Cuisine/Style: Fast-food/cafeteria-style shawarma (Lebanese/Persian)Meal: Dinner
My thoughts:
I had been introduced to this quaint little joint by a friend of mine, who frequents this place, and I can completely understand why. I have only ever had their shawarma sandwich and their chicken shawarma dinner/plate, and both were superb. The chicken is very tender and juicy, the coleslaw fresh and crunchy with just the right amount of sourness and the hot sauce smokin' hot but delish! Large serving sizes - the sandwich is always stuffed to its brim and food really piled on in the dinner/plate meal. Decent prices: around $7.50 for a sandwich, and if my memory serves me correctly, the plate is around $10. Again, considering the portion sizes, the prices are very fair.
Anyway, we both had the chicken shawarma sandwich on Tuesday. I didn't have my camera with me, but we are both regulars. I will post a picture next time!
Oh, I've also read in other reviews that their lamb kebabs are really good. Unfortunately, they didn't have any ready that night (it was a slow night) and I was told I'd have to wait about 10-15 minutes. I was pressed for time so I passed them up, but I vow to order them next time!
As an afterthought. I really wish the shawarma I had in Ottawa. I was there last summer for a weekend and had shawarma with some Italian-style seasonings/tomato sauce in it. You are probably grimacing at the sound of shawarma and tomato sauce in the same sentence, but I am telling you, it was most probably the best shawarma I've ever had! I wish I remember the name of the joint, but it was on Rideau St, just a few blocks away - east, I think? Not sure, because I'm not very familiar with the city - from Rideau Shopping Centre.
