The Sha'abi Menu Guide

The Sha'abi Menu

Sha'abi's menu reflects its Galilean heritage while serving the practical needs of everyday diners. The menu is built around the signature shawarma spit, complemented by traditional sides, sauces, and bread options.

The Signature Shawarma

The centerpiece of the Sha'abi menu is the signature spit — a blend of veal and lamb, marinated in Levantine spices (including cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, and paprika), and uniquely studded with pistachios, cashews, and pine nuts.

Shawarma Formats

• In Pita: The classic format — warm pita bread filled with sliced shawarma, tahini, amba, hummus, and fresh salad.
• In Laffa: A larger, thinner flatbread (saj) that holds more filling and is ideal for bigger appetites.
• In Baguette: A fusion format popular in Tel Aviv — French bread with shawarma, garlic sauce, and pickles.
• On a Plate: Shawarma meat served without bread, accompanied by salads, sauces, and pickles.

Sides and Sauces

• Tahini: The classic sesame seed sauce, creamy and nutty.
• Amba: A tangy, spicy mango pickle sauce of Iraqi-Jewish origin.
• Hummus: Smooth chickpea puree with tahini, lemon, and garlic.
• Toum: Lebanese garlic sauce — creamy, pungent, and addictive.
• Pickles: Turnips (pink, pickled in beet brine), cucumbers, and mixed vegetable pickles.
• Sumac Onions: Thinly sliced onions tossed with sumac and parsley.
• Fries: Crispy French fries, often served inside the sandwich.

Drinks

Traditional Middle Eastern beverages including Ayran (yogurt drink), fresh lemonade with mint, and soft drinks.
