| - I've been coming here for the past six or seven years at least, and since the first time I had it, it's been the best shawarma place I've ever been to, and I've been to quite a number of shawarma places, including most of them ones on Lawrence in the surrounding neighborhood. They renovated a few years ago, and the renovation really helps the place look considerably less dingy. It's quite welcoming now. I like that. Their prices haven't changed in years, which I really like as well.
Soup ($2? $2.50?) - Today's was lentil. I'm not a fan of lentil soup, but this was not bad. It was quite creamy, although obviously legume. It also tasted slightly of cumin, which was interesting.
Humus ($2.99) - For $2.99, I was expecting more hummus. That being said, their hummus is one I actually quite enjoy. The takeout version was served with a few pieces of pickled beet and a generous portion of fresh parsley. It isn't served with pita though.
Chicken Shawarma plate ($6.99) - I've had both their beef and their chicken shawarma. Their beef is hit and miss. Today's wasn't super dry, but it wasn't juicy the way their chicken consistently is. Their beef also doesn't have the same crispy bits their chicken does. The plate comes with rice, salad, hummus, pita and either chicken or beef shawarma. One pita comes with every meal, and it's cut in half. I like to scoop everything else (including the rice) into my pita and make my own shawarma in a pita. There's a reason for this, which I'll get to in a bit. The rice has onions and some kind of legume in it. It's really tasty. They skimped on the portions today though. That was kinda sad. The salad has beets, tomatoes, pickles, lettuce, onions and some other things I'm forgetting to name. Fresh stuff. Very tasty. I've mentioned their hummus above. They drizzle olive oil on it and it makes the hummus that much better. I ask them to cover my entire plate in tahina. Mmm.
I don't get the 2 shawarma wraps for $6.99 because I prefer having the rest of my plate to eat after I finish my one handmade shawarma wrap, and there's considerably more left over in my plate after I stuff my one handmade shawrama wrap silly than there would be if I got the 2 shawarma wraps.
Today was grandpa's first time having shawarma. Even before eating it, he took a look at the shawarma and said, "You know what? I'm pretty sure that's going to taste good." He was right.
