With my final day in Oman upon me, I knew I had to go on an endless shawarma tour during my last few hours in Muscat! Come with me as I try a bunch of different varieties!
My guide Mahfoodh at Oman Travel and I would be hitting up four local spots, starting at Al Karawan Al Turki, one of the top shawarma spots in Muscat. They sell a mix of Turkish and Arabic shawarma. I met a pair of employees from India. One of them was from Hyderabad!

There, we watched them cook and shave the chicken shawarma off the spit. They add fries, lettuce, a Turkish sauce, some chicken grease, and a creamy sauce to a warm pita.
At our table, Mahfoodh and I had our small chicken shawarmas and a plate of toum (garlic paste). We added a bit of toum and a piece of chili, as well as a few drops of hot sauce. I loved the soft pita bread. It wasn’t too spicy, and the toum was fantastic. Then, I added a whole chili to it to make it spicier!
We washed it down with some water. They were so kind and didn’t charge us at all! Then, we headed to our next restaurant, Filful, which was Lebanese. There, we met up with my friend and guide Ahmed.
Filful is one of the best places for Lebanese shawarma. They have beef, chicken, and lamb, and also sell an amazing rose drink. Inside, the restaurant felt very Lebanese. I saw some kaak bread and lamb pies called laham bi ajeen, which are also known as sfeeha. I ate some delicious ones in Baalbek!
They also had sabanekh (sour spinach pies), and manakish (small, pizza-like pastries with za’atar and cheese). In the kitchen, we watched the shawarmas cook, and they made us a rose lemonade. It was citrusy and refreshing with a nice rose flavor. It was the best lemonade I’ve ever had!
Then, they built our shawarmas with toum, lettuce, tomatoes, and fries. They also made us some tabbouleh and hummus. They added chickpeas, basil, and olive oil to the hummus. They also baked us fresh bread and gave us some lettuce.
The garlic, fries, spice, and chicken in the chicken shawarma were all fantastic. I added pomegranate molasses to give it some sweetness. I also loved adding the tabbouleh to the lettuce. The tomatoes and parsley really popped! The hummus had some spice to it and was great with bread.
The beef shawarma was perfect by itself. The parsley, tahini, and beef were an amazing combination. I liked it better than the chicken! Then, I headed back into the kitchen to watch them make nutella kaak. They cut it in half and spread the inside with nutella and bake it in the forno.
Then, they sprinkle grated hazelnut on it and then make it a sandwich with the other half of the kaak. It took me back to my childhood. I loved the nutella, sesame seeds, and hazelnut!
Our next stop was Baba Salem Turkish Food, the top rated spot on Trip Advisor. They have a massive shararma on a spit there. It was wider than my body! I’d never seen on that big! It feeds 3,000 people!
Here, they mix beef and chicken. They lets me shave some of the chicken off. The guy even fed me some, which was incredible. They also had some massive, 2-meter-long bread, a lamb bread, and kebabs!
Mahfoodh and I loved the creamy, spicy sauce. The crispy pita, creamy garlic, and mix of chicken and beef were amazing. Adding peppers was really good.
Finally, we stopped at Fairoz Cafe, where they made toasted chicken shawarma on lavash with toum and Omani chips. I loved the crunchy texture and the creamy garlic and mayo.
What an incredible shawarma tour in Muscat!
