Shawarma is the king of Baku street food. Meat (chicken or beef) wrapped in fresh tandoor lavash with tomato, onion, lettuce, and signature sauce. The two markers of good shawarma: meat freshness and hot bread. Both fast-food chains and dedicated shawarma shops are good. Price: 4-9 AZN — among Baku's cheapest meals.
