| - The food was so good and fresh! You can see the cooks chopping up the fresh meat in the kitchen. They wait to cook your food -- not just prepare/assemble, actually cook it -- until you order it. This may seem normal to people who have not worked in the restaurant industry. However, many restaurants, including the ones with price points in the $20 - $30 a plate range, have a lot of their foods premade in a warehouse, and all they have to do is open a bag and heat. So this is rather exceptional in my opinion, since the price point is about $12 a person for a tasty, filling meal with sides and a drink.
As we watched the fire flash in the frying pan, I sipped on my cucumber lemonade. Perfect for a warm day. Very refreshing and light. As the cook piled my boyfriend's beef schwarma into the gyro bread, we saw the hot, crispy fries arise. Normally, I don't like beef very well (too greasy and heavy); but this was *delicious*. It reminded be of a tangy barbecue, but without the heavy taste. It mingled just right with the fresh cucumbers, lettuce, and tzatziki. I ordered the chicken schwarma bowl which has rice, chicken, all of those veggies, and fries or pita chips. It was yummy, as well.
By the way, the dining room is small. I think it had about six tables which would seat two people, one which would seat about three, and a couple of tables outside. So plan accordingly (and maybe call ahead?) for large families or groups wishing to dine in.
We went here for lunch with an Entertainment coupon. I like that we received 100% of the service and portions. (Some places sigh a bit when you use coupons. They were happy to have us.) We will definitely return, even though it's a few miles from home.
