Discover the New Sumac Chicken Shawarma Wrap at Shawarma Press

Shawarma Press® Elevates Its Menu with Sumac Chicken Shawarma Wrap

Irvine, Texas - In a delightful twist to its offerings, Shawarma Press, acknowledged as the first authentic Shawarma franchise in the United States, recently announced the introduction of its latest culinary sensation: the Sumac Chicken Shawarma Wrap. This wrap is inspired by the traditional Mediterranean dish known as "Musakhan," which features a harmonious blend of delicious ingredients including chicken, onions, flavorful olive oil, and sumac - a staple spice revered in Middle Eastern cuisine.

This innovative wrap reflects Shawarma Press's commitment to infusing classic Middle Eastern flavors into contemporary dining experiences. Sawsan Abublan, CEO and co-founder, expressed the significance of this launch. "The Sumac Chicken Wrap underscores our dedication to bringing treasured Middle Eastern flavors to today's audience. As sumac continues to gain popularity in the culinary world, especially across social media platforms, this addition becomes a perfectly timed menu enhancement, marrying tradition with current trends," she stated.

Sumac, derived from the powdered fruit of the Rhus coriaria plant, has been cherished in the Middle East and Mediterranean regions for centuries. It is predominantly celebrated for enhancing the taste of meats, vegetables, and grains, imparting a distinctive, slightly tangy, and lemon-like flavor to various dishes. In recent years, sumac has garnered recognition in the U.S. as a nutritious ingredient, particularly resonating with health-conscious diners and those engaged in weight loss journeys.

Abublan elaborated on sumac's evolving status, remarking, "Sumac has long held a special place in traditional Middle Eastern cooking for its vibrant flavor, and it’s now receiving attention as a modern 'superfood.' Its impressive antioxidant properties and zesty flavor profile make it an appealing choice for guests who desire bold, thoughtfully crafted meals."

Joining a lineup of other best-selling items, the Sumac Chicken Wrap will complement popular favorites such as Authentic Chicken Shawarma, Beef Shawarma, the fiery Tandoori Press Shawarma, and the beloved Supreme Wrap. The diverse menu also features Shawarma melts, homemade falafel bites, fresh salad and hummus bowls, decadent pistachio ice cream, and gourmet baklava bites. Catering options are available, making it easy to serve enticing platters for office events, parties, or group gatherings.

Since establishing its first authentic Shawarma restaurant in Irving, Texas, in 2017, Shawarma Press has steadily expanded its footprint across the state, with locations in Arlington, Denton, Frisco, Georgetown, Plano, and San Antonio. The flagship restaurant thrives in Dallas's vibrant Arts District, while the inaugural expansions into Georgia include new sites in Johns Creek and a digital kitchen in Midtown Atlanta. The latest franchise opening in Lawrence, Kansas, marks the brand's entry into the Sunflower State.
