| - The place
I think this is a converted sandwich shop if memory serves, but the new guys didn't let that stop them from making it feel new and cool. It is an open kitchen so you can watch the cooks putting your food together and there is much steel used throughout - has a modern feel. The only thing I'll knock if for is having a TV hanging on the wall. Why do all restaurants feel like they MUST have a TV?
The food
This is why you're here - the food. My wife and I shared a chicken shawarma pita + fries and a falafel salad. The salad had six generous falafel on a bed of romaine lettuce, feta cheese, tomato, onion, and a tangy lemon vinaigrette. The falafel were well spiced and came alive when dabbed with the tahini? sauce that came with it. The pita had many of the same ingredients as the salad, romaine lettuce, onion, tomato, and to top it off well seasoned chicken and a tzatziki that was dill-icious. The crinkle cut fries were a good balance of crisp and fluffy. It's hard to mess up fried potatoes.
The bottom line
The lunch "specials" are really only a few cents off the regular prices, but for under $10 you walk away feeling like you've eaten real-whole-food, not some over processed junk from a tube. I highly recommend the items that we sampled and I'm sure I'll be back to try the gyros.
