I visited during grand opening weekend and was excited to finally try them since their Robinson location has been on my list for some time. Purchased a variety of items to get a feel for what could become my go-to:
--- Mixed Kebab: A combination of chicken, beef, and kofta kebabs. I lovvvvve when meat is cooked on open flames, but this was unfortunately overcooked and not in the tasty charcoal way. The meat was tough, burnt-bitter, and difficult to chew. It was so inedible that not even sauce could save it. I can tell it would've been excellent if cooked properly, so it was disappointing that it turned out so badly. The sides (tabbouleh, rice, pita, and hummus), however, were delicious and fresh.
--- Wings: Also grilled and also burnt-bitter but not so tough to the point of being unchewable. I suppose the BBQ/buffalo sauce and the meatiness of the wings helped.
--- Chicken Shawarma Wrap: The best thing I purchased by far! Incredibly flavorful and filling. I could make a meal out of half. I got the saj and absolutely loved it.
All in all, the Chicken Shawarma Wrap saved the day so I haven't completely ruled out Scott's Shawarma. I'm unhappy that my meal planning for the next few days got derailed, but oh well.
Located downtown, parking is difficult to say the least. Something to keep in mind if you visit during busy times. read more
