I was surprised at how much flavor was packed into the Chicken Shawarma Rice Bowl I had for lunch today. The Garlic Spread was the icing one the cake! The ladies behind the counter were great explaining on “what next” as I progressed through the line. The small bowl of soup was a good touch.

To be truthful, I was a little shocked that the meal and the cup for lemonade came to about $29.62, however the portion was more than enough.
