| - Stopped in here a few weeks ago right after they opened up. As others have said there might have been a few hiccups in terms of speed, but it was worth the wait. Having lived overseas in the Middle East multiple times, I can say that without a doubt it's as close to authentic as I've found here in the QC. Nabil (I think?) the owner, is really eager to please and want's people to try out everything he's got. He might be a little over the top, but I'd rather see a little passion go too far then the converse.
The hummus was fresh and a huge portion, the pita came in little plastic bags which seemed odd, but tasted great and didn't really bother me, just made the presentation a little weak, but again it was it's first few weeks. I had the shwarma, which was clean, fresh tasting and well assembled. And the key, it had fries in it! I can tell you that in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Jordan, etc they almost always had fries in them so that's the way that I love them. Anyway, it was filling and made me think of my days back east.
All in all a great find on the north side of town that I'll frequent again as soon as I can,
