| - Deliciously spiced Kafta, mounds of other Mediterranean and they're open until...4am?! What struck me about Shawarma and Falafel City is they're clean, friendly and tasty enough that they you definitely don't need to limit them to late-night, post-pub, drunk-munchy binge eating. Lunch, dinner, snack, it's all cool! In case the name wasn't a big enough giveaway, you also might be surprised to learn that they do in fact sell shawarma and falafel. I haven't had either of those yet, but I'm excited to go back and try them out!
I stopped in for an early lunch and bypassed the usual shawarma suspects for one of their Kafta beef burgers. If you're not too sure what kafta is... well heck I'm not going into it but they have a great description posted on the wall. Read up, it's fun! 7 minutes later when your burger arrives (it takes a wee bit of time since they cook it fresh) you'll be a well versed connoisseur in the world of kafta and you'll be ready to take you first perfectly spiced ("10 spices to be exact" as informed by their wall) bite.
They have 3 sizes of shawarma ending in "humongous" or "gigantic", or something like that. I can't remember the adjective they use, but given the large amount of food I received for $8, I can't help but wonder what kind of monster wrap $15 would could buy me. Morbid curiosity will get the best of me soon enough and I'll be updating this review while fighting a shawarma coma, yelling "what have I done?!" ...while loving every second of that.
Until that time, I'm more than happy to recommend the Kafta burger, but I feel like my future visits will be for the wraps and plates.
