A Delightful Schwarma at Fattoush

I ate my 23rd* schwarma at Fattoush, a Lebanese restaurant on Ben Gurion street. Fattoush is not to be confused with Fattouch, also known as "Fat Touch," the fast-fod schwarma palce on St. Laurent street in Montreal where the vendor has a direct link to Hezbollah. This place was very different.

For starters, This was easily the best schwarma I had in Israel. Of course, this isn't exactly fair, because Fattoush is a sit-down place. They serve me the schwarma on top of a pita, with tons of delicious spices and the hummus and tehina sank in to the pita at the bottom. Oh wow. I've already eaten at Fattoush three times. The last time I had a chichen dish which was great but not stratospheric. The middle time, however, I had the Siniya, or Chinese plate. This was not Chinese at all. It was minced meat swimming in sauce which included tehina. It was unquestionably the best dish I had in Israel. Wow.

I'm not sure if this meat has been beef or keves (lamb) or hodu (turkey). But it doesn't matter. It's not kosher, and it's wonderful.
