This is Ron and our good friend Suleiman.
He works at one of our favorite places to eat.
I remember this place from 1977 and all these years his store has remained open for business.
The shop has undergone renovations and clean ups but the one thing we could count on is that menu hasn't changed.
This is the name of the place written in English and Arabic.
It is still in the same location on Saladin Street in East Jerusalem right outside Herod's Gate of the Old City.
The menu is simple.
They cook beef, turkey or chicken on these vertical spits and it cooks as they rotate. You pick your meat and then they put it and any other fillings inside a pita, baguette, or wrap. The sauce is tahini (made of sesame seeds) and a yogurt sauce....YUM!
Side dishes consist of hummus, cucumber salad, turkish salad, pickles (the BESTEST pickels anywhere in the world!) and hot peppers.
19 shekels worth and we are in seventh heaven.
We love the food. They love us for loving their food.
EVERYONE IS HAPPY!!!
Can't wait to take you A,E,T,A!!!!!
Tell you what - it was worth the wait!
