What the creator captured
Gareth Eats explored his favorite style of cuisine by visiting Mal Al Sham, where he was particularly impressed by the creamy texture of the fatteh. He also returned to Shawarma Guys to try their new crispy pita sandwiches, reaffirming his belief that it is one of the best restaurants in San Diego. The highlight of the trip was the authentic charcoal-grilled flavors of the mashawi platter shared with his friend Tala.
