| - Can't get much worse than this. Wanted the kefta kabob, overheard some conversation behind the counter saying it was frozen, was told "we don't have that." OK, so I ordered the basic chicken shwarma pita (becuase the plate was priced at around $12, which seemed pretty pricey for this run-down looking place). My chicken didn't come from the usual rotating shawarma stick - nope, it came from a metal bin of pre-cut chicken that was sitting on the grill. I thought 'no big deal' as I've seen other shawarma places do this when they're busy (although these guys weren't). Well the chicken was so dry and burned it was actually crunchy. Not cripsy, but CRUNCHY. And had that burned, charred dried out taste and crumbly texture. Pita they use tastes stale. They charge extra for extra hummus??? To top it all off, tried to pay by credit card, woman couldn't figure out how to produce a copy of the receipt for me, when I asked for the copy she already printed, she tells me "No, you can't have that. We need that." And proceeds to keep fiddling for another few minutes to try and print one. I gave up, took my disgusting shwarama and walked out. Waaaaay too many decent middle eastern restaurants in the city to bother going back here. Stay away.
