It bodes well to see the downtown area supporting more and more diverse restaurants, and Shawarma Khan http://www.shawarmakhan.com is a welcome addition to the culinary landscape.
We shared the Wrath of Khan, which is essentially a "super loaded"shawarma. The pita was filled with chicken, beef, lamb and falafel, then veggies and sauces of your choice are loaded on top. Also the beef and lamb platter.
The sandwich was quite large, though for $13.99 you would hope so, and very tasty.
Unfortunately the platter was a bounty of disappointment. the rice was toothy, no, actually just downright hard, and the potatoes were cold. The pita was chewy and the hummus very average. The bean salad was almost there, but needed some flavour, while the tabbouleh was screaming with cinnamon, a nice twist if it was way more subtle.
Their Baklava however was amazing. Filled with pistachio and perfectly sweetened, these tender morsels made me swoon.
The place is new, so they need time to iron out some problems, and that sandwich was really good, so check them out. It's a great thing to have some healthy and quick food right in the downtown.
