| - My friends and I came here for a quick lunch the other day. Shawarma House is a take-out style type of place with no fancy plates or silverware. That said, it actually has a pretty comfortable vibe to it.
The prices are more than reasonable, most of them between $6 and $12. I got the Chicken Shawarma Plate for $12, and it included vegetables, rice/fries/salad, chicken, hummus, and bread. What a deal!
My chicken tasted great. It was seasoned just right, didn't have too much sauce, and was still warm. The bread was thin, crispy, and oven fresh. I loved it. Overall, the food served here is much healthier than a lot of other to-go foods, and the portion sizes are great for lunch. I'm quite pleased.
The dessert is not that great. When I bought the pre-made Baklava at the counter, I was expecting it to have more of a fluffy consistency like the Turkish Baklava I have had in Germany, but it turned out to be more of a brownie-cookie consistency, more crunchy and packed rather than fluffy and light. I'm not sure if that was just a cultural difference between dishes, but one of the pieces was so hard that I had issues stabbing it with my fork. Not a fan.
I would recommend this place for healthy and affordable food-to-go or a casual lunch, but I probably wouldn't get Baklava again.
