I am always on a hunt for a new Mediterranean place. My first visit at Shawarma Plus was a pleasant one! The staff was helpful in helping me decide what to order. Since it was my first visit and I live on the other side of town, I ordered 2 meals. What can I say? Mediterranean meals are usually health conscious to begin with anyway :)
Sides: 4/5
I ordered a side of tabbouleh and it was fantastic! It was fresh and had a great balance of flavor to it. The lentil with rice was mixed in with tomatoes and grilled onions. I wish they can balance out the ratio. It was too much lentil for my taste, and the flavor was just okay.
Gyro beef/lamb sandwich: 3/5
This sandwich came in wrapped like a burrito. The meat was thinly sliced with a mild spice to it. It came in with the traditional veggies - tomatoes, red onions, lettuce, etc. The garlic creamy white sauce was mild. I wasn't a fan of the thin pita wrapper used. To me it was dry and was served not as warm as I would like it to be despite of the nice grilled marks on it.
2 combo choice: 5/5
Oh my! This was my first try of moussaka and it was delicious! It has a great combination of lamb, spices, cheese and the custard sauce on it was the cherry on top for me! So good!
The other choice was the stuffed zucchini with beef and rice filling. This was also delicious with a mild spice marinara sauce.
I would be a returning customer for sure. They have a decent menu to choose from and I can't wait to try their deserts!
