| - I've been going to the Chick Pea for several years now, and it still ranks as one of the best of its kind around.
Located across the street from the Husky tower, and next to the Nexen building, it CAN get pretty busy by 12:00. Often, the line stretches out the door. So it's a good idea to get a head start, if you can.
However, the food preparation inside is efficient (they hustle hard when it's busy), so don't be scared away.
I'm usually a falafel guy, and $7 will get you a pretty substantial portion when loaded up. To minimize the olfactory assault on my co-workers, I sacrifice and leave off the onions and garlic sauce, but still find it delicious as is. It's a more flavorful mix than what I've tried elsewhere.
The donairs are $1.5 to $2 more, but they look enormous when piled high with meat. So while the food is tasty, it's definitely satisfying in scale as well.
A nice touch is being able to grab a 3 pack of dolmades as a side to round it out. I find the way they make 'em to be nicely balanced in flavor.
