Not the thin French fries everyone expects—these are thick-cut, fluffy inside with crispy exterior. Made daily from fresh potatoes. They're meant to be eaten with a fork and paired with any sandwich, absorbing sauce beautifully.
Simple and satisfying: thinly sliced beef cooked on the griddle, seasoned simply, served in soft bread made fresh in-house. The accompanying fresh salad and house sauce add brightness. This is the restaurant's workhorse sandwich, ordered by construction workers and students alike.
Tips from diners
Add extra sauce but not mayo—the house sauce is what makes this sandwich special. Ask for it hot off the griddle.
Meat is marinated and cooked on a rotating spit, then shaved and served in warm bread with crisp vegetables and a mild yogurt sauce. The kitchen's halal certification ensures proper slaughter and preparation. Portions are generous—this fills you up.
