one of the best cheese shawarmas i ate, with fried vegetables and good cheese for 15 lei!! wow. i was also offered a tea for free !!
Even in 2025 Calif is still a level above your basic street corner shawarma. Nothing beats a dil kebab with roasted veggies or a falafel with eggplant and pomegranate at 1AM. If you order takeaway it’s much cheaper than delivery apps. The new turkish pita is a good alternative if you want something smaller. It’s also nice to see the same people from years ago still working here.
I've been a client for almost 8 years and never been disappointed. Beef Maxi Dil kebab is the way to go for me. Service is fast, staff is friendly
Food is ok. Prices are medium, but the place is a bit cramped if you want to eat there. Usually good for takeaways. Ambiance is nice and service seems quick.
