And it's unbelievably hot in there. They've got the shwarma cookers going full blast right in the patrons' faces. And the service very slow. The guys working behind the counter are dazed and confused. The food is bad. And it’s unbelievably hot in there. They’ve got the shwarma cookers going full blast right in the patrons’ faces.

The guy who picked up the phone (the owner, I think) told him that his order would be on the house. Who else in Midtown would do that?

Chicken shwarma -- totally dry, tasteless and in the words of my co-worker, "probably the worst chicken I've ever had". Also, everything was dripping with or sitting in lemon juice -- even the hummus! The baba ghanouj was actually tasty but overly pureed so it slid through my fork in viscous dribbles. Are there any other Lebanese take-out places in midtown? I’m totally with prodigal on this joint.

I've had much better luck getting good felafel and shwarma at kosher deluxe. Although I prefer lebanese to israeli style (and would go to B&O for kibbe alone), I had given up on that place.
