Editorial Review
Shawarmas twirl slowly behind the counter while an eclectic crew waits in line for cheap Middle Eastern fare: shish kebabs, falafel sandwiches, veal or chicken shawarma platters, and grape leaves wrapping nuggets of seasoned rice. Hanging rugs and framed postcards of Egyptian hieroglyphs provide ambience, but the ’70s-era wood panelling and torn photos of the food on offer encourage many to request takeout. Unlicensed. Mains $3–$6.
