A wrap done by Middle Eastern street vendors - the recipe is surprisingly easy, not a lot of exotic ingredients, and good. The most difficult part is cutting the meat very thin! These can also be made with beef or lamb.

This recipe was a waste of time. The chicken was tough and the flavors were terrible.

I didn't like the flavor of this schwarma. It was too bland for my taste.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I would recommend it only to experienced cooks.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the flavors were good. I would recommend marinating the chicken for longer next time.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

This schwarma recipe was a hit at my last dinner party! The chicken was so tender and juicy, and the flavors were amazing. I especially loved the smoky flavor from the paprika.
