| - This one's located a bit north of the other Streestsville shawarma places (Pita Nutso, Osmow's, Taj Wrap, etc). The prices however are good (same as the other Streetsville ones pretty much) and the shawarma wrap itself is great. I wouldn't say the shawarma wrap is better than Pita Nutso or Osmow's, it might be on more visits but good enough for me. The sauce they use isn't as good which is probably why but it does have a unique taste and sometimes I enjoy it more. The chicken has a nice flavour though I'm not a big fan of the basmati rice they use for their platters (I prefer the normal thicker rice) however that doesn't matter if you're just ordering a wrap.
What I found interesting was how this restaurant is set up. Unique little area with a bunch of interesting looking decor...I think it's actually Egyptian and not middle-eastern.
The other thing that makes this place different from the nearby shawarma places is that it's more of a small restaurant rather than fast food mainly cos of the menu. It includes stuff like babaganoush and some other stuff I don't understand on the appetizers, biryani which I'm fairly sure is actually an Indian dish, they have different types of shawarma plates (prices on these are a bit high though), and other than the regular shawarma...they also have a burrito shawarma, cheesy, Hawaiian or whatever. I haven't tried them out because when I went there, I didn't look at the menu but will give it a go later on. On the shawarma itself, he also uses a stir-fry of some sort rather than the usual vegetables (I usually ask for no turnips/pickles though).
Anyways, their shawarma isn't noticeably better than the other places but the other things on there menu make me wanna visit again.
EDIT: I was looking at the facebook page, their website doesn't show much but in the photo album there's a picture of some of the foods and you'll know what I mean when I say it looks interesting. Food always looks better in those pictures though. Menu has also changed a bit, I've uploaded the menu brochure onto here. Also apparently they deliver if your order is above $25.
