| - Three colleagues and I ordered take-out lunch today from Dijlah, and were very happy we did.
We phoned in our order (GrubHub is also available) and the girl taking our order was polite and made sure she had our order right. We were happy to hear that our sandwiches could be part of a lunch special that included a side salad, so we didn't have to order extra salads to share, as we had planned on.
I went with the Iraqi kebab sandwich. It was absolutely delicious, a perfectly cooked blend of beef and lamb in a wheat pita. Also inside were pickled onions (one of my favorite things on earth), tomatoes, parsley, and sumac. Herb, onion, and lamb flavors blended together perfectly, and the overall taste was hearty, but still fresh and bright. The wrap was also perfectly constructed: it didn't fall apart at all, and there was no annoying leakage. The accompanying side salad was larger than expected, with red cabbage, tomato, and parsley atop lettuce in a vinegar-based dressing. I love a mainly vinegar dressing, and the proportions of lettuce to topping to dressing were just right.
My co-workers ordered the vegetarian sampler, the chicken shawarma sandwich, and the falafel sandwich. They all were equally pleased with their lunches, with the hummus getting a special shout-out. We are looking forward to enjoying more great lunches from Dijlah!
