This place definitely
did not have a promising beginning. The help seemed confused, the
shawarma a little shaky and the whole mechanism just about broken.
Luckily I decided to give the place a second try a couple months after
their grand opening in order to give them a chance to hit their stride.
While some of the help still look a little lost, and the experience
is never the same twice in a row (sometimes they offer hummus in your
pita, sometimes not. Sometimes there are weird sauce flavors available
for your chicken, other times not). I chalk it up to a new-ish business
doing user testing, checking the public's tolerance for fancy-fancy
bbq sauce at a middle-eastern restaurant. They've even started to
sell hot dogs and hamburgers (complete with plastic display out front).
You know, everything to everyone. Myself, I go for the grilled chicken
pita, which sometimes comes with hummus and sometimes not. Along with
a grilled chicken patty in a pita, you get your choice of three "salads"
that they stuff in there. I choose the cucumber/tomato jumble, along
with the tabouli and corn salads. Top that shit with a little tahini
(a kind of thin, whitish version), and throw it into a thick pita
and you have a pretty damn tasty treat. I really didn't expect much
from this joint, which smacks of bad chain joint (Chicken
Bar, anyone?), but they actually make a decent product. Granted,
I'd rather not pay $7.50 for the thing, but schnorrers can't be choosers.
