Grill House Shalom

Mother of sweating Jesus, but the meat is good here. Try it with just a touch of the *hot* hot sauce. Just the ticket after an evening’s serious drinking.

Absolutely no ambiance. Not particularly clean. Small and cramped.
But that’s not why we eat shoarma now is it ;)
I’ve actually eaten here several times when visiting friends when I still lived in NY and several times since I’ve moved back to Haarlem. In fact, I’ve encouraged The Wife to visit friends I don’t particularly care for just to eat here. It’s on the botermarkt, which has a great market although the cafes there, I’m not so sure of yet.
But I digress. The food is just amazing. I’d put it right up there with Mama in A’dam. I must be honest and admit I’ve never had anything other than their shoarma, but good god damn, why order anything else when the meat’s this good? Succulent, tender and cooked up with just the right blend of spices. Don’t be fooled by the apparent «small» servings; these are substantial broodje shoarmas.
The people working there are friendly, and if you ask nicely they’ll even give you the real hot sauce — not that cheap sambol crap — if you look like you can handle it. Their garlic sauce is good too, a little bit sweeter than most in my opinion, but I like that.
Guaranteed to stave off hangovers, or, at least, not make you care that you are about to have one.
