| - Pizzaland Halal was recommended by my good friend Moez. He told me that it's right beside Naan & Kabob and that I should try it out, especially the Shish Taouk, Homeburger, Pizza and Chicken Wings.
I decided to take my co-worker Mariam out for lunch on Thursday as she was leaving our department to go downtown for her new job. She is Muslim so this was a perfect place for her to get some eats.
I checked out their website and I was thoroughly impressed. There were full colour pictures of the food, the menu had all the combos and prices listed. There is also an option to order online. I called the place directly to put in the order for take-out. The lady on the other line took my order but there was definitely a language barrier. I did have to repeat myself a few times and ensure the order was correct which was not a big deal. When you go to eat ethnic, it's part of the territory. She told me that it would take 15 minutes.
I went to pick up the food and was really excited. When I got in, there was no line-up... yes! The lady looked at me from the back and came to the front. I paid by credit card which was cool because I didn't have cash on me. I noticed that their phones were ringing off the hook.
We got back to the lunch room back at work and "went to town". The food I ordered was a Shish Taouk sandwich wrap. I never had Shish Taouk before so I couldn't wait to try it. Opened the bag, wow, so greasy good. I bit into the wrap and immediately I thought, real barbecue flavour. A few bites in... it was just decent dry BBQ chicken chunks with lettuce, tomato and it was not anything special. But then, the shish taouk sauce kicked in halfway and I found myself loving it with each bite. Very flavourful and delicious it was. I actually could not get enough of it. Sure, the wrap itself kind of exploded (see picture) but I gobbled it up happy and truly satisfied.
Most definitely I will return to this place and check out other things to order from the menu. It was a hit for me and hope it will be for you too!
