replying to u/TisNoot: Duzan. Shawarma is worse than any other option in the neighborhood. If it isn’t drenched in sauce it’s not edible. The most dry and bland food, paired with terrible customer service. God knows how they make so much money they were able to expand.
“Love their falafel and hummus. The hummus shawarma dish is excellent and great portions.”

replying to u/Hawkbit: Wow so many of these look amazing and I love that they show profiles of the sandwiches. Though some categories feel a bit underrepresented. I'd make a case for Duzans chicken shawarma to be included on the list. Only one torta/cemita on the list too which doesn't feel right considering how many torta trucks are in NYC. Definitely need a smoked whitefish sandwich of some sort on the list too

replying to u/Towelie404: I think the King’s shawarma kind of sucks, but the falafel is best in NYC. Duzan is where to go for shawarma, both beef and chicken.
