Today's been a rollercoaster of emotions at work. There's some not-so-great news and some really awesome news, and I'm still processing it all. I was feeling overwhelmed with everything, so we broke fast and had a feast like we didn't have to save money or lose weight for our trip next month.
For dinner, I'm craving a Mediterranean feast of meat and rice. Donair Dude along West Broadway is our closest option, so we head there.
I treated myself to a beef donair platter with rice, a side of salad, baked potatoes, and my favorite dolmades. Their tzatziki sauce pairs perfectly with the mildly spicy sauce to balance out the flavorful meat.

Hubby tried the kofte (meatballs), something new for us. Tender and full of flavor, they're unlike any meatballs I've had before. The unique blend of spices sets them apart from Italian or Swedish meatballs. Drizzled with their creamy tzatziki sauce, they're absolutely delicious.

Unfortunately, the falafel and hummus we ordered to share weren't as impressive. I've had falafel at several places before and know what I like, and this wasn't it. The hummus was creamy but bland. Maybe it was overpowered by the burnt taste of the falafel.
