| - This place just opened a week or two ago, and I gotta say, I'm a huge fan of a shawarma place within stumbling distance of my apartment. It's almost icing on the cake that the shawarma was excellent, but I suppose that's at least as important as location.
Being absolutely brand new, the location is very clean, with nice finishes. The layout is flipped from what I'm used to - order and pay at the cash register right at the entrance, then get the food part taken care of along the counter to the left. Most places I frequent are the reverse of that, so it threw me for a bit of a loop at first.
My first visit was a chicken shawarma with all the fixin's, plus hot sauce. They hot sauce wasn't unreasonable or unbearable as some can be, but definitely noticeable and tasty. The sandwich itself was very good, and a good size for the price, but the chicken was a touch on the dry side. Not a deal-breaker for me by any means, but I've heard others complain in the past, so be aware.
It's early days yet for Liberty Shawarma at CityPlace - I understand there's a well-received cousin in Liberty Village, though I've never been. I anticipate many happy returns, though, and will definitely update this review as those occur.
