    I ordered from here while in town. Love my chicken dishes. I don't have much to say as it was quick to go order. Got a chicken shawarma. Overall it was good and tasty. The only challenge was the chicken was a little dry and I had to add more sauce. I would probably try something different next time if in the area. Overall god experience.

    This is my go to place for hummus any time I'm in the area. Their other food is also delicious and portions are generous. It's tucked inside an apartment building and is food court style with multiple restaurants. Service is friendly and accurate.

    Visiting from Cali, wanted some healthy food and came across this place. Food is so delicious and fresh! I had the chicken plate with salad, no rice and hummus. The food was so authentic and delicious. The falafel had a crispy exterior and a soft, yummy interior. Personnel is very friendly and welcoming. I recommend this place.

    Seasoned 16. French Fries were hot and soft enough we chowed these down

    Baklava

    Amjab has excellent customer service! Dessert of the day was the Baklava. When ordering a savory item from the menu...I must state the food is cooked with care and quality. On my cheat meal days, I enjoy the mixed grill item. It is comprised of one skewer each of beef shish kebab, shish tawook, and beef kafta. My dish is also accompanied with hummus, rice and salad.

    Today, I had a chance to try this new Middle Eastern Pl ace in town. I cannot rave enough about the hospitality and the quality of the food. I ordered the beef Shawarma, the chicken Shawarma, tabouli, hummus, and also picked up some banana pudding. The owner was kind enough to offer us the pistachio truffles. Everything we tasted was delicious. Fresh, and homemade. It took about 10 minutes to get the food and we couldn't wait to devour it. The hummus is by far my favorite as it is as authentic as it gets. The tabouli is a very close second and it was fresh with the perfect amount of dressing. The meat that was used in the beef Shawarma was so tender that it melted in my mouth. The same thing can be said about the chicken. Just the perfect amount of spices complimented this meal. The boat shop is located in an old brewery that has been turned into an apartment complex. If you are looking for authentic food, this is the place to go.

    Shawarma chicken and beef over rice. Salad and humus with pita bread in to go plate.

    Pavlovian response (read: classical conditioning)…read more "Classical conditioning (also Pavlovian conditioning or respondent conditioning) is a form of learning in which the conditioned stimulus or CS, comes to signal the occurrence of a second stimulus, the unconditioned stimulus or US. (A stimulus is a factor that causes a response in an organism.) The conditioned response is the learned response to the previously neutral stimulus.[1] The US is usually a biologically significant stimulus such as food or pain that elicits a response from the start; this is called the unconditioned response or UR. The CS usually produces no particular response at first, but after conditioning it elicits the conditioned response or CR. Classical conditioning differs from operant or instrumental conditioning, in which behavior emitted by the subject is strengthened or weakened by its consequences (i.e. reward or punishment).[2]" Enter, Pacific Wraps. My CS? Hearing someone utter the words "Pacific Wraps." Someone alluding to "that wrap place in the union." Anything comparable. My US? Uncontrollable salivation. Let's back up the proverbial bus here to provide a bit of context for a place which many Milwaukeeans over the age of 23 may not know about. Pacific Wraps = wrap joint in the UWM Union food court. There's really nothing special about it, I assure you... though they have lots of options and some are healthy/inventive or whatever. Use your Panther Card if you're like 20 and mommy and daddy load it for you, or pay something like six or seven bucks for any of their myriad wrap choices: Thai Chicken, Chili-Hummus, the Firecracker, Mandarin Chicken Salad, Korean, Vegan Falafel... I could go on, but I'll stop with the mention of THE MONTEREY. I am a disgusting human because I loved and still love the Monterey wrap from Pacific Wraps. I am even more disgusting because sometimes I would sub in CRISPY (read: fried) chicken instead of the grilled. Let's talk about how perfectly pedestrian this piece is regardless: chicken, cheddar, bacon, rice, and ranch all wrapped up together in a delicious, delicious gut-bomb of a thing. You wouldn't think something so plain and so fast-food-esque could be so delicious, would you? You're wrong, though. I was thrilled, however, to learn the other evening over drinks and bites post-Brew City Bash II that both my Yelp-tern Jess S and elite extraordinaire Shane H share in my secret Monterey/Pacific Wraps shame. I am alone no longer! I am not a secret disgusting monster! Shane went on to inform me that, sometimes, Pacific Wraps runs an AVOCADO MONTEREY special. Shane. I may or may not head to Pacific Wraps today and battle the throngs of 19-year olds. I'm almost ten years older than them now, and IDGAF about being in the student union anymore. Wait. Graduation was Sunday, right? Is PW even open? Do they close for the summer and I just wrote this review? TRAGEDY.

    Here lemme "wrap" at ya folks for a bit…read more.. I deem Pacific Wraps to be the best food purveyor in the UWM Union. There's so much variety, as far as meat, no meat, gluten-free, spicy, mild, rice, no rice, etc. You really CAN have it all! The crew that works here obviously changes a lot since it is staffed by students, but they generally are pretty good at what they're doing. If they are out of a particular item, they are very good at suggesting alternatives. Sometimes you get one worker who just really, really, has no idea how to wrap a wrap. It is unfortunate and sometimes messy, but you know what? It still tastes the same! Eat it and go about your day! I recommend the Monterrey (rice, grilled chicken, bacon, ranch)! It's heaven in a cylinder!

    Date of visit: September 16, 2025…read more This was near some friends and they raved about the food--especially the breakfast items, which they serve all day. I should have listened to them because I went with more of a lunch/dinner type item and it wasn't made the way I asked for it. My husband also went lunch/dinner and also did not get what he asked for. Staff was frustrated and apologetic, but I didn't love the delay after a long day at work. Thankfully the second time was the charm and my bananas foster milkshake was quite good and definitely something I would recommend. A member of staff had their little one hanging around, and while I don't normally care about that, when they wandered outside and were playing a bit closer to the street than I was comfortable with, I knew it was time to go. The outdoor seating is directly on the sidewalk, so if that is not your jam, look to sit inside instead, though this did not bother me at all. Next time I come I would listen to my friends and hope for an error free breakfast item instead!

First glance at the menu, I admit I was a little unsure. Lots of unique offerings, with the Grain Bowls, Plates, Greens & Grains being made with black rice or quinoa. The latter of which I am not a fan. Still, on my first visit, I decided to try the Thai Bowl. I ended up really enjoying the black rice. The roasted veggies were tender, and the thai basil pesto had a bit of spice to it, which paired wonderfully with the subtle sweetness of the curry. The portion size was perfect, satisfying me but not leaving me full. I also tried the Ginger Tepache, which was extremely refreshing and delicious. A wonderful alternative to Kombucha if that's not exactly your thing. The restaurant is bright and airy with bar, high top and table seating. I had to wait a couple minutes before someone took my order, but once that was taken my food was ready very quickly.

A QR code on the table with an online menu might be a better option? Or come in to yelp and check out their menu! I've added pictures below. Bartenders were superb and the food was quite amazing. Crispy Brussel Sprouts: If you hate Brussel sprouts, skip it, but if you want to give it a chance, I'd say this is the place to do it. 1/2 LB Burger is actually cheaper than the Brussel sprouts. They complement each other quite well. It can get quite loud inside, so not your romantic spot (go down the street to Buttermint for that), but if you're looking for a fun, loud, delicious spot, this is it. UPDATE 3/2024 The steak salad is absolutely gorgeous to look at and delicious to the tastebuds. Dressing is probably not keto friendly, but I love it so much!! Maybe try to ask for the dressing on the side next time.. UPDATE - 6/2025 - no longer on the menu SAD. Steak Sandwich is flavorful according to Hany.
