Hummus/Pita - this was complimentary and the first place, after eating at 30 restaurants in BA where the bread came out warm! Shawarma - I had over 3-4 shawarmas in BA and the shawarma here was the best one, if not the only good one I had. There is flavor in the shawarma sauce and the bits of pickle add complexity. Bife de chorizo / Grilled Beef - the sirloin steak was cooked exactly how we asked, medium rare. The accompanying fries were crispy and topped with paprika I think. Mixed Grill - consisted of shish tawouk, shish kebab and chicken kebab served with a dip of hummus, pita and french fries. The shish kebab was moist and had a smoky flavor, it was my favorite. The owner spoke to us at great length during our meal and after our meal. He told us his story of coming to Argentina as a trained chef. It is his intention to serve zabiha food to people of BA and tourists like us! Baklava - he offered us complimentary baklava which was sweet like the baklava. No exaggeration at all, this was the best baklava I ever had. It wasn't messy to eat and each layer stood on its own. The top layer was thick and crispy at the same time, not sure what phyllo dough is used but what a well done baklava. ALSO - the menu has such variety. They have burgers, shawarmas, steaks, grilled salmon, quesadillas, sandwiches, salads and wraps, etc. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

The falafel was dense and rich and came with some tahini that I could probably put on a cake since it was so delicious. The shawarma cut finely, covered in some delicious dressing, and had that nice little char it gets from roasting on the spit. The bit of pita to clean up afterwards was just an additional bonus. The gentleman who helped me was friendly and patient with my horrible Spanish. I could not be happier with this meal and will probably go back several times while I'm down here.

To compensate prices were inflated which to me seems like the right strategy in this kind of situations. If it's supposed to be good bad it's bad make it unaffordable to make it buzz.

The menu offers shawarma in both beef and chicken, but at least the day I was there only beef was available, and they only have one rotisserie spit.... Heavily meat packed, with a bit of lettuce and onion, an automatic offer of hot sauce, which was a nice touch, along with the yogurt sauce. Nicely spiced, the beef quite tender and just lightly charred on the edges - though much of that may be due to the steady stream of shawarma being ordered, there's little time for the surface to get that really nice char. Friendly service. They need to give napkins out with the food, one shouldn't have to ask, and they shouldn't have to search. Overall, rather good! I'd grab another one if I was nearby.

The waiter didn't seek information about the deal that was made with our group, so she tried to forcefully oversell the table. Because we asked for the agreed-upon deal, the staff proceeded to make our section of the table wait while serving the full meal to other sections. When asked about the situation, was told I was the problem and that I just had to be patient (at the two hours mark, mind you). Owner was on site and aware of the situation, but chose to wait until we were ready to leave and then refused to even speak and address the issues. Eventually got the mains staggered with a bonus: most were cold on top! (despite assurances that they had just been prepared) Water was not served until the very end when we asked for the nth time. The heat in the restaurant was a killer - as if the one air conditioning unit was to suffice by the working kitchen. Left soaked. Very bad experience overall. Won't be back. Certainly won't recommend to anyone I like.
