Deee-licious! I had the falafel mezze platter and the dolmas, they were both so good I ate until I was stuffed. The tzatziki was particularly excellent.
The food was good. I got the sampler mezza with beef kebabs. All the food was done well and they gave a healthy portion of tzatziki on the side which was very good. The only complaint I have is that it's a sampler plate and with three different spreads to sample, I received only one small pita on the side. I did ask for another pita at the cart after receiving the order and was accommodated but seems like this should be a given considering you're sampling dips. Still very good quality dips and kebobs.
Staff is very nice & diverse. Ambiance is across the gamut of millennials, early 20-something's' & multigenerational residents. BONUS-has pool table & darts. A lot of customers were chillin' outside & looks like this is a regular occurrence.
I love this cart. Oh well, haters gonna h8. I'll drive across the city for one of their plates, they're so good! They consistently hook it up with the large portions, plus lots of sides. I typically order the Mixed Meat Plate. Come with chicken kebab, which is my fave. Get a baklava, too. Very tasty. A solid choice if you have a big appetite, like me lol
Found this cart next to Bing Mi, so got a chicken shawarma plate for the kid while we waited to get food from bing mi. Nice gentleman took the order and food was prepared fresh on a pan and ended up being delicious! Great flavors on the chicken and garlic sauce and hummus. I had to steal few bites from the kid since the crepe from bing mi did not do anything for me. This was so much fresher and tastier! I am a lover of shawarma anywhere, but tried to be adventurous with a chinese crepe on my trip. Chicken shawarma would have been a much better meal in this group of food carts. Should have known when some construction folks sitting at the table were waiting for food from here. Hot fresh flavorful foods that fills you up, seems the local guys know what to eat for lunch. Kid had his fill and we took leftovers to hotel. He ate the leftovers later in the day and still enjoyed it, so he's a fan!
This food truck is located in the small area of other food trucks like Bing Mi, etc. We tried the falafel mezze which was a generous amount of food for $13 including tax. The order comes with falafel, a slightly spicy dipping sauce, pita, hummus, baba ganoush, and tzatziki. The falafel is crispy and has just the right amount of moisture, and pairs well with the slightly spicy dipping sauce. The tzatziki is refreshing and the baba ganoush is good. The hummus is a bit pasty and the pita bread is not too soft, so those were some misses. Even though this is one of the less busy food trucks in the area, it still takes 10-15 minutes for the order to complete.
I tried the lamb Shawarma Wrap ($14) and it was a big boy. Full of fresh parsley, tomato and juicy lamb flavor wrapped in a warm toasted tortilla. Comes with a side of tuum (garlic cream) and parsley sauce. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the lamb wasn't as tender of a cut as I usually have with shawarma, more like steak bits this time, but still juicy. Also, their address is incorrect on Yelp, use google maps.
This review is for a deliver order: Being middle eastern myself, I look for cooking from regions where my family isn't from. I like to see how different areas make similar things. Abbas was good. The non meat items we had were excellent. We had falafel, tzatziki, hummus, baba ganoush, and awesome bread. Both their flat bread and rosemary bread were awesome. The meats we tried were ok. We had 3 kinds and their chicken was the best. The others were just ok. They were greatly enhanced by their yogurt and their mint sauces. Go check them out. The food is pretty solid.
The lamb Schwab a plate is my go-to! The lamb is tender and juicy with hints of lemon and rosemary, served over a bed of jasmine rice with salad on the side, it is a very satisfying meal. Order the rosemary bread and one or two of the sweet date cookies and your set for two meals! Located in the Colony food truck pod in the heart of St. John's, the aroma of grilled meat is so intoxicating. In addition to lamb, they have tender chicken and gyro meat, both of which I also love. All can be made into a gyro or the plate dinner. They also have falafels if that's your thing. Plenty of tables in both sun and shade to enjoy your meal there. Friendly service and food is made fresh.
