I came here on the strength of the recommendations here on yelp and because I was shocked that there would be a place for $5 meals in Yorkville. I don't know whether I was overly hyped by the reviews or maybe there's just something wrong with me... but I really didn't feel that the chicken shawarma was anything special.
The shawarma was huge! The ingredients were plentiful indeed. I have to say that between me and the shawarma, I lost and couldn't finish it. Taste-wise... I can't say that this is the best shawarma that I've ever had. Again, maybe I was just over-hyped? The $5 came with a drink as well, and juice isn't extra compared to soda. Bonus!
As expected, the lunchtime line was loooong and it was funny that I overheard some people measuring the time it look from ordering to actually receiving the food.
The owners are super friendly and because of their attitude, I would have to say they made the lunchtime experience much more enjoyable. So thank you, and keep up the good work!
