I absolutly love this place and their Chicken Saj styled wraps! . Everything always tastes so fresh and full of flavor! Their chicken is always so juicy and tender- Hands down the best chicken shawarma wrap in Hamilton. . What's also so great with this location is the people! the workers are always cheerful-talking with the customers and asking them how they're doing-its like a giant family-this type of service is hard to come by these days! . AND THEY ARE SO APPRECIATIVE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS that while I happened to be waiting in line for my food, my husband, mother in law and I were offered a cup that had a chopped up banana with chocolate and pistachio drizzled all over! FOR FREE!!!! LIKE -speechless! . I love this place and anyone in the Hamilton area or visiting should deffanently make a stop here! You won't regret it! It's HIGH quality chicken shawarma DONE RIGHT! 😉
