No not at all.

Just get the right seasonings and have patience cuz you'll have to wait a while.

First time having it and man... what a disappointment. Maybe I was expecting more. Overrated for sure. The good thing was there wasn't really a line. I waited 2 min before I hit the counter and ordered.

Agha's > HG

If I had to choose....
Agha's chicken > HG chicken
Agha's lamb = HG Gyro
Agha's white sauce > HGs.
Agha's rice/veggies > HGs
Agha's $ > HGs

The only thing HG has over Agha's is the red sauce and the portion size. But your payin for that size difference.

..And that red sauce is medium at best. I had them put a lil extra than what they normally do and it had good heat. But not crazy hot. (My heat tolerance is kinda high. I normally eat Thai chilies/Jalapenos with meals. And have tried whole Habaneros.) And the sauce was ok. Im sure if if put a lot, the heat would be there. But then the flavor as a whole would change.

It's not that hard to do. I made it last year. I don't remember if I used shrimp or not but I did use mussels

Super easy. It's all about timing when you put in each ingredient.
