| - Wow, I'm surprised by all the negative ratings. I love it here!
Where else can you spend $5 and select from a whole whack of veggie offerings. They have about 10 different dishes to choose from and they are all great. Tabouli, cabbage salad, bulgar with toasted almonds, grilled eggplant, roast potatoes, spicy lima beans, roasted beets, etc. The list goes on. Each dish is very well made with great seasoning and careful cooking. None of the dishes are "fillers" like the plain rice that most take out places use. Service is fast and friendly.
Many other reviewers have complained about the shwarmas. I have been avoiding shwarmas for years because they always look like mystery meats. Looking at the other dishes, it was clear to me that this is a place that puts a lot of care in their cooking. So, I felt okay about having a shwarma here. Ghazale's chicken shwamra looks and tastes like chicken! Mine didn't come straight off the spit, but I didn't find it dry at all. More importantly, I didn't find it greasy or made from mystery meats.
I'm guessing that the negative reviews are mostly from people that see a shwarma and have some expectations about getting a fix of guilty pleasure that Ghazale's doesn't satisfy. Instead the food here is healthful, lovingly made and a great deal. I plan to eat here whenever I'm in the Annex and looking for a quick bite.
