| - 3.5*, really, but 3* just felt low.
SE corner of Decatur and Trop
Had a nice falafel pita that took less than 5 minutes for them to make (ordered in store for takeout). The whole experience feels very Israeli, from the Hebrew being spoken in the store to the attitude (which was a combo of direct to the point of being abrupt, immensely friendly, and charming to the point that you feel like they're somehow getting over on you -- which if you've ever been to Israel, you know what I mean).
The schug (Note 1: this is spicy chili paste, otherwise known as harif or harissa. Note 2: remember that the 'ch' is as in challah, so this is 'sss-ch-oog', not 'shoog' as it would be in German) is intense, so I'd recommend on the side (and I like spicy food).
The veggies, pickled and otherwise, in the pita were solid, and if you want hummus in your pita, you should ask for tahini on the side, as the dab of hummus you get in the pita is quite small.
Overall super tasty though, and i'll update after trying the shawarma.
