    Ok.
    I frequent Famous Pita. The shwarma there is edible, but not very good. However it has the salad bar and falafel balls (who else has this?)
    Olympic Pita, while a favorite on other boards is rather dry.
    Jerusalem steakhouse on Ave. M. I went there this sunday and the shwarma lafa was great. Moist, flavor full, fatty. the other locations aren't as good. I could be wrong.
    I'm assuming kosher....

        Pita Off the Corner, on E 2nd just south of Ave P has good chicken shwarma, and a good salad bar, better in most respects than the one at Famous Pita (but no falafel balls). And they have WiFi.

          Which one of those is on the side street off Kings Highway across from the Lebanese bakery? I always forget the name. Anyhoo, that's the best one!

            Neither one. I think the one you're talking about is Original Shawarma, on E4th, but I've never eaten there so I can't comment on it.

            Famous Pita is on Coney Island between 18th/Ditmas and Newkirk.
            The one I like used to be Pita Corner, on the corner of E2nd and P, until it moved across the street and became Pita Off the Corner.
