| - First time trying this restaurant. We live in the area so thought we would finally give it a shot after seeing some reviews of it on Yelp.
Finding the location was a bit challenging. We had to circle around a couple of times and then finally saw the sign for it. It's behind a few other stores, and it is a fairly small location, so keep your eyes peeled when looking for it.
We ordered 2 chicken shawarma plates, one chicken shawarma sandwich, and one mixed grill. The food took about 10 minutes to get ready for takeout, which is a bit on the longer side considering most shawarma restaurants are "grab and go".
In terms of the quality of the food, I wouldn't call this shawarma. It tasted good, but it didn't taste like a shawarma. The meat is seasoned with some spices, which give it different taste than a traditional shawarma sandwich. I did enjoy the food, but I was disappointed in the fact that the taste was drastically different from other places - mainly because they use their own homemade sauces. I give them credit for putting in the effort to make it unique, but I don't think this should be called a "Shawarma" shop. More like a "Middle Eastern" shop.
Overall, I will still recommend this restaurant to friends, but give them the disclaimer about the taste before they order a shawarma sandwich!
