This place really hits the spot after a 3-hour class. I got the chicken doner sandwich trio with fries, & it was ready in under 10 minutes. The fries were good, & the sauce that came with them was great. Friendly service as well. The fries were probably a bit too heavy for lunch, though, so next time I'd go with the salad instead
