| - I'll start my review off by stating that I specifically went to Spices to get Chicken Shawarma and Rice, so yes, I was really disappointed because they didn't have rice at the time I had gone, however, am basing my review off the food that I did end up getting. Spices re-opens for dinner at 4:30pm and unfortunately the rice wasn't done being cooked when I arrived around 4:50pm. I was given an expected time of about 15-20 minutes. I wasn't able to wait but in the back of my mind thought that they should've had it ready to go 20 minutes after re-opening. I'm not sure if this is an everyday thing or if they were just running behind on the day I went.
Anyways, I decided to still get the Chicken Shawarma plate which came with the shawarma, a small salad, french fries, and pita bread along with tahini sauce. I have to hand it to them for packing probably one of the best to-go boxes I've ever gotten! Pictures of the packing are posted! The salad (mix of cucumbers, tomatoes, & onions) was in a small container and the chicken shawarma was wrapped separately so the juices from both didn't mix together in the box and get the fries all soggy. The only thing I didn't like from the meal was the fries because they were way too salty. Also the tahini sauce was really bitter, but the chicken was flavorful enough and tasted great as a "wrap" in the pita with some salad that I didn't even need that sauce. I will ask for tzatsiki next time though!
The price of the meal was fair. Considering how tasty everything was, I'd go back to try the rice & arrive at a later time to make sure I get it!
