ZiyadShaker Premium Chicken Shawarma Spice Blend, Flavorful Spices, No Additives, No Preservatives, No Salt, No MSG, 5.5 Oz

This spice mix is wonderful. I had shawarma chicken in Egypt and love to recreate it at home. There are lots of recipes online. Just substitute the spice mix for all the individual spices in the recipe. Enjoy!!!

It’s good better price

Perfect blend. Not overwhelming. Makes everything taste better.

I can't give it 5 stars simply because I have never tried a similar seasoning blend and have no basis for comparison. Having said that, I have used this 7-Spice seasoning blend to make a beef braise. It was very complimentary to the braise and the braise garnered high praise from my wife. I thought it was excellent too if I say so myself. It is likely I will test another brand or concoct a blend myself from this or that recipe as it is my wont to do so. However, I have this very good product to fall back on should other brands fail to impress me. The next test will be lamb and beef kufta where the seasoning will be the dominant factor in my results. We shall see.

I use this to make the Middle Eastern Street Cart Bowls from Hello Fresh. Very popular recipe in my household.

This is a better quality allspice than I have ever found before. I did not use the grocery store brands that taste like pocket lint. I ground my own allspice. Then I tried this! It is ground from a higher quality allspice than I ever found, so even though it is not freshly ground, it still is far more tasty and fragrant than anything I've ever tried before. It used to be that a grocery store bottle of allspice would last years in our kitchen, being used occasionally for a cookie recipe. You'd think that such a large bottle would last a decade, but it lasted only two months in this household. We use it in everything we can think of: protein shakes, smoothies, teas and toddies, baked goods, even savory dishes. It has an incredible flavor and potent aroma. We purchase anything sold by Ziyad because our experience with them has always redefined our expectations of quality. A super bargain even if it was nothing special. This is so great that it could command a much higher price.

No flavor. I used half of a bottle on one batch of falafels and still not enough flavor. I have purchased the Ziyad falafel mix in the past and loved the flavor, thus the purchase of the spice, but, they did not compare. It also would have been helpful if Ziyad had recipe suggestions on their website or the bottle.

I really love this spice mix. I use it mostly in sweet rather than savory dishes. It’s great in both. For anyone unfamiliar with this spice - it’s very close to the flavor profile of “pumpkin pie spice” and I actually prefer it. It’s a great economical replacement for PPS too.
