Rina Gone? Shwarma!

Rina has abandoned me for yet another exciting trip with Pardes, so I went out for Israeli comfort food - shwarma. This time I visited a store near the shuk, which for some bizarre reason was just as clean and orderly as the stand on campus. What won me over despite the 20 shekel price was their vast salad selection, each salad with its own utensil (it seems inconsequential, but it is impressive that they care to keep the flavours distinct). The taste was average, but the laffa was packed and the service was superb - the servers joked around, danced, and even let me swap out french fries in favour of felafel, something no other establishment has yet allowed. I wish I could remember the name of the stand so I could send them business, but I imagine that the above description really only matches one location within several blocks of the shuk.

When Kelly's away, I tend to order anchovy-and-onion pizzas. I have you to blame for that, my fellow Master of Anchovies.
