| - Two weeks ago, our team lunch was supposed to be held at Lezzet, which I learned means delicious in Arabic from my Egyptian colleague. The day before, many colleagues were excited to go.
Well, Friday rolled around. My manager wasn't feeling great and pinged me in the morning. He wanted me to lead the lunch, which I have done before. Unfortunately, many couldn't go. The outing would have been me and an extremely talkative male colleague. I decided that I would sooner not go, as I didn't want to be lying in the restaurant in a comatose state hearing my colleague talk incessantly.
My manager apologized. I told him that it was okay. Instead, I went there after work and grabbed takeout for dinner that night.
It wasn't busy at 5:30 pm. I could have eaten there, but I wasn't all that hungry. There was a family of three ordering in front of me.
I ordered the Ali J's chicken shawarma on the rocks (rice) with special and garlic sauces. The regular size is huge! You can also go large.
I ate at home. I thought that I would leave half of it for lunch the following day. However, it was so delicious and addictive that I ate it all!
The rice is yummy. I don't know how to describe it, but it's fluffy and perfect, and complements the chicken shawarma nicely. The chicken shawarma is tender. You know that it's the real deal when you bite into it.
I loved the special and garlic sauces. The special sauce has hints of spicy heat. The garlic doesn't hit you until half an hour later. So good! Perhaps next time, I'll ask for hot sauce, too.
It was a great experience ordering from here. The restaurant is in a small plaza with plenty of parking, especially when Cora closes for the day at 3 pm.
