The one to order

A chicken shawarma (or two; they're small), with garlic sauce and pickles

The line to expect: A crowd at night, but they wrap one every few seconds.

A tiny stand at the Second Circle that turns out shawarma around the clock; locals have driven by for it for decades.

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.
