Pakmode, sorry to disagree with you about Wadi Foods. Their
$3 sandwich is preferable to a Big Mo burger any day of the week, but it is two levels below Al Tanoor.
The flavouring in the chicken shawarma tasted only of black pepper and harshly so. Not much chicken in it.
The kebob is whole story.
First they tried giving me a pre-cooked kebob that was sitting in a pan of fluid. I refused it. So they cooked another on the grill. It was on for a long, long time and there was a whole lot of pressing down with a "flipper". Finally I said please don't over cook, can I have it now. So they gave it to me, leaving others that had been put on the grill at the same time to continue cooking. Mine was still overcooked.
They rack may have been too low. The flames were coming out of the grill constantly . My kebob tasted strongly of the black soot .
I expected tastes such as cardamon and cumin, but they weren't there. I don't understand how the taste of the kebob was created, leaving the soot aside. Both items tasted as if prepared by inept beginners.
The pita was nothing special. If you go, persist in asking for more salads in your sandwich. The turnip is soft and fluorescent in colour. A bad sign. Didn't like the hummous either. Tasted green and sharp instead of nutty and smooth.
Nothing nice here. But it is hard to make something really bad in this style of cooking, consequently I prefer Wadi to Big Mo but this is not much of a compliment.
