Thanks to these reels and no thanks at the same time...
In 2017- I was getting my fav food from Adel's in like 10 minutes, now it's a 1-a 2-hour line out there (due to these reels/TikTok).
And, thanks to these reels, I got to know about Shawarma Bay, so not sure, if I should be furious over these hyped reels/videos or not.. hahaha.
I was there last night, and as usual, there was 2 hours line at Adel's and then I remembered about Shawarma Bay. Just 2 blocks north of Adel's cart, you can see a black food truck. But one second, there was a line here as well, WTH!!
No worries, it only took 35 minutes (hahaha, I know, less evil concept) to get my food. Shawarma Bay guy would come to you while you are in the queue and take your order in advance.
We ordered a mixed platter (Chicken + Chapli kabab)...
When it was our turn, they asked choice of sauce, and we were good to go.
You have 5 options for sauce-
* White Sauce
* Tzatziki sauce (ghost sauce of Wendy's
* Hot Sauce
* BBQ Sauce
* Lemon Herb
* Hummus
A bed of long grain, fluffy rice with a mix of veggies, crispy fries, and sauce: a combination of this- too good. 4.5/5...
no big chunk pieces like Adel's...Chapli Kabab is the main hero and highlight of this platter. Juicy, soft tasty - something different than halal carts...
(I am not complaining about Adel's, but lately, they were not consistent with the quality of food, and I have been going there since 2017... last time there were big chunk chicken pieces in my food, did they forget to chop them?)
The price is $12 for the platter and, the same for the wraps. They also serve Vanilla custard for $6.
Something controversial here guys and I wanted to bring this attention, especially to Hindu folks who do not eat beef!
When I asked for a mixed platter (chicken + lamb), The shawarma guy mentioned that 'they don't keep Lamb on their menu...
In fact, anyone serving lamb (he named that famous food cart) with the same price as chicken, they are lying, it's 70-80% beef and they are lying to you.
I was shocked, and not sure how to react, so ordered a chicken item only.
