Towny Shawarma

I have driven past this location for years seeing signage up, but, kraft paper and a bedsheet hanging in the front window. I was convinced it was a failed startup. Driving by a couple of weeks back, I was surprised to see the paper down and an open sign in the window. I stopped by on Friday to grab an early dinner and see what was happening. The place is still getting set-up, it's brand new and clean inside, but, there was an unhooked panini press on the floor in the lobby and it looks like they're still working out the kinks and adjusting to demand. I was told they'd been very busy the day I went. There was a spit of chicken spinning, but, I saw no beef. I heard the gentlemen discussing falafel as well. There are no prices listed on the menu board and at the moment it's cash only. I decided on a chicken shawarma plate and a chicken shawarma wrap. There is no dine-in option, so the food was taken to go. The food was very good, the chicken was carved straight from the spit, it was mildly spiced, juicy with charred crispy edges. The veggies were fresh and the sauces (tahini, garlic, hot and hummus) were all delicious. The basmati rice was moist and flavourful, although a tad oily. The portion sizes were extremely generous and I thought they offered excellent value. The 'plate' is actually 2 containers, one with rice, protein and sauces, the other containing the vegetables (salad). I wish there was a better dressing for the salad, the one prepared for me simply had tahini and garlic on it. The wrap was generous as well, my dining companion really enjoyed it. We were very happy with our meals overall. I will definitely return to support this addition to the neighbourhood. The pictures I am posting don't really do the meals justice as they were taken about 30 minutes after I left. They're more for a visual of portion size (the containers were stuffed to capacity).

Honestly. It was disgusting. Order 2 chicken shawarma plates to go. Wife threw hers out after the first bite. Giant piece of skin and full of fat. First bite out of mine found a bone. Kept go
