Zay Zaman A Review by Hassan Hawash

Whenever I go grocery shopping over at Ammar’s or get a haircut at Othman’s, I look forward to a shawarma at Zay Zaman’s. It’s a real treat, a snack cum meal, a good fill. The Middle East’s answer to fast food is not only flavourful, but healthy as well and oh do the good people over at Zaman do it so well.

Having indulged in shawarmas in many a restaurant in the Middle East and a few here in Kitchener, Toronto and Winnipeg, I’ve come to appreciate the experience and effort that is a Zaman shawarma. I love it that the always fresh pita bread is dabbed generously with a touch of lemon infused garlic sauce, a healthy helping of pickles and then a veritable smorgasbord of healthy fixings to choose from before the crispy chicken is shaved per order off the rotisserie spit. Copious amounts of the shaved chicken are then placed in the pita pockets. After that, for added taste Yussef gave my shawarmas a brush up against behind the spit along the heat and then on the grill for good measure for a few minutes. This process turns out a great mouthwatering delicious zesty full on chicken shawarma wrap.

To literally wrap up, you get great bang for your buck at Zaman’s where you’ll get the true taste you are supposed to experience. We keep coming back for more. Irrestible!!!
