FAQs

  • Shawarma (also known as “guss”) is a type of spiced meat found in Middle Eastern cuisine that is grilled or cooked slowly on a vertical broiler. Serving style differs between countries (and restaurants). Depending on the region, shawarma can be served on a plate with vegetables or wrapped in a pita with garnishes such as tahini, pickled turnip, hummus and garlic sauce.

    At Tigris Shawarma, we serve our shawarma in “dinner” form with rice and vegetables, as well as in “pocket bread” known as samoon with garlic sauce as its preferred pairing. Our vegetable selection is based on the Canadian palate.

  • Falafel is a vegetarian Middle Eastern food made up of ground chick peas (or in some cases, fava beans, or both) and mixed with seasonings. They are formed in either a patty or ball shape and deep fried. Like shawarma, falafel differs in serving style and toppings across regions.

    At Tigris Shawarma, we serve our falafel in samoon and in individual pieces. Try it with amba sauce!
