Chicken shawarma in foil from Chateau Beirut, West Chester, OH
Chicken shawarma from Chateau Beirut, West Chester, OH

My brother had visited my mom earlier in the year and HAD to have shawarmas during his visit. So when I visited, my mom grabbed some chicken shawarmas for me, as well. The chicken shawarmas were from a Lebanese restaurant called Chateau Beirut: Gyro Subs in West Chester, OH.

I ate the chicken shawarma wraps a few hours after my mom brought them home since she brought around lunch time, but we had them for dinner, so they were kind of like semi-leftovers.

The shawarmas came nicely wrapped in foil to help with holding everything in place. I usually don't like tomatoes in sandwiches and wraps, but the tomatoes went pretty well with the shawarma. While the chicken shawarma had a lot of garlic sauce, it didn't seem overwhelmingly sauced, which was good. My favorite taste in the shawarma was the taste of dill pickles. The chicken was a little bit dry, but it was still good, and the pita bread was perfect; it wasn't hard and stale or too mushy, even after it had been sitting around for a few hours. The sauce, vegetables, and chicken made a nice, well-balanced savory, garlic taste.

Bag of Trader Joe's Pita Bread
Trader Joe's Pita Bread

I bought some of Trader Joe's pita bread to go with some hummus. After refrigerating the pita bread, I warmed one up for about 10 seconds in the microwave so it was nice and soft.

The pita bread by itself didn't really have much taste and just tasted like bread, but it was good with hummus. It also had sesame seeds on it, and I usually don't like the texture of sesame seeds, but the seeds were pretty minimal and unnoticeable so that was good for me. The pita bread was OK, but it definitely tastes better after adding something to it.

Stacy's Pita Chips
Sabra Spinach & Artichoke Hummus

I had some Stacy's "Simply Naked" Pita Chips dipped in Sabra Spinach & Artichoke Hummus as a lunch snack.

The pita chips were nice and crunchy and had a good pita taste.

The hummus was fine, but I didn't quite like the spinach/artichoke-y taste. I would have preferred a plain hummus to this one.
