    "The chicken shawarma is not a shy dish. The chicken is so deep and flavorful, and the pickled radishes give you a sour crunch that perfectly completes this wrap." - Chef Chester Gerl Read more

    Chicken Shawarma: Juicy shreds of spit-roasted chicken are as good as you could hope for, but it's the lemon-garlic sauce that makes this sandwich a real knockout. Read more

    Come here for the shawarma, especially the Chicken Shawarma Sandwich. It also worth trying the Rotisserie Chicken. Add a Zaatar Pie to your order too!

    Lentil soup is a MUST. Add hummus to any shawarma and thank me later (totally worth the extra 50 cents)!

    With Karam's chicken shawarma, it's all about the toum, the lemony Lebanese garlic sauce, spit-carved chicken rolled up in a pita and smooshed in a sandwich press. Read more

    Chicken shwarma! The lemon-garlic sauce is the real secret here. Their hummus is also very good due to a strong addition of garlic.
