Chez Sindibad

Slow, disorganized service. Potatoes were soggy (microwaved).
My merguez pita sandwich was good, though. And the prices are good.

My friend was telling me about this place saying they have super cheap stuff.
$ 3 for a shish taouk or shawarma sandwich, $ 2 for a falafel or vegetarian sandwich.
Most other plates are between $ 5 – 10, and they offer fast food items like wings and burgers.
A lot of places that are super cheap (normally next to student areas) fail since they skimp on so much like quantity and quality and it’s just not worth it.
I stuck to a couple of sandwiches and a soup (lentil), the chicken sandwich was not bad and the size is comparable to what’s served elsewhere.
They were running low on beef shawarma, so the guy proceeds to plop 2 huge spoons of hummus, and places about a dozen beets and tomato slices in the sandwich to make up for the lack of beef. As if I can’t tell.
The guy at the counter had such a poor attitude, serving the people before me with disdain and not even acknowledging me for 2 full minutes as i’m waiting there.
Even his co-​worker had to tell him to chill a bit.
Everybody’s allowed to have a bad day, but if he’s like that everyday, he’s driving customers away.
I guess it’s ok if you minimize your interactions with this guy (he has the glasses) or ask for delivery.
I might give it an extra star if i ever have to go back and the service is better.
