My thoughts:
Let me tell you - I was so excited to check out this restaurant because I'd heard wonderful things about this place. I ordered a chicken shawarma wrap ($5.95). I was not asked what I wanted inside my sandwich and assumed that I was going to "everything" - lettuce, parsley salad (tabbouleh), pickled radish, hummus, hot sauce, jalapeno peppers, etc. When I bit into my sandwich, I realized that not only did I not get "everything" (only lettuce, garlic sauce and pickles), but there was no hummus! I have never had a shawarma without hummus. I was severely disappointed by this - go ahead, call me a drama queen, but I love my hummus in my shawarma, lol!
Despite this major letdown, however, the service was speedy and very good. While taking in their impressive display of sweets and pastries, a restaurant patron offered me a piece to try. While I appreciated the kind gesture, the pastry itself was too sweet for my liking.
The atmosphere was very comfortable, laidback and family-friendly. The decor reflected the Lebanese culture, which was an inviting change for me. So would I return? Yes, mainly because of the environment and good service. I would not order the shawarma again; I'd probably try some of their appetizers. And sorry, no pic :(
