CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) - Wednesday is National Shawarma Day, which celebrates the Middle Eastern rotisserie method of cooking meats such as lamb, chicken, and beef, and the dishes it makes.

The National Day Calendar states that shawarma chicken is marinated in Mediterranean herbs and spices and is cooked slowly on a vertical rotisserie spit. The meat is then sliced thin, grilled, and added to a pita wrap with multiple different toppings, such as vegetables, cheese, and herbs. Shawarma also tastes great on a salad, rice or fries.

National Shawarma Day was founded in 2020 to celebrate the Middle Eastern flavors offered in delicious shawarma. To celebrate, Yelp has put together a list of the top places to get shawarma in western Massachusetts: • Amanouz Cafe - 44 Main Street, Northampton
