| - I have been to this establishment a few times and the service varies every time from spectacular to meh...
Yesterday I popped in after a business meeting in the far south and decided on a Chicken Sharwama...I see the chickeny goodness spinning on the spit, every bit golden and deliciously moist and tender but was told that I would have to wait about 25 minutes because it was not quite done yet...so I sit and read a copy of the Calgary Sun left at a table and waited it out while the aroma tempted me; I was out this far, no sense in leaving without it!
It was quite busy and seemed everyone there was immensely enjoying the giant behemoth wraps.
I get called over by the sandwich master and proceeded to get my wrap done to my specifications. I was disappointed to not see any pickled turnips, they had the pickled cabbage but turnips are what give it that authentic taste, green pickles and canned black olives are not traditional sharwama toppings btw so I just steered clear of those and the inferno of peppers and hot sauce, my gut can't handle those volatile substances!
As I check out I notice these delectable coconut cookies waiting for me, enticing me to take it home with me...I couldn't resist, I have had my fill of baklava so this cookie was a welcome addition to my belly! So chewy, crunchy and darn right coconutty...I have had dreams about this cookie.
The wrap was really good, but like I said before, was terribly missing the turnips. Awesome food, hated the wait for the chicken, especially since it was right around lunch time, service was ok, nothing to write home about but for $7.50 for the wrap and $1.50 for the cookie, a decent value for a pretty darn good lunch option. I was just not too crazy about the area and the pub next door and would frequent the Desert more if there was a location in my neck of the woods.
