The Take
Order the chicken shawarma plate or saj sandwich with extra garlic sauce and pickles. Fresh meat carved straight off the spit beats every combo meal on the board.
Status seekers chasing big platters with fries miss the point. This is for people who want real Lebanese street food without the industrial sides.
The Verdict
The core shawarma delivers on every promise of street civilization. Skip the upsell combos that bury it in oil.
Ask for saj bread and double toum. They will hook it up.
