Very thin bread, a crisp first bite, and shawarma packed with flavour: that’s the appeal of Crispy Arabica at Palmyra Mediterranean Grill. Served as a wrap or a plate, it brings a traditional Middle Eastern shawarma style to Surrey.
A traditional way to enjoy shawarma
Shawarma is enjoyed in different ways across the Middle East. The Arabica style celebrates a familiar combination: meat wrapped in thin bread, paired with sauces and pickles, and crisped for a satisfying bite. Served whole or cut into pieces on a plate, it’s a way to enjoy shawarma that puts the bread, filling, and texture at the centre of the meal.
At Palmyra, our chicken and beef versions each have their own combination of fillings. Choose your favourite, then decide whether you want a handheld wrap or a full plate with sides.
Very thin bread, plenty of crispiness
The bread is a big part of what makes Crispy Arabica special. It’s very thin and crisp, giving you a delicate crunch around the shawarma inside. Each bite brings together the crisp outer layer, the meat, and the sauces.
If you love a wrap with a little crunch, this is one to try. The thin bread keeps the filling at the heart of every bite while adding the crispiness that gives the dish its name.
Chicken Arabica: garlic sauce and pickles
Our chicken Arabica keeps the fillings simple: chicken shawarma with only garlic sauce and pickles, wrapped in very thin bread and crisped. The garlic sauce adds a creamy, bold flavour, while the pickles bring a tangy crunch alongside the chicken.
It’s a classic combination that lets you enjoy the shawarma without a long list of extras inside the wrap.
Beef Arabica: a fuller mix of flavours
Our beef version brings together beef shawarma, tomatoes, pickles, onions, parsley, hummus, and garlic sauce. Wrapped in the same thin, crispy bread, it combines the richness of beef with fresh herbs, tangy pickles, and creamy sauces.
Choose chicken for the simple garlic-and-pickle pairing, or beef for a more layered mix of fillings.
Make it a Crispy Arabica plate
Want the full meal? Our Crispy Arabica plate comes with the wrap cut into pieces, served on a base of fries, with garlic sauce, salad, and pickles.
Pick up a crispy piece, dip it into the garlic sauce, and enjoy the fries and salad alongside it. The plate brings the wrap and its accompaniments together in the traditional Arabica serving style.
