Zorbas in BR is better than anything in NOLA by far.

Down 280 in Hoover has a Joo place that has it. Delicious.

Great post, but you left off the Jews in NOLA: Shaya & Tal's

Roman's as the best in Baton Rouge.
100% agree! Roman's is the best in BR.

I had chicken schwerma in Istanbul, Turkey and Dushanbe, Tajikistan.
I bet they served it to you with their left hand.

If you're ever around Lafayette, find one of these.

I would be interested in the history myself. I've always heard that the Baton Rouge restaurants all have ties to a series of broken marriages and infidelity beginning with the owner of the first restaurant in the area.
Actually it has to do with a group of guys that were in Engineering at LSU helping out at the first Serops and then branching out on their own.

I agree with the OP. I live in Ft. Worth now and travel a lot for work all over the country. Love Albasha chicken shawarma and try the local variant everywhere I go eventually. All are very different from here and none near as delicious to me. I thought it was a legit question, not sure why all the internet tough guys.
I agree. I'm in the DFW area and I've tried "shawarma" at several places and NONE are like the shawarma in Baton Rouge. It sucks.

same here in Charlotte. Lots of kabob type places but nothing close to BR.
Same here in Winston-Salem. They don't have Chicken Shawarma anywhere like it is in BR around here. All they have is Chicken Souvlaki which is just bland kabobs that you described.
Have found plenty of good places that have Gyros though.

Most Mediterranean restaurants have shawarma. But BR is unique in having some of the best.
Posted on 9/13/16 at 5:44 am to Clifh
Because middle eastern restaurants have different names in other places.
It likely may be the most popular dish in the world.

You obviously can use the Internet to bitch, use it to find what you want dumbass.

You csn find shwarma all over the place. But you won't find chicken and gyros shwarma like we have in the greater BR area anywhere else in the US, IMO. It's a single family or group of families from a certain region that all made serops, Romans, Albasha, etc.

I can find 5 places in every city in LA.
Posted on 9/13/16 at 7:25 am to Pico de Gallo
maybe spelling it correctly would help you find it?

A bunch of the Caffery's in Lafayette are Lebonese. A Scots-Irishman must have married a Lebonese girl a couple generations ago.

For my Houston peeps, Dumar's southwest of Houston is the best I have found here. It's a little hole in the wall Lebanese market, but the food is amazing.
