| - We've been anticipating Salam opening for a while now, seems like it took them a year or so to open. I attempted to call in my order on Saturday evening around 6:30. Tried to call 3X, no answer. I decided to bite the bullet and just go there since it's only a 5 minute drive. Was expecting them to be very busy based on the fact that they weren't answering their phone. They were empty except for one table. When I noted that the phone must not be working the young and rather unfriendly man at the counter said he stopped answering it because they were slammed. I call BS on this, this is lazy and irresponsible for a place that just opened weeks before. After getting "clarity" on their confusing menu( daily specials are only offered on that particular day, so if you want some Shawarma you can only get it one day a week. This is a ridiculous and frankly stupid policy. Don't put it on the menu if it's only available once a weekI ! ordered the Special Pizza and Chicken Shawarma platter. The pizza was delicious, meaty, and filling. The Chicken was HANDS DOWN the worst chicken I have ever had. It was dry to an extent that it had the texture of warm beef jerky and actually looked like chips of some kind, inedible. The hummus and tabbouleh that came with it was pretty good but they FORGOT MY PITA, which I mentioned twice while ordering. I threw the chicken platter in the trash where it belonged and ate my pizza. I know they are new and will experience growing pains, but my initial experience was straight-up bad. I don't see myself going here again any time soon until they get it together. Hire more friendly employees, make better food, and fix the confusing menu!
