We got a shawarma plate, and it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was so juicy and fresh, and the hot sauce and hummus paired perfectly with the rice. It was a tasty treat!

Had a disappointing experience here. The cook was rude when I asked for hot sauce and handed it to me in an unfriendly manner. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this location.

I ordered a shawarma plate to go with no salad and sauce on the side.
The shawarma is white meat which is their first mistake and cardinal sin. White meat is so inherently dry, even when cooking low and slow on a spit. Even worse, after the cut the meat off the spit, they then RECOOK it on a flat top in oil. Crisped up edges would be great on juicy, tender dark meat cuts, but already dry white meat then fried? It was crunchy chicken almost all the way through with a dry chewy center. Not to mention, its gotta be 3oz of chicken, tops
Also, the meat had the flavor of the salad that asked to not be there - likely from some of the salad sliding out on top of the chicken in transit. It would be shameful to compare this to shawarma from other areas. Even as close as Vancouver, BC theres an abundance of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean restaurants with incredible shawarma compared to this. Its a travesty, really.
The rice is fine. Lemony, which might go well in the dish if the chicken were fatty, juicy and nott overcooked, but this dry chicken crisp/jerky combo plus a relatively sour rice aint doing it for me. The pita was good, soft and tasty. I think the hummus is probably good, but again, tasting mostly just the salad I didnt want to taste.
Having seen tons of great reviews, this was an extremely disappointing meal. Wont be back.
