Mix Grill is doneski and will be replaced by a spot called Baba Ganoush within the next few weeks.

Get the signature “Mix Grill” plate. It’s $10 and it’s enough for 3 people: Chicken shish kebabs, steak shish kebabs, grape leaf, rice with mixed nuts, some vegetables with hot and white sauce. I think I’m going to get it delivered over here today since it’s raining cats and dogs.

Olympic Pita has the best shawarma in Midtown.

mangostrawberry: Not in the 50s, but Mr. Broadway does an awesome chicken shawarma. Get it in their pita. Their condiments buffet area is amazing, too. It’s pretty pricey now, though. Defs not under $10. But it’s Friday, why not, if you’re considering a trek anyway… (Bway & 38th)

Yvo – never had shawarma! you gotta try it

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shawarma check that out to start off with

usually it’s a sandwich served in a pita.. that comes off those rotating spits like you see in the photo.. sometimes the lamb has too much filler in it (not sure exactly what they put there but it’s not 100% lamb)

JustNancy – they put onions and I believe some cucumber in there..I just told them to make it how they think it should be made.. which I find is the best way to sample something like that, and also I think it makes cooks/chefs happy when they hear that.

Shawarma wrap sounds absolutely fantastic. Where else can I get one in Midtown; anywhere in the 50’s? Or else I’ll just have to trek to Sahara Grill shortly.

They are actually pretty common – Sahara Grill on 40th & 7th churns them out non-stop at lunch

Nothing like having your juicy meat snugly wrapped at noon … wanna do lunch Mamacita?

Shawarma WRAP? Weird. What else was in it? Looks like you got some relishy looking vegetables in there. Did you get to choose your “fillings”?
