You can get in and out fast (the menu is limited to accommodate this) so it's a great takeout choice for lunch or dinner. Sandwiches, salads, entree plates and appetizers are among the offerings. Try the terrific chicken sandwich ($2.25), which is shredded chicken, garlic sauce and tomatoes rolled in a pita bread. It's delicious and one of the best bargains on the menu. The beef and chicken shawarma sandwiches ($3.45 each) are made with spiced and marinated slices of beef or chicken grilled on a spit. A whole chicken ($6.95) or a half ($3.75) comes with pita bread and garlic sauce. The garlic sauce is creamy and white and to die for!
