Growing up with some Indian food, I have had roti / rotli / chapati (flatbread) with rice and chicken curry, but never in a wrap. Costco had some frozen Indian-inspired chicken roti wraps with chicken curry and basmati rice inside, which sounded interesting to try. It was quick and easy to cook following the microwave instructions, and the wrap didn't come out overcooked or undercooked in our microwave.

The inside of the roti wrap did have a curry taste, but the curry taste was a little more bland than I expected. The curry was just a little bit spicy, but it wasn't really spicy at all, which was expected since the box says it is mild. The texture of the chicken, rice, and peas on the inside were all fine. The rice is maybe a little mushy, which is to be expected since it's frozen in a sauce. The roti didn't taste a lot like the Indian roti I have had and tasted more like just a regular whole grain tortilla. While it could use more curry taste overall, it still tasted good, and it was nice as a quick snack.

Chicken shawarma in foil from Chateau Beirut, West Chester, OH
Chicken shawarma from Chateau Beirut, West Chester, OH

My brother had visited my mom earlier in the year and HAD to have shawarmas during his visit. So when I visited, my mom grabbed some chicken shawarmas for me, as well. The chicken shawarmas were from a Lebanese restaurant called Chateau Beirut: Gyro Subs in West Chester, OH.

I ate the chicken shawarma wraps a few hours after my mom brought them home since she brought around lunch time, but we had them for dinner, so they were kind of like semi-leftovers.

The shawarmas came nicely wrapped in foil to help with holding everything in place. I usually don't like tomatoes in sandwiches and wraps, but the tomatoes went pretty well with the shawarma. While the chicken shawarma had a lot of garlic sauce, it didn't seem overwhelmingly sauced, which was good. My favorite taste in the shawarma was the taste of dill pickles. The chicken was a little bit dry, but it was still good, and the pita bread was perfect; it wasn't hard and stale or too mushy, even after it had been sitting around for a few hours. The sauce, vegetables, and chicken made a nice, well-balanced savory, garlic taste.
