I discovered a delicious shawarma joint near my place of work that gives you a huge ass wrap with tons of filling, a can of soda and a side (a generous helping of rice, garlic potatoes or salad) for like 10 bucks cad. Next time all i'd do is ask for extra garlic sauce on the wrap cause it was a little dry. MFW shawarma places are the only thing giving me joy in this capitalist hellscape
Oh yum when I was in college there was one open 24/7 near my apartment it was the highlight of many a night.
shawarma is the best, the folks who own this place are syrian refugees. chuds who hate refugees clearly have never had good shawarma
Maybe, although I always prefer original vegan stuff to substitutes, and falafel is a thing that exists and is delicious
Good point, however I have yet to have falafel I like but I'm also a filthy American who has lived in small towns
Indeed they do. Have not tried it yet, as I have only been once, but it was an option for the wrap combo.
My favorite has always been the falafel-haloumi combo, or falafel and deep-fried veggies for the vegan version. Or both, but that's when you get into so much stuff going on that it's better to order a plate instead of a wrap. But hey, that leaves more room for tabbouleh and you can get fuhl and babaganush alongside your humus.
I just had an avocado baguette, but while i was writing my reply, i was constantly thinking of all my favorite falafel places i've been to during the last twenty years and damn, did that make me hungry.
I had the opposite experience a couple weeks ago, I acutally went into the Canadian Donair place I always get delivery from and found out it was a cop hangout. Like three cruisers in front, several sausage-necked pigs in booths, and a shitton of police memorabilia on the wall. Also, the owners looked like that racist couple in St. Louis who threatened BLM protesters with guns. I've stopped ordering from them, which honestly is for the best becuase those things are wicked unhealthy, you feel like absolute shit after you eat one.
Oh, its not a Mediterranean resturant. They specifically serve Canadian Donair which is a variant some guy in Nova Scotia came up with. Its fried donair meat with cheese, soaked in a white sweat sauce make of condensed milk and garlic. They throw in a few tomatoes and onions for color and wrap it in a pita. I think you can also get homestyle potatoes in it as well but I never went that far. As a side you can get fries or onion rings and nothing else.
Yeah, there’s a donair joint near me but it isn’t nearly as good as the shawarma. Bland toppings, low choice, meat that doesn’t come straight off a spit. The shawarma place stuffs the pitas with all sorts of vegetables, including delicious pieces of pickled turnip, I think? Too big to be a radish. Regardless, I walked in and the guy was stuffing my pita chock full (ordered ahead cause of Covid) and the spit was turning right behind him. Then he gave me a huge bowl of garlic potatoes. So much food. So good.
idk finding a good shawarma place would have been the highlight of my month during almost any point in my life. shawarma is fuckin good.
I found a really delicious shawarma place in brussels real close to the grand place and I was suuuper drunk and couldn't find it again the next night when I needed more of that good ass shawarma. such sad.
