| - I frequent this Huntingwood / Birchmount plaza often. I had never visited this place because there were so many solid options in this plaza for a tasty, reasonably priced meal - and there's so much variety. But I finally decided to try this place out.
They had me at JERK CHICKEN SHAWARMA WRAP.
"Wait, what?!" You ask? Ya. Jerk.Chicken.Shawarma.Wrap.
Why would you ever eat a regular shawarma wrap when you can have a delicious jerk seasoned chicken shawarma wrap? It brings the chicken shawarma to another level.
The chicken is well seasoned, moist and so delicious and not swimming in oil! You get a choice of brown or white burrito tortilla wrap - it's layered with your choice of fresh toppings which include shredded iceberg, white onions, sweet pickles, tomatoes, and oil and vinegar slaw. Then they pile on the delicious jerk chicken meat- and there was a choice of sauce - I got a sweet mayo of some sort and a garlicy mayo. They didn't oversauce - there was no sauce at the bottom of the wrapper, and it didn't over power the other components of the wrap. They rolled, and bundled and then a couple of minutes in the press... BOOM!
The chicken is tasty, the jerk seasoning has a good bite, and the heat builds as I made my way through the wrap - but it doesn't ever burn burn. The veggies help balance the spice level. The least to say - I recommend the wrap! It was about $6 for the wrap.
Then I saw the soup options, and crayfish grouperhead got my attention. I didn't know what I was expecting - but it's a broth soup - mine had a whole shrimp in it - head, shell and all (That's how I like it!) a couple of pieces of cassava, and not much other veggies in there...would have liked a bit more veg, but still very good. There was good heat to it - and really well seasoned soup. It wasn't very fishy - the shrimp was the strongest base flavour for sure. I would get the soup again if I was in the mood for a nice homey soup! The soup was just under $4
Staff were friendly, quick and efficient.
They have take-out options and sit in option. It's a nice clean, casual, unique dining option in the area!
