    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.

    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.

    Lamb Shawarma Wrap ($14)  why hello there big boy
    Sean R.

    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.

    mixed meat plate, mmm
    Nick S.

    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

    Falafel and soft bread
    Erin B.

    First time here and it blew away any expectations. The chicken in both our plate and schwarma was so tender and seasoned perfectly. Super fresh produce in the plate and in our side of tzatziki. The falafel and soft bread were so delicious. I may have over-stuffed myself on that soft bread, but totally worth it. I couldn't stop. The hot sauce was an excellent addition to spice things up in all the dishes now and then. The cookies were a unique treat that I enjoyed a lot -- just sweet enough and a light finish to a great meal. Highly recommend this cart. We'll be keeping it in mind for future takeout nights!

Reviewing the menu, there were lots of yummy things to choose from but ultimately we both could not resist the Lamb shank. I'm sad I didn't take a picture of it. It was so tender and delicious. It came with perfect Basmati rice and a side of eggplant stew that was exquisite! I've never had eggplant stew and it was luscious. I dream to about it all night long. It was quiet, comfortable, music was great; songs we all know but with native instruments and flare. We had house red wine - not a big selection of alcohol, which is fine the food is and should be the star. Our sever (Sorry my old lady brain forgot his name) but the good looking bald guy(LOL) was nice and personable. It was such a great low key dining experience that just made the day even better.

You can tell they are happy to be there and share their cuisine. We started with warm Meat Warak Enab (Grape leaves filled with seasoned ground beef, basmati rice, and chick-peas, simmered with lemon, olive oil, garlic, and herbs) and they were some of the best I've had if you compare them to dolmas. The pita bread was served in a plastic bag which is a bit off-putting (but worked great for a to-go bag and did keep the pitas warm). It was soft and fresh and tearable for their incredible hummus and baba ghannoj. I got the Maza Al-Amir "Lebanese Tour" with kharouf (which is Arabic for lamb). It was the most succulent lamb I've had in my life on a bed of basmati rice with a few raisins (they blended in well) and a tangy fresh parsley/onion/tomato/lemon mixture alongside generous portions of hummus and baba ghannooj, a chilled veggie warak enab, and a crispy and flavorful falafel with some tabooli. They also served a special house red sauce and said it was to go with the rice. I loved it; it was like a beautiful homemade marinara. My friends had Turkish coffee and the aroma of cardamom around the table made my heart warm. I'll be back! Bisehetkon! (Cheers to a group)
