I still remember discreetly asking my parents $7.50 in order to buy a dozen spicy meat pies (lahmajoun,) which to this day I enjoy. While the price has slightly gone up (what hasn't,?) the meat pies taste as good today as they did in my teenage years. The food is and has always been fresh, and the quality is consistent. No hit-or-miss at Arouch. In addition to a choice of lahmajouns (mild, spicy, garlic free, if I recall,) they serve a variety of vegetarian goodies that I have yet to try.Prices: well, I don't want to get into the debate whether the prices are reasonable or not as the topic is very moot.Cleanliness: All the locations that I have visited appear clean at a glimpse.Service: they are fast food, the service and experience you receive depends greatly on who's behind the counter. Back in the days on Liege, before their expansion, I got served most frequently by the owner, let's just say he had the warmth and charisma of a vending machine. On a different note, for quite some time, there has been a rumor that the meat is Halal, or available in Halal. I can neither confirm or deny if it is. The rumor appears to be lucrative as I have seen a good number of Muslim clients unquestionably savoring it. By the way, an Armenian bakery serving Halal is as rare as a Kosher bakery serving bacon.All in all, I recommend to meat lovers the spicy lahmajoun (a classic.) Just remember to bring breath mints and more money as the prices frequently and tactfully go up.
