How we Serve Amba?
Amba is one of the most iconic sauces in Middle Eastern cuisine, known for its bright color, tangy kick, and deeply aromatic spice profile. We use it to enhance:
-
Shawarma (especially chicken shawarma and steak shawarma)
-
Bowls and salads
Its zesty, slightly spicy flavor adds depth and authenticity to both street food and home-style dishes.
