| - So, for four odd years I used to walk past this joint (fondly and formerly known as La Zeez) without once stopping in to try. Finally, this past week I ducked in to give a shot with a friend who was very pro-La Zeez.
Was about 3 pm on a Sunday and it was still relatively busy considering the awkward hour. We were both starving, so he went for the Chicken Shawarma plate, deemed "huge", even for him. I stuck with the Chicken Shawarma in a pita wrap. Key observation: they throw the slices of chicken back on the grill after shaving it off the spit. Quick friendly service, and for both meals it came to about $15.
Ate the meal in their bizarre covered patio complete with (fake?) plants and a television. Nice view of all the cops stopping in the front to get their food fix on the go. As I watched my better half dig into a big square styrofoam container overflowing with a heaping serving of pickled and fresh veggies, rice, and a robust serving of chicken, I took a bite of mine. Really good, especially when I was blessed with a taste of the crispy flavourful ends of the chicken. Another bonus - there are plenty of vegetables and herbs in there to keep it tasting fresh and crispy. Nice balance of cool, crispy vegetables and pickled radish with the savoury warm, and also juicy, chicken. Hot sauce recommended.
With all the other shawarma offerings in the area, this one is definitely one to come back to.
