Malak Al Tawouk Launches Shockingly Good 100% Plant-Based Chicken Dishes With Switch Foods

Big news for foodies who are planning to adopt a plant-based diet. Renowned restaurant, Malak Al Tawouk, just flipped the script on fast-casual dining. In a deliciously bold move, the popular Lebanese eatery has teamed up with UAE-based Switch Foods to launch the region’s very first plant-based chicken shawarma in Dubai. Yes, you read that right. Your favourite street-style snack just got a clean, green makeover.

Malak Al Tawouk & Switch Foods Rolls Out The Region’s First Plant-Based Chicken Shawarma

Let’s talk details. This isn’t just a vegan option tossed on the menu. It’s a full-blown, flavour-fest menu collab that includes three new items: the plant-based chicken shawarma sandwich, a zesty Mexican Chicken Salad, and a saucy Teriyaki Chicken Rice Bowl. Each one uses Switch Foods’ 100% plant-based chicken, made from pea protein. Say bye-bye to soy, gluten and allergens. And, best of all, guilt.

If you’re imagining a sad, chewy alternative to the real thing, don’t. Switch Foods has crafted its meat substitute to mirror the exact texture and taste of chicken. And it’s produced right here in Abu Dhabi, keeping things local and sustainable.

Fast Food, But Make It Healthy

Malak Al Tawouk has been leading in the game of innovation. The brand has always had a solid foothold in the region’s fast-casual space. Nearly 50% of its UAE sales now come from healthier menu items. With the launch of these plant-based dishes, they’re clearly listening to what customers want: more mindful options that don’t skimp on taste.

We can’t give enough credit to the flavours packed in all the dishes, be it a loaded salad or the go-to shawarma. Don’t expect them to taste like the watered-down versions of existing items. They’re fresh, vibrant, and full of flavour.
