Fanoos

Fanoos is a very popular name in the area for rolls. It being a week day we did not have to battle endless crowds and blaring traffic. Finally we settled on having a chicken liver roll, beef shawarma and a sheekh roll — this last one was in place of the veal roll we really wanted, but it was already finished for the day. The vertical rotissers and the rhythmic slicing and chopping of meat and putting together of the rolls can be quite hypnotic. The aromas are quite heady and your stomach will definitely start to protest if the rolls don’t reach your hands soon. The rolls at Fanoos are just the right size for a snack. The chicken liver roll is great for those who like offal. My beef shawarma on the other hand had the mayo a tad too sweet for my liking. Even the pickles did not add that vinegary, tangy punch.
