If we would crave for something persian, our default place to go to has always been Ababu Persian Kitchen right across Xavierville. But just to satisfy our curiosity about the reviews that we have been reading about Shawarma Snack Center, we headed there after attending an event that was held around the area.

The picture above is the only order I appreciated. It is the Mixed BBQ Kabbab @P195. The rest of the stuff we ordered like that of the Regular Shawarma Sandwich. We did not get the “special” variant when we found out that the only difference between the two is the size. We were there for a taste test, anyway. Nothing special about their shawarma. Their garlic sauce even tasted more of a regular mayonnaise than that of a real persian garlic sauce. Everyone on the table agreed. Ababu it is still, hands down.

The one good thing that I liked about Shawarma Snack Center is the fact that we can stay in an enclosed area where cigars are not allowed. As opposed to Ababu which has always been an open area. But it could be just us or maybe we ordered the wrong dishes. Just in case you’d like to try Shawarma Snack Center for yourselves, here’s their address.
