Called in to order lunch here today. I ordered a spicy chicken sammich with fries and a soda. I ordere spicy chicken sammiches a lot for lunch. So I have a few that I constantly compare to in regards to quality.
Man, I was not disappointed here today.
First off, the fries. Basic, non-seasoned, slightly thick french fries fried to golden perfection. I added a little salt to taste, but other than that they were perfect.
Now the sammich. The chicken breast itself was closer to Wendy's than Popeye's. Albeit it was far juicier than most Wendy's spicy chicken filets are. Also, I believe the breading on the breast itself had some seasoning/heat.
But the sauce on it was similar to Popeye's sauce. Really delicious with a hint of heat. Absolutely perfect pairing with the chicken. It came with lettuce and tomato on it, which I appreciate. So this isn't a traditional spicy chicken with just pickles. Personal preference, I like it with lettuce and tomato.
The veggies were fresh and smothered in the sauce. Every bite was full of flavor and juicy goodness. I would say this is one of the better spicy chicken sammies I've had.
Oh, and it cost me a little over $7 total with a drink. Boom!
10/10 and will be back again. And again and again most likely.
Edit: Came back for lunch today. Ordered the gyro in a pita with fries and baklava. The gyro is massive. Absolutely filled me up. And the lamb was delicious. Everything about it was great.
The baklava was a little different from most other baklava I've ever had. It had a satisfying crunch and tasted great. But it could have used a bit more honey on it. But honestly, I'll get it again next time I'm there. I love baklava.
Gotta stop in here. The food...
Read moreI was driving down Park Ave and spotted this place in a former donut shop building. Always ready to try a new sandwich shop, I pulled in and decided to give it a try. So glad I did!
It was hard to decide what to order.. Burger? Sub? Gyro? Reuben? I decided to go with the club sandwich and fries. It was one of the most well-crafted sandwiches I've ever had! The layering of everything was done so artfully. That's the only word I can use to describe it. Oh, and by the way, it was one of the most delicious club sandwich I've ever had. The generous order of fries were hot and crisp also. This was a large sandwich too! My dining partner had pastrami sub which was also excellent.
This is not fast food - you should expect to wait 10-15 min for your order. Most people will go for take out as seating is limited. I will definitely be back to try some of the other offerings like the hot dogs, wings, salads and middle eastern dishes. Try it,...
Read more500 Park ave Cafe. There's this wonderful woman by the name of Vivian who's is in this place cooking up something that'll not only make you smile but your heart and stomach too. I ordered the Chicken Tan wouk and rice. Let me tell you I was hit with wonderful flavors right away. Oh and that special sauce😯 amazing. I love sauces, so if you love sauces like me get a extra side, you don't need it! I just love sauces lol. I don't think I've ever had a middle Eastern dish so close to home. Oh it doesn't stop there. She also has wings (review coming soon) burgers, steak fries, Greek fries and the portions are definitely worth the price. She does everything herself. And believe me you can tell she loves and enjoys her amazing flavorful creations when you taste them. I will definitely be...
