| - How have I not reviewed Salem's yet? This place is great.
Falafel sandwiches are always good. (Ask for hot sauce on it. You won't be disappointed.) All of the gyros and shawarma are very good except the chicken - tends to have too many chewy bits (i.e., gristle).
I've had their shish kebab once, and it was mouthwateringly delicious, and their appetizers are outstanding: baba ganoush, hummous, tabbouleh. You can easily make a great picnic with a few of these. (I've done it before.)
The desserts are good, but nothing really special, for a Middle Eastern deli. (Always a good selection, though.)
Service is always friendly, but a little spotty on procedure. Sometimes I feel like I'm being asked impatiently for my order when I'm obviously still deciding, and sometimes I feel like I stand there for a couple of minutes before someone helps me. I feel guilty for being critical, though, because they are very friendly.
Decor leaves a lot to be desired: just an enormous linoleum an drop-ceiling cavern with a few Steelers pictures on the wall. (Bonus points for the garish, though colorful and friendly, murals on all of the exterior walls, though.) Parking's a bonus, too: they have a small private lot that relieves the on-street parking, so they're one of the rare Strip denizens that doesn't require a parking space hunt.
