Authentic Turkish Shawarma

For authentic shawarma, the place to go is Bricks and Copper Restaurant at Zentrum Plaza along Shaw Blvd. in Mandaluyong. The place specializes in Turkish cuisine and their best seller is the pita doner more popularly known in the Philippines as shawarma.

The doner can either be beef or chicken stuffed in fresh pita bread and huge serving is filling and priced reasonably at P99 (US$2.45). You have a choice of two sauces, yogourt and salsa. I prefer the salsa for a more spicy flavor.
