Shish taouk

Shish taouk is a traditional Turkish shish kebab which can also be found in Syrian and Lebanese cuisine. Shish means "skewer" in Turkish and "Tavuk" (read as "Taouk") is the Turkish word for "chicken".

The original version was served with rice and a garlic paste along with vegetables. The sandwich version comes in a bread or pita wrap seasoned with garlic paste, along with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickled turnips.

In Montreal, Canada, the term Shish taouk is commonly used to refer to chicken shawarma rather than skewered chicken.


Shisk Taouk can also be used in other ways such as a verb or an adjective: I wanna Shish TaouK that girl! That's Shish TaouK! Shish Taouk!
