While Mumbai swears by its Vada Pav, Ragda Patties, and Bhel Puri, one can't deny the strong influences from the neighboring countries on its palette. Chinese cuisine has for long held its own amidst the extensive range of desi favourites, as well as Middle East food, which has its loyal fan following. One such delight is the Shawarma. Call it a distant cousin of Kathi roll or a Frankie, but this Lebanese wrap of pita bread or Khubz, stuffed with generous filling of well-grilled meat, cucumber and tomatoes, and served with mayonnaise and sometimes fries is one sumptuous delicacy Mumbaikars love to indulge in.
Here are 3 places where you can find an interesting range of Shawarmas in Mumbai -
1. Carter's Blue
Running for over 17 years, Carter's Blue has made a strong name for itself in Bandra for giving out sumptuous Mediterranean delights at pocket friendly prices. However, the most hot-selling item here is their delicious Shawarma. Located at the ever-bustling Carter Road, the place is always lined with people waiting to have their hands on their signature Shawarmas. The extensive range of Shawarmas is sure to leave you spoilt for choice. Wheat Chicken Shawarma and Shawarma with Roomali Roti are good alternatives to the regular pita base.
