| - You know that expression "if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is"?
That's definitely the case with Pita Way.
I was walking along Carlton when I spotted a sign advertising a $3.99 Chicken Shawarma. $3.99!
I popped inside and placed my order, and waited while the sole clerk filled the other orders ahead of me. Honestly, if I'd known this was going to take almost 20 minutes, I wouldn't have even bothered.
I digress. I finally received my shawarma and took it to a nearby table. It's...not great.
For one thing, it's mostly cold inside. I watched as the clerk placed the finished wrap in a press for about 30 seconds, which did absolutely nothing to either crisp up the pita or warm up the cold ingredients.
And although four separate sauces were added to the shawarma, it was completely lacking in any of the bold flavors one associates with this dish. The other ingredients were fine, I guess, and the chicken itself did contain a few crispy pieces, but the experience of eating this concoction was far from enjoyable.
I did finish it, but that's 'cause I'm a pig.
