| - I'm a little surprised at the current 3 star rating, as I was quite impressed with a few things specifically. In fact I'm eating the rest of my incredible date puree filled galette (danish) now. Even several days past when I bought the super soft, plump and fresh bag of 5 for $3.50. I just knew by looking - these sesame seeded stuffed star shaped sweet rolls would be a treat. I ate one whole after my chicken Shish Taouk pita on the way home. I could not resist it.
OK, as for my other pre-dinner snack. Let's just say that the spinning thick chicken breasts, caught my eye on the spit. The chicken pita (4.35) was one of the best I'd ever had, fresh chopped lettuce, seasoned onions, an excellent uniquely potent garlic mayo, I tasted a hint of lemon flavour that merged perfectly with the marinated chicken. Good quality, great tasting.
One other notable, was the friendly gentleman behind the counter was stirring and shaping the stunningly fresh looking rice while chatting with a regular patron, who'd been coming for many years. Both good signs. Not to get overly excited about the rice trays, but the were full and inviting, even in the late afternoon, when you might expect them to be bare, dry and/or just overtired.
The more I recall and write, I am tempted to give a 5, but I'll refrain until I try one more time to confirm that my findings weren't just a mirage of eating pleasure...and admit to myself that there are other top notch pita sandwiches other than...well you know the one on Crescent St.
