Shawarma, a beloved street food that has captured the hearts and palates of many, has its roots deeply embedded in Middle Eastern cuisine. The term “shawarma” is derived from the Arabic word “??????,” which refers to the method of cooking meat on a vertical rotisserie. This technique dates back to the Ottoman Empire, where it was popularized as a way to prepare lamb, chicken, and beef.
Over the years, shawarma has evolved, with various regions adding their unique twists to the dish. Oro Shawarma, in particular, stands out as a simple yet modern interpretation that pays homage to these rich traditions while infusing flavors that locals love. The result – not only is Oro Shawarma delicious, but it also offers health benefits, making it a nutritious choice for those looking for a quick bite.
There’s something about Oro Shawarma that really makes it stand out, amid the many other shawarma franchises and businesses in Cagayan de Oro. Is it the delicious garlic sauce? Or the hot sauce-mixed-with-mayo that provides just the right kick? How about the thinly sliced cucumbers? Or the option to add cheese? Yum!
For those eager to indulge in the delightful offerings of Oro Shawarma, several locations are available across Cagayan de Oro. My latest visit was at their Shopwise Lim Ket Kai Center stall.
Fast fact: I was part of the PR and marketing team of Shopwise CDO when they first opened many moons ago!
Anyway, what about you? Have you tried Oro Shawarma?
