Order Lebanese delivery and takeaway online in Croydon (South)

Shawarma (recently mentioned in a certain blockbuster movie) is a Levant dish from the Eastern Med based on the doner kebab of Ottoman Turkey. Originally lamb or mutton, today's shawarma can be chicken, turkey, beef, or veal, cut into thin slices and stacked in a cone-like shape on a vertical rotisserie. Fresh fish and seafood are also must-try cuisines. Sayadieh, for example, is a classic family dish prepared with saffron rice and firm, white fish then garnished with fried onions, sumac, almonds, pine nuts, mint and creamy Tahina Sauce – which is the second most important part of the dish. (The most important part, of course, is ordering it through the Just Eat app.)

In Lebanese cuisine, food is life, and sharing is seen as one of the great joys of being alive. At Just East, we couldn’t agree more (especially the sharing bit). Lamb is a hugely popular meat and appears in many dishes, including Kafta, which is minced lamb rolled into sausage shapes and grilled on the barbecue or oven. Falafelare deep-fried doughnut-like balls fashioned from ground chickpeas or fava beans. This traditional Eastern Mediterranean dish probably originated in Egypt (and nowadays definitely comes from the Just Eat app).
