While I was on International Ave, I checked out another spot and grabbed takeout for later. That spot was The Desert Pita & Grill; seriously, so many Middle Eastern places in the area. They have two other locations (Marlborough and Dover-Erin Woods).
There's two entrances and tons of seating inside. When I stepped in, there was no else there but that was probably because it was 3:00pm on a Saturday. The service is fast but the only worker there was pretty cold towards me.
- Lamb donair ($9.00 regular) - the unfortunate part is that they don't cut the meat freshly from the rotating skewers; they grabbed the meat from a gray tin where it was being kept warm. However, nice touch how they press your pita to give it a crunch. The donair was tasty and held up well given that I didn't eat it for several hours. A tad on the salty side but other than that, solid.
- Baklava ($5.00 box) - $1.25/piece otherwise there's a couple boxes lined up along the counter to grab. My box had 5 pieces with two different types of baklava and both were delicious. Homemade, fresh, crunchy and sweet. Give me more.
