$2 Best Shawarma in Dubai 🇦🇪

I enjoyed some delicious Arabic fast food in Dubai.
My friend Trevor AKA @thefoodranger had been recommended Laffa restaurant by multiple people. They claimed it was one of the best places in Dubai to eat Shawarma, so we drove to their Al Barsha branch to see if it lived up to the hype.
It was extremely busy in the restaurant. We were fortunate to walk in and get a table straight away. Every table was occupied the whole time we were there and countless people came in to order takeaway. The waiter told us that Thursday afternoons are always very busy as people like to start the weekend in a good mood by eating some tasty shawarma. (The weekend begins on Friday in the Arab world.)
As in most shawarma joints, they have an open kitchen, so you can see all the shawarma making action. There were four massive shawarma meat stations that the chefs stood beside, slicing off thin cuts of the freshly grilled chicken and beef as the main filling for the shawarmas.
We each ordered a beef and a chicken shawarma. The broasted chicken is also a famous item at Laffa so we got some of that too, as well as a tub of freshly hummus to compliment the shawarmas.
Prices were:
Chicken Shawarma: 7 AED ($1.90 USD / £1.40 GBP)
Beef Shararma: 9 AED ($2.45 USD / £1.80 GBP)
Hummus: 10 AED ($2.72 USD / £2 GBP)
Half Broasted Chicken: 25 AED ($6.80 USD / £5.00 GBP)
Both types of shawarma were awesome. They bread was all toasted and crispy on the outside but all soft on the inside, as it soaked up the mayonnaise. The meat was high quality with no gristle, just pure tender and delicious meat.
I preferred the beef shawarma, while Trevor preferred the chicken one. However both were delicious and even more so when smothered with the thick creamy hummus.
The broasted chicken with it's thick crunchy, spicy coating was also a hit. It's made using some sort of special frying technique. I found it to be a lot less greasy than regular fried chicken but just as tasty.
I'll definitely be hitting up Laffa or a similar shawarma joint in Dubai the next time I need my fast food fix. It's much cheaper than the typical American fast food chains there and also more tasty.

I actually just discovered the channel, nice content! Fun fact tahini is made from sesame and it is actually one of the main ingredients in hummus. Also the mayo in the chicken shawarma is actually a garlic sauce… Hope you enjoy all your meals 😊
