| - We were going to have a shish taouk, but the kebab photo on the menu looked good and better than the chicken on the spit. The meat looked a little like a pressed sausage tube, more than a ground tube patty we thought it might be (like a lula-kebab or something). Anyway, this was placed on the grill, sliced up, flipped and fried - with onions! - and the pita was prepped with all the usual stuff, hot sauce, garlic mayo, iceberg, tomatoes, pink pickled turnips. Once wrapped, our host pita artist gave them a light press to heat the outside and bagged our lunch to go. Two pita kebabs for just under $14. We took these to the skating park just next to the Duff-Queen underpass and dug in.
These were terrific sandwiches. The meat was more like gyro meat, and it was tasty and plentiful, lacing the sammie from end to end. The sauces were generous and spicy, and evenly doused from top down - so the pita was properly messy, testing the heft of the wrapping paper once you got down to the bottom, and sending some drips to the ground. Pita construction was great, lettuce was fresh and tomatoes were red, not pale pink, green or yellow. Nice, unassuming place with yummy grub.
