Dhabi, instagram.com/p/BvpXXm5joX3/ Al Ain: Al Areesh
