How to find a good wrap
The best wraps come from cuisines built around them — shawarma, gyros, kathi rolls, Turkish dürüm, burritos — not from a sandwich shop rolling salad in a flour tortilla.
What separates a good one from a bad one
- Fresh bread — Lavash, pita, laffa or paratha that is warm and soft.
- Grilled, seasoned fillings — Meat or falafel with real flavour, not just lettuce.
- Sauces that make it — Garlic toum, tahini, chilli, tzatziki.
- Pickles and crunch — For contrast.
- Toasted to seal — A pressed or grilled finish holds it together.
What to order
- Chicken shawarma wrap — With garlic sauce.
- Falafel wrap — Vegetarian.
- Kathi roll — Indian paratha wrap.
- Dürüm — Turkish lavash wrap.
- Gyro — Greek.
