Shawarma Delivery in Doha

Every restaurant above delivers, directly by phone or WhatsApp and on the apps. Direct is usually a few riyals cheaper. Shawarma travels badly if it sits, so order from the nearest counter that is open, and ask for the sauce on the side if it is going more than fifteen minutes.

Shawarma, Kebab or Döner

Shawarma is meat shaved off a vertical spit. Kebab is grilled on a skewer. Döner is the Turkish word for the same spit, sliced thinner and served with less garlic. In Doha the Arabic counters say shawarma, the Turkish restaurants say döner, and the Kerala restaurants do their own thing. All three cluster on the same streets.
