Hey there, mamas! Sometimes, the mommy hustle takes us on unexpected adventures. This week, a simple errand in Quezon City turned into a delightful detour thanks to a long-time recommendation from my foodie friends: Tri-Mo Shawarma Co.!
With hubby by my side, we decided to ditch the usual lunch routine and check out this hidden gem. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint!
Following Foodie Friends to Flavortown
Tri-Mo Shawarma Co. had been on my radar for a while, thanks to my friends who are obsessed with their unique take on shawarma. It’s a college hang out and has seen growth from a humble karinderia to a bestseller foodie find. So, with the opportunity right in front of us, we dove right in.
A Twist on Tradition: Shawarma Reimagined
This place isn’t your average shawarma joint. Here, they offer two ways to satisfy your shawarma cravings:
- Classic Pita Wrap: Perfect for those who love the tried-and-true experience. A warm, soft pita envelops the perfectly seasoned and marinated meat, making for a handheld symphony of textures and flavors.
- Sisig-Style: This innovative option serves the shawarma chopped up and plated with rice, just like the beloved Filipino dish sisig. Intriguing, right? We opted to try both! The shawarma itself was amazing – perfectly tender and bursting with flavor. The garlic yogurt and spicy sauces added another layer of deliciousness. Plus, the option to customize with all meat, cheese, or veggies meant we could each have it our way. Let me tell you, the sisig-style shawarma was a revelation! It completely transformed the shawarma experience – a must-try for any adventurous eater. The savory, garlicky rice provided a base that perfectly complemented the seasoned shawarma bits, reminding us of our favorite sisig without straying far from the familiar shawarma flavors.
Fast Service, Friendly Faces at Tri-Mo Shawarma Co.!
Even though Tri-Mo Shawarma Co. seems to be a popular spot for college kids, the wait wasn’t long at all. The staff was incredibly friendly and efficient, keeping the line moving smoothly. They answered our questions about the menu with enthusiasm, making recommendations and ensuring we had a great experience. It’s clear they’re passionate about giving their customers a great experience, and it shows!
Cozy Comfort for Two
The restaurant itself has a relaxed and inviting vibe. It’s gone from its humble beginnings to a more spacious diner, but it still maintains a warm and comfortable atmosphere. The simple interior, with its clean lines and pops of color, creates a perfect spot for a casual lunch date with your hubby, just like ours!
Budget-Friendly Feast: Big Flavors, Small Price Tag
Another perk for us busy moms? Tri-Mo Shawarma Co. is super affordable! Their shawarma starts at just 75 PHP for the classic wrap and 120 PHP for the sisig-style option. Considering the generous portions and high-quality ingredients, it’s a fantastic value. We enjoyed a delicious and satisfying merienda without breaking the bank – a win in any mama’s book!
The Final Verdict: A Shawarma Must-Visit
Tri-Mo Shawarma Co. was a delightful surprise. The unique shawarma creations, friendly service, cozy ambiance, and amazing value for money make it a must-visit for any foodie adventurer.
So, mamas (and everyone else!), if you find yourself in Quezon City, do yourself a favor and take a detour to lagro at Tri-Mo Shawarma Co. You won’t regret it! You might even discover a new favorite shawarma experience, just like we did!
