Sharjah Shake or Sharjah Milkshake refers to a popular cool beverage made with bananas and a malted (Horlicks) drink. It is very much loved in Kerala. Sharjah shake is a kind of milkshake made from small bananas (Njalipoovan variety) and Horlicks and is commonly sold in Kerala juice shops and bakeries. This one is with added chocolare syrup and ice cream and sometimes with grinded cashew nuts as toppings.
Below is a close up photo of fancy Sharja which I enjoyed very much when I was in Allepey, Kerala, India. I found it a bit different from other milkshakes I already tasted probably because the version from Kerala is made using Horlicks.
Please see other photos below of the different Sharjah sold in various foodshops, Chaya Kada and bakeries in Allepey, Kerala, India
Below is the picture of one of the most important ingredients in making Sharjah, the Horlicks (please see article about Horlicks)

The meat—typically lamb, beef, chicken, or turkey—is shaved off in thin strips and served in a wrap or pita bread, along with fresh vegetables, tahini, hummus, garlic sauce, and pickles. Shawarma is known for its savoury, spiced flavour and tender texture, making it a beloved street food worldwide.
