| - My rating is not based solely on the food. The shawarmas at Osmows are just plain delicious, and solid 4 stars for food! Nice and saucy, flavorful meat and solid amount of toppings. I've been to many locations and the food is consistent across the board. In fact, this is my 2nd Osmows trip in 3 days. Sad, delicious, and true.
What concerns me is the overall lack of proper food handling and some standard restaurant basics. We went to this location today to pick up some wraps and I was not impressed. The guy making the sandwiches was not wearing gloves or hair net. I understand the use of a baseball cap is supposed to act in place of the need for a hair net, but most people need more hair coverage than a hat can provide. He was also not wearing an apron which normally wouldn't bother me necessarily, but this guy was wearing shirt tucked into belt with his car keys dangling jauntily out of his pocket. So many issues there.
The guy running from grill to sandwich station was not dressed appropriately either. As he went from prepping salads to cooking meats then back again. There was also a bottle of windex and a rag sitting out on the service counter. I know that means they were probably making an attempt to clean something, but you would never know it from the state the surfaces were in.
I know you're wondering why I would even eat there after feeling so bothered by the food handling, and I wonder that too sometimes. Honestly, I wanted my shawarma. Badly. Also, I remind myself that these things are happening in restaurant kitchens everywhere. The only difference being, we can't see them happening. Does that make it okay? Certainly not. #rantover
