Shish Tawook

Tender cubes of marinated chicken, grilled to smoky perfection on skewers. Infused with a blend of Middle Eastern spices, garlic, and lemon, our Shish Tawook delivers a juicy, aromatic experience with every bite.

Tender, smoky, and bursting with bold Middle Eastern flavors, Chef Prestige Gourmet’s Shish Tawook is a culinary journey straight from the heart of Lebanon. These succulent chicken skewers are marinated in a rich blend of yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, and spices, then grilled to golden perfection, locking in flavor and moisture with every char-marked bite.

The secret to our Shish Tawook lies in the marinade—yogurt tenderizes the chicken, lemon brightens it, and garlic adds depth—while subtle hints of paprika, cumin, and white pepper give it that signature warmth. The chicken is then threaded onto skewers and grilled over open flame or a hot grill, creating a smoky crust and juicy interior that delights the senses.

Served with garlic sauce (toum), pickles, grilled vegetables, or wrapped in warm pita bread, this dish is a street food favorite turned gourmet experience. It’s high in protein, rich in flavor, and perfect for sharing—or savoring solo.
