The one to order

A chicken shawarma with garlic sauce, and a fresh juice

The line to expect: Busy late at night; tables on the street.

A Lebanese café open for decades, where Dubai comes for shawarma on the pavement after midnight.

Chicken shawarma wrap with garlic sauce (toum)

Chicken shawarma wrap with garlic sauce (toum)

40 min, plus 4 hr marinating · 6 wraps. Spiced, lemony chicken thighs roasted hot and sliced thin, rolled in thin bread with toum (whipped garlic sauce), pickles and fries, then toasted so the wrap crisps. Amman, Dubai and Berlin's kebab counters all start here.
