Man working in evening is rude

I went to this tasty little place that serves what is essentially a halal version of Chipotle a couple of months ago. I presume they are Turkish, based on the pita being Turkish-style rather than the usual stuff you find in most Arabic spots, and on them serving doner/döner on a spit, but I'm not positive (pretty positive though, as I heard Turkish there.) The menu offers the standard choices found at similar spots, including a bowl, a wrap, or on a pita. However, the bowl options are a bit more unique, such as vermicelli rice along with the standard brown and greens. The dips are various mezzes from muhammara and labneh to the more standard hummus and smoked eggplant/baba ghanoush, and guacamole if you're confusing this for a Chipotle. For meat options, there's beef or lamb doner (or a mix of both for more) along with caramelized mushrooms, falafel, or roasted veggies. The remaining toppings include many options, including more Turkish/Arabic/Middle Eastern items such as sumac onions, shredded cabbage, and a tomato-and-onion salad and many others. There's also a bunch of sauce options, ranging from spicy to not so much, such as tahini and my preference, garlic whip/toum, among others.
I personally got a rice bowl, which starts at a reasonable $12.50 if you don't add any premium meat options. Along with vermicelli rice, I got a beef döner, which was $2.50 more, with roasted mushrooms as an additional protein, along with muhammara, baba, hummus, and a bunch of toppings, with the garlic whip and another sauce on top. The portion size was quite large and reasonable after tax, at about $17.50, including both toppings, though this would have been a couple of bucks less without the mushrooms. The rice was slightly buttery as it should be for a Turkish-style shop, and the meat was tender and flavorful, being much better than the relatively dry meat at German Doner Kebab. The various toppings were of good quality, with smoky baba ghanoush, a slightly thick hummus, and a solid muhammara, though I would have preferred more walnuts for texture. The rest of the toppings were fresh, with my preference being a lot of pickled and spicy ingredients, and the dish definitely packed a spicy hit. Of course, the toppings aren't as good as at a spot like Al Badawi or other similarly high-quality Arabic spots in the area, but for the price point, it's hard to complain much.
I hope another one of these opens up in Manhattan. In my opinion, I prefer either Flatiron or Curry Hill, as many of the old, good Arabic spots had closed due to the pandemic and would be welcomed by the locals in those places. There are a few other areas I think they would work as well, but those two would be my preference. If I were in the area, I would have gone back and tried a pita, but unfortunately, I don't live there anymore. Hope they do well, and they should.

This place serves the most authentic and delicious doner I’ve had in New York. The meat is tender, perfectly seasoned, and the portions are generous.
Everything is fresh, the staff is super friendly, and the atmosphere makes you feel right at home.
