Review from Duck D.

This is my second favorite place in Streetsville for a shawarma. My major complaint here is that the guy has no menu available, and when you ask him what he has he just says "shawarma" as if thats all they sell. If you ask for rice, he does have it in the back. If you ask for falafel, he will make it. So why does he only try to sell shawarma and nothing else? I just don't get it.. It's more like walking into somebody's living room rather than a shawarma place because there's no menus and no mentions of food anywhere! Very confusing choice by the guy here, I don't get that at all..
but aside from that, the shawarma is very tasty and I have always enjoyed my food from here. Go liberal on the hot sauce because it's pretty mild, and there's always bottles available for every table which is nice as well for sauce-a-holics
Very affordable, but beware the hours, seems to always be closed as soon as it gets dark out, definitely the shortest hours of all 5 shawarma places in Streetsville -

This one's located a bit north of the other Streestsville shawarma places (Pita Nutso, Osmow's, Taj Wrap, etc). The prices however are good (same as the other Streetsville ones pretty much) and the shawarma wrap itself is great. I wouldn't say the shawarma wrap is better than Pita Nutso or Osmow's, it might be on more visits but good enough for me. The sauce they use isn't as good which is probably why but it does have a unique taste and sometimes I enjoy it more.
What I found interesting was how this restaurant is set up. Unique little area with a bunch of interesting looking decor...I think it's actually Egyptian and not middle-eastern.
The other thing that makes this place different from the nearby shawarma places is that it's more of a small restaurant rather than fast food mainly cos of the menu. It includes stuff like babaganoush and some other stuff I don't understand on the appetizers, biryani which I'm fairly sure is actually an Indian dish, they have different types of shawarma plates (prices on these are a bit high though), and other than the regular shawarma...they also have a burrito shawarma, cheesy, Hawaiian or whatever. I haven't tried them out because when I went there, I didn't look at the menu but will give it a go later on. On the shawarma itself, he also uses a stir-fry of some sort rather than the usual vegetables (I usually ask for no turnips/pickles though).
Anyways, their shawarma isn't noticeably better than the other places but the other things on there menu make me wanna visit again.
EDIT: I was looking at the facebook page, their website doesn't show much but in the photo album there's a picture of some of the foods and you'll know what I mean when I say it looks interesting. Food always looks better in those pictures though.
