New menu items and catering offerings are spicing up Sports Night platters
Shawarma Press, the nation’s first authentic shawarma franchise, is introducing Gyro-Style Shawarma and the Shawarma Melt as the latest additions to its popular menu. CEO and co-founder Sawsan Abublan said the new menu offerings are perfect additions, considering the diverse customer base served by the brand’s eight locations.
“While Shawarma and Gyro both originated from Mediterranean regions, the Shawarma Melt brings the Tex-Mex flair to the mix, adding to the diversity of the menu,” Abublan explained. “Gyro-Style Shawarma Pockets feature two pita pockets with beef, Taziki, onions, and tomatoes. The Shawarma Melt offers layers of cheese and juicy chicken covered with spicy Tex-Mex Sauce and golden pressed to perfection. Both items are available in party platter sizes to please the crowds at any gathering and are especially popular during sports events and watch parties.”
The limited-edition Supreme Shawarma wrap is also back by popular demand. This mega wrap is loaded with three proteins and seven toppings, with options including beef, chicken, Hummus, tomatoes, onions, pickles, cheese, red chili, and garlic. The limited time offering has emerged as a customer favorite and may end up as a permanent item on the menu.
Abublan added that for any sports-packed weekend, team members at all eight Shawarma locations are always busy taking orders for catering party platters.
“Some people are unaware that we have a thriving catering business,” Abublan said. “For instance, our party platters can serve from 10-100 guests at private events and up to 1,000 guests at larger events. The platters are beautifully arranged to please any crowds or party guests, and orders can be easily placed online or through our app.”
Since opening its first restaurant in Irving, Texas, in 2017, award-winning Shawarma Press is the nation’s leader in fast casual Mediterranean cuisine and the first authentic shawarma franchise. The brand is rapidly expanding with multiple locations in Texas and Georgia. Co-founders Sawsan Abublan and Ehap Sabri, Ph.D., are the recipients of Fast Casual’s Top 100 Movers and Shakers award as well as the Innovation Award presented by Franchise Update Media for the Most Innovative Supply Chain and Silver and Gold Stevie Awards for Diversity & Inclusion. The company stands true to its core values of Social Responsibility, Integrity, Trustworthiness, and Excellence and has donated more than 20,000 meals to homeless shelters and non-profit organizations.
