"Our crawl begins at Tuhama’s, a cozy spot with a walk-up counter and spinning vertical rotisseries in the kitchen. After a brief wait, the shawarma arrive tightly wrapped in white paper with a black plastic basket. The shawarma at Tahuma’s hit a lot of the right notes, from the crisp, tart pickles to the just-right-amount-of-garlic sauce that packs a potent punch by itself. It’s also the ideal ratio of ingredients with a nicely crisped pita that doesn’t disintegrate in your hands. The sandwiches earn high marks for structure. While extremely flavorful, the chicken is a tad dry and could’ve been helped by just a touch more sauce, but overall we’re satisfied and it becomes the standard for comparison for subsequent shawarma on this crawl." - Dorothy Hernandez
