Favourite things at Sarah's Shawarma & Falafel

Coming home from the Dance Cave is never complete without a stop here.

Sarah's has long been my Annex staple for low-budget, high-flavour grilled falafels; be sure to ask for spicy sauce and extra tahini. They carry my own personal crack (Peach Snapple Iced Tea) as well as guava, papaya & mango juices in cans. For dessert, there's baklava dripping with honey and pistachio bits. Bonus points if you try "halvah". It looks like a brick of beige cement but it tastes divine - like sesame snacks but with nicer texture. Great meal for under $10.

These guys have the best chicken shawarma I've ever had, it's really dry, for some reason that makes it taste fantastic. Oddly enough I'm not a huge fan of their falafel

it really is the only high-quality falafel I've had since Syriandipity on Queen closed under mysterious circumstances. I find most falafels slightly offputting by the time I'm done, perhaps owed to the fact that they're deep-fried, but Sarah's's don't affect me in this way, so I consider them an ally falafel.
