| - Like others, I have driven past this place several times and thought I would satisfy my beef shawarma craving by finally giving this place a try. I dined in and ordered the beef shawarma plate with salad, rice and potatoes.
On the positive side, service was quite fast and indeed the potatoes were delicious. If you like sauces, they are quite generous with your choice of hummus, garlic, hot sauce and tahini to your heart's delight. The generous portion of rice was tasty too.
Unfortunately, my overall experience was mixed for the following reasons. Although fairly generous, the beef shawarma was more like gyro meat in terms of texture and taste. Therefore, I wouldn't say that it is authentic, traditional beef shawarma. My salad portion was rather small and primarily iceberg lettuce. One can get enough of a good thing as my plate was oversauced. I would have rather had a bit more salad than the two pools of extra sauce on my plate. Finally, service-wise, I did not receive a "thank you" at any point during the ordering or serving process. As a brand new customer, this bugs me. There are so many other dining options available in the area. I would have given this establishment an additional star if I had been shown a bit of basic appreciation for my patronage.
Given other endorsements, I might go back and try their chicken shawarma. If I don't a get a "thank you" then, it will be my last visit.
