| - I went to Tyma'z on the recommendation of Yelpers, and was really not as impressed as I wanted to be. When we arrived at a perfectly appropriate dinner time of 6:45pm, there was literally no one else there. We were suspicious, but ventured on. More diners did eventually show up when we were halfway through our meal.
I had the vegetarian moussaka ($13), which was very freshly made and piping hot. The flavor was not as good as I'd hoped. I thought the tomato sauce should have more of a spice (cardamom, something like that?) to it, but my dish really tasted like veggie lasagna minus the noodles. My dining companion had the beef shawarma ($17), which had a better flavor than my dish, but sort of looked like Steak-Umms. I'm still hopeful that it wasn't, but it could have been ... The rice pilaf side and the hummus and pita that came out before our meal were both very good.
Overall, the meal was fine, but it wasn't as good as it should have been for the price. Staff was nice and attentive. It's one of those places that I'm glad I tried, but I probably won't go back.
