| - It was just barely O.K. for me.
I'm going to give 3 stars instead of 2 because I arrived late and they were out of chicken shawarma, so I had to order other items, so I'm scoring it generously.
Lamb shish-kebab on a pita was a soggy disorganized mess, with the pita improperly cut and loosely wrapped and completely unable to corral its contents, resulting in something that was much closer to a wrapper full of 'finger stew' than anything remotely resembling a sandwich. Completely unable to hold a candle to the lamb shish kabob sandwich from Jerusalem takeout on Leslie.
The chicken shish kabob dinner fared better, with the flavorful buttery rice quite enjoyable, a few chunks of chicken kebab dark meat which was juicy and not overcooked, but the potatoes cut overly large, chunky, starchy and bland, quite a disappointment after reading such enthusiastic reviews.
Service was friendly and really pleasant courtesy of the two lovely young ladies running the show around 8 p.m. on a Tuesday, but sadly the food did not impress.
It is my intention to go back and give the shawarma another chance, but honestly, I won't be in a hurry to return, based on this first visit.
