| - I went there today for the preview opening, free pita, "fries" and a drink. When I got there the line wasn't too bad. They had someone passing out Falafal in a cup and handing out t-shirts and sunglasses. They also had a DJ playing. Those were nice touches and the DJ let me practice my youtube-learned dance moves, so that was cool.
Inside the place has a clean, modern decor. stainless steel tables and steel and red chairs. The idea is to order your style (pita or bowl) then fill it with meat/falafel and other goodness. Since today was a preview, it was Pita only. Typically I'd opt for the bowl (gotta keep the carb intake down to maintain my stunning physique) but free overrides carb limit so...
My pita was filled with hummus, Chicken Shawarma, chopped salad, sumac onions, and S'khug, which is the less spicy of the two spicy sauces.
The Pita itself was warm and soft. You can see them making them as you come in, which is cool. You get a good amount of what you choose. The Pita was good and the S'khug sauce was spicy but not too bad. Everything tasted fresh. I will say that because I got the Pita, there was a bit of a layering effect, so It wasn't until I was halfway done before I got any of the hummus.
The fries are actually homemade potato chips. I liked them. They were fresh and had a good mix between crunchy and flexy chips. They were not heavily salted and was a nice contrast to the pita itself. It almost had a sorbet effect, albeit a warmer, much more potatoey sorbet.
This is in the same strip mall as Melt, so parking is a pain. Remember there is parking behind the building also, as well as a rear entrance (hehe) to Naf Naf.
I thought the meal was good and filling, and they did a good job making the opening day fun. I'll be back.
