Very disappointed. I went there today to try out the new Shawarma from the Golden balance and it took about 30 minutes for it to be ready and it truly felt like they just took the chicken meat from the Gyro put it in to the Shawarma added some pickles and called it a day. It lacked a lot of flavor inside and the only good part was the taste of the wrapping. I don’t know how people like this new Shawarma or maybe I just got a bad order but I would not recommend. However, for their chicken nuggets, it’s even worse. The chicken nugget tasted like fake meat. The inside was rubbery. The outside was very hard felt like it was something old and frozen. I think they’re only good thing would be the regular original gyros
