What's in Phoenecia's Shawarma's and Falafel's?

I seem to remember that they had potatoes along with the lettuce and tomatoes in the Shawarma's but I don't remember potatoes in the Falafel's. I think the potatoes were roasted at the base of the meat so they got the drippings. I don't remember any pickled turnips which you normally see with Shawarma's and Falafel's. They also had some sort of garlic sauce but I don't remember any other sauces. Help me recreate them at home now that I can't just pop over to visit.

Update:

I think that there might not have been lettuce, it was meat heavy shawarma...

Update 2:

Edit: I know what a regular shawarma is but what's in the Shawarma at Phonecia Deli out on Westheimer? I remember that it doesn't have pickles. I think it's more of a cross between a Donner and a Shawarma.
