Poppin Pita is a brand new, very small, shawarma
place next to a big mosque (a good indication in terms of authenticity). It
opened up only two days earlier, and serves only chicken and beef
shawarma, kabobs, and falafel, in sandwiches (all $5.99) and plates (half
$6.99, full $9.99).
I get the Beef
“Shewarma” Sandwich ($5.99), which comes with thin slices of beef strips, diced
onion, parsley, and sumac, topped with tahini, wrapped in Lebanese bread. It is
quite good, but a bit light on meat and toppings, which makes the bread too
dominant. The nice guy behind the counter gives me small samples of the humus
and salad (as well as a free bottle of water). I like my humus a bit creamier,
but the salad is fresh if a bit dominated by zatra.
VERDICT: 85/100
Poppin Pita is a new place with nice people. The
food is authentic and sure to get better, so give them a chance!
