Rostov Restaurant Starts Serving Octopus Shawarma
A restaurant in Rostov-on-Don has introduced an unusual version of the popular street food: shawarma made with octopus.
Instead of the traditional chicken or beef, whole octopuses are slowly roasted on a vertical spit, sliced, and served inside flatbread with sauce and vegetables.
The dish reportedly costs 590 rubles, approximately $7.50.
