Sorry for the new topic but I couldn't find out how to add to the
existing  messages.
Here's the skinny on shawarma vs gyro according to The Food Lover's
Companion, third edition

Shawarma; shawerma; shawima A Middle Eastern version of the Gyro,
Shawarma consists of spiced, marinated lamb (sometimes chicken or veal)
that has been molded around a vertical, rotating spit and slowly
roasted. Thin slices of the meat are shaved off as the spit keeps
turning. The hot meat is wrapped in Lavash or Pita bread, spread with
Hummus or Tahini and topped with shredded vegetables. In Turkey the
shawarma is known as doner kebab.
