Shawarma city

This has to be one of the hardest reviews I've had the displeasure to give. The reason is that the owner and operators were super friendly and nice people. I do not want to hurt their business, however - the food does not match the kind nature of the folks working at the place. The Shawerma was very dry and the general atmosphere was pretty lacking - even for a strip mall joint. Perhaps the food we received was an anomaly, so maybe judge for yourself by going there and giving it a try.

It’s been almost 8 years since the last time I had the REAL Shawerma sandwich 100% and that was in Syria. I’ve almost tried all Arab restaurants in Buffalo City, yet I never could enjoy or even say that I got Shawerma because they all made it look and taste like the regular chicken breast sandwich!! HOWEVER, I was amazed today when I tried the “Saj Chicken Shawerma” at this restaurant. I can finally say that I kinda ate shawerma sandwich ~ like 70%. Using the saj bread was a very good improvement that gave it yummy taste, thank you!!! I also like how it was served with strips of the pickled gherkins. My two notes are: 1) The saj bread must be slightly touched the flame of the infrared burners or whatever stovetop that you guys use. Could you please not forget this important step in order to make ElSaj taste much better! 2) The garlic sauce or toumia should be added to the menu as a dip and it should be spread as basis on the saj bread before placing the grilled chiken on. That would make the overall sandwich tastes yum and no less than any shawarma I would have had in any Middle Eastern restaurant in Arab countries.
