Times Description

This Armenian mini-chain arguably serves the best fast-food chicken in town. Massive rotisseries turn out plump, juicy birds with a delicate crust that the Colonel can only fantasize about, and the prices are rock bottom. Pita bread and a killer garlic paste come with the chicken, and a combo plate includes hummus, tomatoes and pickled turnips, too. The tarna (chicken shawarma) plate, complete with the signature garlic paste, bread, hummus, tahini, tomatoes and pickled turnips, is equally enthusiastically recommended.
