Mr. Shawarma is a dream. Tall. Dark. Handsome. Just a hunk of meat, if you catch my drift *wink wink*.
Basically, shawarma is a delicacy from the Near and Middle East, consisting of meat and seasoning roasted together into a pure miracle. Not completely dissimilar from a Greek gyro or a Turkish doner kebab. Generally served in a wrap or a pita with any one of a variety of sauces, spices, and vegetables.
First of all, I highly recommend the shawarma wrap with garlic sauce, a *little* spicy seasoning, hummus, and ALL THE VEGGIES. Basically, it's to-die-for, filling comfort food in a convenient handheld package. The sandwiches, wraps, platters, etc. are assembled right in front of you, so you can see the freshness of the food as well as your many filling options laid out before you. Everything, everything as far as the light touches could be yours, Simba! For the mere price of $11!
Mr. Shawarma also serves bar-none ~the best~ falafel I've ever eaten in my life. Little pillows of light, flavorful perfection with a crispy, crunchy exterior. The owner has given interviews giving little hints to his secret. I personally think it has more to do with addictive drugs, magic, and pixie dust, but maybe it's frying temperature. Who's to say?
Stop in on Mondays and Tuesdays if you want a free falafel appetizer and soft drink with your meal (and, trust me, you do)!
Update: also tried the beef kabob kufta platter, which consists of enough food to feed a small army. And every single part of it is delicious. Choose the falafel over the fries...just my advice.
Note: be sure to check hours before heading over. They close pretty early on Fridays (3 pm) and don't open again until Sunday. Those might just be the hardest 24-36 hours of your life, so save yourself the disappointment.
