Tasting
| Fillings | ||
| Al Ijaza | -2/5 | That’s minus 2 out of 5. Fillings included hot lettuce, tomato, tahina and others. It was a vegetarian bonanza + chicken. Completely unlike a traditional chicken Shawerma. No. No. No. |
| Al Farooj | 3/5 | Good garlic content but there were no fries. |
| Al Mallah | 5/5 | Garlic, pickles and fries. Check, check, check. |
| Al Safadeh | 5/5 | Garlic, pickles and fries. Check, check, check. |
| Chicken | ||
| Al Ijaza | 1/5 | I couldn’t taste the chicken from mess that was inside the Shawerma. |
| Al Farooj | 5/5 | The best taste and quality chicken. |
| Al Mallah | 3/5 | Average. |
| Al Safadeh | 3/5 | Average. |
| Others | ||
| Al Ijaza | 3/5 | Great size and service. With just a honk of my horn the Shawerma was delivered to mar car step. |
| Al Farooj | 2/5 | It was too clean and lacked the street Shawerma spunk. It reminded me of Hardees with an Arabic twist. |
| Al Mallah | 5/5 | Epitome of a street Shawerma, grunge, car exhaust and all. |
| Al Safadeh | 1/5 | Size of the Shawerma was too big. Street Shawermas should fit in the palm of your hand. I would rather have two small ones then one big one. |
The Results
- Al Mallah with 13 points
- Al Farooj with 10 points
- Al Safedeh with 9 points
- Al Ijaza with 0 points
Further Breakdown
| Fillings + Chicken | Others | Total | |
| Al Mallah | 8 points | 2 | 13 |
| Al Farooj | 8 points | 5 | 10 |
I am trying to demonstrate that Al Mallah won because it was characteristic of a true street Shawerma.
If you’re going for the cleanest out of the four go for Al Farooj.
What do you guys think? Agree? Disagree?
I already know two people that would disagree. Bring on the comments.
