| - This place triggers Ahmad's song "back in the day" in my head. Back in the day, they used to give two shawarma's for a fair price. Back in the day, the chicken used to be good. Back in the day I'd come at night for a bite here. If you don't get my riff, point is, now, this place is garbage. I give em a solid one star.
I went here last night after a long time. I had barely eaten all day, and just came from downtown looking for something open late. When you're that hungry it is hard to be disappointed, yet I was.
I had two chicken shawarma's ($12) plus a Coconut drink (Grace brand - $3...this is $1 at No Frills lol). The shawarma was really crap. The chicken looked good on the spit as one person mentioned, but the meat was hard and not really chewable. The size was okay, but stuffed with a lot of vegetables (vegetables okay). Sauces were nothing special. The value of two shawarma's is $6 at best, the quality is just so not good. The thing that annoyed me was the Coconut drink was three times the retail price, not to mention $0.50 for using debit. Seriously?
Oh, they also don't use gloves when making the wraps. Gross.
This place capitalizes on the fact they are one of the few places open late on Lawrence. I think Mickey D's woulda hit the spot better. I don't know of any other places open late for shawarma in Scarborough but you're better off taking a drive and going to Yonge Street for a bite this late.
