| - There was much boasted about the food here so I decided to try it for myself. I think I'm going to break this down in different areas so that I can fairly give you the details. I walk in and there is lots of talk by the owners on how good the food is, how Yelp is a big supporter and how long they have been there without advertising. The place itself is old looking and looks like an old style KFC with wooden chairs and bench seats against the wall. Parking was ample and can be found right in front of the place.
I asked about choices and was told to choose either Chicken or Vegetarian that's it... all other choices that were previously available have been removed from the menu!! We ordered 2 chicken shawarmas for a whopping $9.72ea and a coke for another $2.00bucks each, no combo's are available, total bill with tax for two $26.00!!. Not sure if pricing has gone up recently, but this does not seem to the same in previous reviews. At this point I know the shawarma's are large but I can't help feel like I've been overcharged for a sandwich wrap. Also, at $13.00 per person($11.72 pre tax), this bumps the pricing category from under 10 ($) to 11-30 ($$) per person. I'm not sure why my fellow yelpers have ignored that?
The flavors of the chicken shawarma was VERY good and the portion size was large (for a sandwich) but, having eaten shawarma in the past, I still could not get over the price and what I could have eaten instead, but I digress. The sandwich ate like a story book, juicy at the beginning, kind of dry and plain in the centre then juicy again towards the end. They don't warm the sandwich in a press so the pita is plain and cold. I can definitely see why the food is liked by many as the chicken they use is well seasoned from the spit.
Menu selections seem to have been recently chopped down to 2 types of dinner/shawarma, Chicken or Falafel (Veg). Most of the menu board in the background had the pricing blacked out,this makes this place less interesting if you are looking for variety.
I'm rating it 4 stars based mostly on the hype and good food, but given the old outdated decor and high prices combined with limited menu, I think I'm being very generous. I would certainly increase my rating if some of the negative issues were addressed and decor was updated. I also read up on some of the inspection warnings they had in the past and was not impressed since most rated this place 5 stars at that time. As they say, love is blind and it's true, a way to someone's heard truly is through their stomach.
