Top Must-Get: "Vegetarian Heaven"
Top Regret: Chicken Schwarma Wrap
*In comparison to other yelpers, it seemed that my service experience was very different (or they read these reviews and made improvements!)
SERVICE
We came here after a movie for a bite. We stopped short at the cashier, oogling at the menu - they've got a ton of stuff. Thankfully, the man at the cash kindly asked us if it was our first time here, and whether we'd like a brief introduction to how everything works.
Basically, the emphasis here was on the dips. He was very knowledgeable and, when we asked about vegetarian options, he noted there is a "vegetarian heaven" choice. We went with that and a chicken schwarma.
This went for just under $20. The food took a little while (10 minutes), so I definitely don't think it's "express".
FOOD
The chicken schwarma wrap was okay. Since there was a deal going on, I got free homemade kettle chips with it, so that was a nice bonus. The chips were actually pretty good - crispy, warm, and just the right amount of salt.
The schwarma itself? I definitely have had better, but I got to use some of the sauces from the vegetarian heaven, which was great! On its own, though, the wrap was not particularly impressive. If we go back and I had to get a sandwich, I'd be asking for extra tahini/sauce because it did feel a bit dry (again, why I appreciated my friend's humus!)
The Vegetarian Heaven came with three falafels, three dips, and an assortment of roasted veggies, including peppers, onions and cabbage, and a laffa bread. We had their default three dip choices (although you can customize if you want). The humus was my favourite, the "labneh and zaatar" (a cheesy dip) was my friend's preferred dip, and neither of us loved the "baba ganush" (eggplant).
Overall, it's probably not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit, but it's not bad for a bite after the movie.
