Taste Of Lebanon

Review #16 of Unilocal’s 30 Day Challenge 2012
Another shawarma place in Calgary? Why the heck not? It’s one of our few late night food meets cheap eats options in the city. And if you’re replacing a weird kitchen store I never went into with a food eating place I will go into, all the power to you.
I do believe Taste of Lebanon is an offshoot of Shawarma King. Why do I say this? It says Shawarma King underneath the name in the restaurant. Yeah, I know… not just a pretty face!
It’s clean, it’s got your typical shawarma options (and I must admit the guy making up my shawarma platter today was also easy on the eyes. Can’t go wrong with cute guys making me food! Regardless. it’d get a 4 star anyway: p). I ordered the lamb shawarma platter. It’s a good thing I was hungry. My plate got piled high with veggies, sauces, a potato, rice and meat. I ate in and the guy working was like, «No problem, just pay when you’re done eating.» And so I did. And I got a piece of complimentary baklava with my meal. I love baklava. That was a nice treat :).
The only thing I questioned a bit was the pita that also came with my platter. It seemed an after thought. As in, cute guy grabbed one that he’d normally turn into a wrap. Is that unusual? Seemed to be. But heck, it came in handy for ripping up into pieces and scooping up parts of my meal.

Had a lamb shawarma. Definitely good eats. Had the large wrap, and he really loaded it up. Going here again, for sure.
