Falafel arax, shawrama???

[kevin]

Any truth to a blog posting that there is pork fat sitting on top of the shawrma spit to lubricate the shawrma???

I'm not sure - maybe lamb fat? Anyway, I agree w/ above, it's not that great. Not terrible, though, so I go back. I'm sure there is a lot better in that area (Little Armenia) but I've been too lazy to check. Maybe that Zankou is good, but I can't really recommend the product at the Pasadena or Van Nuys branches (but I like the chicken ok)

Arax is below average. The zankou in the area is wonderful, and the one on Colorado might even be better

if there was it sure didnt work. the shawerma i had at Arax, albeit years ago was seriously dry. Made me never want to stray from Zankou, though nowadays I prefer Skafs in NoHo.
