| - Not the best in town, I assume; but I must say - I have tried a LOT of shawarma places (reviews coming up as I re-visit all of them after having joined Yelp) - it matches what I have eaten at most places if not all (Yes, my quest for the ultimate shawarma is far from over).
Food:
- For a take-out place, it's pretty good. You can get more or exclude whatever you want, but you have to tell them.
- I usually go for a combo - a chicken shawarma and a kabab shawarma for $9 (incl tax) = that's a pretty good meal.
- I haven't tried their smoothies / juices yet; waiting for the summer for those.
- there're other things, like "lebanese pizzas" and stuff like that. Don't look very appetizing. And they're not. If you're feeling adventurous, go for it. I did and I won't give that another try.
- Because I haven't found an awesome shawarma yet, I'll give them 4/5 for the shawarmas.
- Overall food: 3/5
Price:
- for a downtown location and the quality/quantity, it's pretty good.
- Price rating: 5/5
Decor:
- seriously? c'mon... It's a shawarma place. It's called Wrap & Grab. You're not here for the decor.
- There are a few uncomfortable plastic-y bar stools (I wonder why they couldn't just have regular circular tables and chairs like you have in a cheap cafeteria).
- There's a TV that plays CP24 all the time. I don't expect many people to sit there, unless they don't want to take the hot shawarma anywhere else.
- no washroom (so you MUST "grab" your food if you want to "go"... and by "go", I don't mean "leave"... =P
Decor rating: not-existing / 5.
Service:
- I found they are pretty good - fast; understand what you want; will ask you about things you don't specify (hot sauce? garlic? onions? - I assume these are the typical no-nos... I on the other hand want extra everything... but I digress, back to the review:)
- Respectful - I find this to be an issue with a lot of take-out places. These guys are busy, I don't expect them to laugh and joke with me, but polite
overall.
- For certain orders (like the kabab shawarma), it takes time because they cook the kabab right there - the wait is 10 minutes). I call ahead, order over the phone, and show up 10 minutes later.
- Service rating: 4/5 (I won't give them 5/5 coz it's not a proper restaurant. I'll take off a star to be fair to the other 5/5s I may give. For a take-out place, it's pretty good).
Why to go there:
- cheap, quick meal (i speak for the shawarmas. other things - not so much, maybe the smoothies/juices..)
- good quantity
- good service
Why not to go there:
- definitely not a place to sit and eat (walk over to Nathan Phillips or something nearby)
- for a first date - uhhh.... =P
