| - The good news is that this place is cheap. Even though the advertised combo was two schawarmas plus two drinks for $6 each or $7.99 ala carte, the proprietor was kind enough to give us two for $5.49 each with no drinks.
The bad news is that they weren't that great.
1) We ordered two lamb to go. What we received turned out to be leftover chicken (I must admit, I thought it was a bit odd that rather than slicing meat off of the spit, these were surreptitiously filled from a foil-covered tray where we couldn't see what was being put into them, but I didn't realize until I bit into mine that I had been the victim of a sandwich bait-and-switch.)
2) It wouldn't have mattered if they were lamb, as the main component was a mess of shredded lettuce. There was very little else to the things. Seriously, two measly, stubby bits of pink turnip. A paper thin slice of tomato. A pinch of parsley. A couple of slivers of pickle. A little cucumber and onion. Mostly lettuce. More lettuce than I cared for.
3) This place doesn't have Babaganoush.
4) It does sell tabbouleh but it is not offered as a topping option on schawarmas .
5) The so-called hot sauce was pretty bland.
So what we got was essentially two pitas stuffed with iceberg lettuce in a tiny amount of garlic sauce.
In future, I will spend the extra one or two bucks at one of the innumerable other places (ie Ghazale's, College Falafel, Ali Baba's, Alexandria, etc, etc) that make better sandwiches.
