| - Another place I finally went to, then immediately kicked myself for never having eaten here!
Wife got the Grilled Lamb Pita, I got the Beef Schwarma Pita. I got feta cheese, but on the side. My wife does not like hummus, but her order came with it, so I said put it on the side.
Long story short, every aspect of the entire meal was great. The lamb was tender and perfectly seasoned. Same with the Schwarma. And the hummus, the wife finished it off. It was smooth, and tasty, delicious.
I am really used to hummus that is just a bit grainy, and has a pronounced tahini and lemon flavor. usually just on this side of bitter. I mean, I like hummus, but I always assumed it was supposed to taste a little bitter.
The hummus here was a revelation. It was smooth and creamy. And the tastes were so mild, you could taste all of the individual ingredients, but it all blended into a smooth delicious flavor unlike anything I have ever had before with hummus. It was GREAT!
The side of feta cheese was also something new and delicious. And again, I was so used to feta cheese being hard, a little bitter, sharp tasting. In this case, the feta was shredded. It was smooth and tasty, and melted in my mouth.
The lamb and the beef schwarma pitas were every bit as good. This place usurps every other middle eastern pita or wrap I have ever had anywhere, ever, at any time, ever in my life. Ever.
I am off tomorrow as well, and am going to do the vegetarian thing. In fact, up until now, my line had always been "if all food was as good as Indian food, I would be able to be a vegetarian.". Now, the vegetarian thing includes this place. I am going to update the review if I remember. I was going to do Taj Mahal lunch buffet, but am coming back to Kassab's, and I am getting the sleek, the eggplant stuff, that parsley grain salad, etc (sorry, I dont remember the names of the items, but I know the ingredients!).
Thursday. Vegetarian day at Kassab's. I can't wait! YUM!
