Middle Eastern Cuisine Question: What's the name of this food item?

I'd like to know the actual name to these items that I had last year in a middle eastern restaurant. Not the English names, but the names in your language, so I can order it that way the next time I go.

I had something like charbroiled chicken breast chunks (maybe kebabs) but there was no skewer in them.

I dipped them in this wonderful garlic sauce (I think its mashed up garlic, oil and lemon juice and blended into a very smooth mayonnaise like consistency)

I had this garlic sauce with my shawarma before too...if you have a simple recipe for this, i'd like it too.

Also, is this considered Persian or Lebanese cuisine? Let me know, thanks.

And could I order the garlic sauce at a Persian restaurant?

the chicken plate may be called "Shish Tawooq" (in Egypt)
the garlic sauce is called "Tommeya". (it contains also little mashed potatoes)

it's something like 1 clove of garlic, oil, lemon juice and a small potatoe (mashed) this whch gives the consistency not the mayo.

Sounds like you are talking about my favorite dipping sauce!
It's called Hummus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hummus
And it's truely neither persian nor lebanese it's more of a middle eastern/ arab food in general.
Yep you can probably order it at any middle eastern restaurant, but I prefer to make it at home the homemade way :)

Oh,and here is the recipe that I was to make my hummus

Hummus bi tahini
125 g (4 oz) chickpeas, soaked for a few hours
juice of 2 lemons
3 Tbs. tahina
2 garlic cloves, crushed
salt
GARNISH


1 Tbs. olive oil
1 tsp. paprika
a few sprigs of parsley, finely chopped
Drain the chickpeas and simmer in fresh water for about an hour or until tender. Reserve the cooking water.

Process the chickpeas in a blender (or food processor) with the lemon juice, tahina, garlic, salt and enough of the cooking liquid to obtain a soft creamy consistency.

Serve on a flat plate, garnished with a dribble of olive oil, a dusting of paprika (this is usually done in the shape of a cross) and a little parsley
