replying to u/BenR1ghtBack: Agree to disagree. Love their falafel and hummus. The hummus shawarma dish is excellent and great portions. Shawarma is a bit on the dry and salty side, so I get where you’re coming from, but I’m always eating it in a giant vat of hummus so that has it tasting great to me. Wife loves their cheese arayes.

replying to u/stockscalper: btw if anyone has a recommendation for sandwiches from different regions like LatAm, Africa, Eastern Europe, Mediterrean, Asia (other than Viet banh mi's) -- let me hear it. I eat too many Italian subs because all the online reco's are 80% Italian like Defonte or Parisi
