You coming in from out of town?

If so, head over to Park Bar and get the chicken shwarama. It's close. The crowd at Park is always welcoming and you'll probably find someone to talk to to pass the time, if you'd like that, otherwise you can be left alone. Also, the schwarama is approaching local legend status, but you don't have lines like a lot of the other places. Here's an article:

Park Bar and Cliff Bell's are next door to one another.

The chicken shwarma is the best I have ever eaten. But heed this warning: The garlic sauce that comes with it can kill the weak, elderly or infirm.

Then it's authentic... I eat alot of authentic middle-eastern food so that level of garlic would be ok with me! I must try this place!

Then try the $2.50 garlic paste in the cooler @ The New Yazmin Bakery. It'll clear up last seasons congestion!

Yipee! I like it strong enough to make your ears burn! But I can take the lighter versions that also out there at some restaurants. Thanks.
