| - After reading all the reviews and articles, I had envisioned Elias and I having a grand conversation, but he only asked if I wanted onion on my chicken salad pita. He did ask twice since he forgot my answer the first time. Maybe he didn't get enough sleep with the new baby. There was a baby girl behind the counter and a beautiful woman (whom I'm going to assume is his wife) feeding her. My first time here and I didn't a free slice of apple cake. I had to buy my own but it was well worth the $2.50. It was dense, cinnamony, moist, not too sweet, with chucks of apples and very delicious.
I came around lunch time and there was 1 person ahead of me in line. After that, there was a constant stream of customers coming in, most sounded like regulars. My $5 chicken salad pita was good (came with lettuce, tomato, onion and spices). Quick, easy and fresh. I was eyeing the samosa and beef roll, but wasn't sure if they would be good for a late afternoon snack. There were plenty of room to sit and I ate my lunch at the counter overlooking Jarvis Street.
Update: My 2nd visit, I've made progress with Elias in terms of conversation. I asked him about his favorite pita and he said he likes to make a chicken with eggplant but no onion. I never had a falafel pita before, so I ordered one here. AMAZING! Very tasty and I highly recommend.
