| - Great shawarma laffa wrap - 4.5/5! The box was not very good though - 2.5/5. So that evens out to 3.5, rounded up to 4 for good service.
Let's start with the bad. The box was fresh, but it was too dry. I got the chicken leg skewers. I liked that it tasted charcoal-y but it was quite singed, it was dry, and combined with the dry basmati rice and the salad...it was just a really dry meal. I didn't like the BBQ sauce it came with, and BBQ sauce doesn't go with basmati rice, you know? And the chicken didn't really taste like anything - it tasted like it was marinated with just salt.
The box would've been way better if the rice came with butter and/or the chicken was served with baba ghanoush/hummus so that there could be some kind of yummy sauce to go with it. The laffa was good - but also (you guessed it!) DRY. I'd never had laffa before - this one reminded me of naan, but better because the thickness was a bit more even (I hate the gumminess of the thick naans).
The shawarma laffa wrap was very good. It's not spiced like the other shawarmas I've had but it's probably because this place is not Lebanese. Totally fine. The chicken was reasonably juicy (why don't they offer this for the box???), the veggies were super fresh, the laffa was delightfully chewy, and most of all, the sauces were DELICIOUS. I looove me some hummus and baba ghanoush. I got both in mine. Loved it. So creamy and delicately flavoured.
Next time, I'd like to go with a friend so I could also have the fried eggplant or mushroom side dishes!
