Not a shwarma, not a gyro, but yum!
Get yourself over to Mim's on Cleveland Avenue in St. Paul and ask for a salad with chicken. It has no name but must be the nicest salad in the 55108 postal code.
Really just a pita-less shwarma and rather unassuming in its styrofoam box, this salad is made of cabbage and lettuce, topped with garlic-mayonnaise sauce and raw onions, but heaped with that delicious spit-roasted chicken normally associated with shwarmas and their cousins, gyros. Topped with raw onions and a slice of lemon to greet your nose as you open the box, it makes a great lunch for anyone on or near the U of Minnesota St. Paul campus around lunchtime. Tell Mahmoud that Ann sent you.
