Like most of the bakeries in the neighborhood, it makes a wide variety of French pastries, but its Middle Eastern pastries are exceptionally good. The baklavas are delicate and crisp, never soggy with too much syrup. Al Wazir Chicken has ambitions above its lunch-counter setting. There are flowers on the tables and instrumental ballads on the soundtrack, and it sells much more than chicken. The chicken kebab is one to be proud of, though, very tender with an elusive secret marinade that might contain soy.
Kebabs come with rice, grilled tomato and pepper, an herb-heavy cabbage salad and pita bread.
Colorado Street is the home of bakeries. You can find Mexican cookies and pan dulces next to Persian bamyeh and zulabiya fritters. It's a huge operation, making French and Armenian pastries of all kinds and Armenian breads such as lavash and the thicker sweet flatbread gata. You can get pizza and submarine sandwiches at Bingo Pizza, and also the usual Armenian kebabs, which are sprinkled with sour ground sumac berry. With your kebab plate, you choose a Mexican, Armenian or Russian soft drink from a cold box.
