"Kebab" covers a lot of ground. A classic shish kebab is chunks of meat threaded onto a skewer and grilled over open flame. Shawarma is a completely different technique: whole cuts of meat stacked on a vertical spit, slow-roasted, and shaved off in thin layers as it turns.
Mazal's smash kebab is neither of those. It is seasoned ground beef, pressed flat by hand and grilled to order, so the outside chars while the inside stays juicy. It is our own way of making kebab, not a recipe we are claiming as centuries-old tradition.
If you want to see how kebab stacks up against shawarma, gyro, and doner kebab in detail, including a full comparison table, read our shawarma vs gyro vs doner guide, which has a dedicated Shawarma vs Kebab section. And if you want the spit-roasted version instead, our shawarma is carved fresh daily.
