| - I had no idea this place was located next to La Plaza Supermarket and their fantastic tacos! I am a fan of Middle Eastern/Mediterranean food so I decided to check Ferris out one evening. This place is very unassuming, but I saw customers outside, inside, and customers picking up to-go orders so I say that is a good sign! The lady who helped me decide what to get was friendly and patient.
Apparently the shawarma platters used to come with coleslaw, garlic paste, hot sauce, pickles, fries, and a meat roll, but I was told they no longer do the coleslaw since not many people ate it and instead just do double garlic paste. The kind lady behind the counter let me get hummus instead of double garlic paste and she let me get half beef and half chicken. Definitely appreciate a place that works with me on trying different things without having to order a bunch of meals! I also opted for a baklava roll and my bill came to $10.50.
The platter is a pretty generous portion size, like pretty sure a whole basket of fries was included! They are of the frozen variety, but eh, still edible especially when dipped in that wonderful garlic paste mmm. I also really liked the meat roll, both the chicken and the beef. Nothing was dried up or over cooked at all, instead flavorful and tender. The hummus however, not so good. Tasted like a plain chickpea and I left it alone after a couple bites (definitely needs some more lemon or garlic or something to add flavor). That Baklava roll was pretty tasty though!
Overall I would come here again. Not the healthiest of meals, but good and the price is right. Portion size is big and I have leftovers in my fridge.
***Update, you can get coleslaw again, you just have to ask for it.
