Przekaż informację zwrotnąAs for the food, I previously gave the Shish Kabob entree five stars, but this time, I had the Shepherd's Casserole and would rate it only four stars due to its lack of flavor. I even had to add salt, which is disappointing because I usually enjoy Turkish cuisine for its wonderful use of herbs and spices. The lamb was slightly overcooked and lacked taste—it could have been beef for all I could tell. On the bright side, I did enjoy the chopped onions and pieces of green and red peppers. Overall, however, this dish didn’t measure up to the standards of other Turkish restaurants I’ve visited, which is a bit disappointing.
On a complete whim (a couple months ago), my boyfriend and I stopped here and we are so glad we did. I had never had a kebab before and I had no idea what I was missing. The food at Shish Kebab is amazing. For some reason, we have never seen the restaurant completely full. On many occasions, we are the only customers they have, which I find super strange because of how delicious the food is. First of all, the bread. THE BREAD HERE IS SO GOOD! You know the typical olive oil, balsamic vinegar and parmesan dip at Italian restaurants? Well, Shish Kebab has this amazing Mediterranean sun dried tomato, olive oil and thyme dip with delicious, fresh baked bread. My boyfriend and I can down two entire loafs before our meal. But by the end of the meal, we always feel like we need to hibernate. All is worth it though for that delicious bread. The kebabs are so good chicken, lamp, steak YUM. They even have an option for two types of meat on one kebab or a combination of like 4 different types of meat. I normally get the Tilapia with extra rice instead of the salad and also a shish kebab (lamb) because I am indecisive. Even the rice is delicious. My boyfriend gets the classic shish kebab and he is a happy camper. Definitely worth a stop if you are ever in the area!
I am a regular here. Everyone I have ever introduced to this place says they really like it and would return. I am embarrassed to say, I have had few dishes here other than the lamb shish kebab. It is absolutely the best. The lamb is not on a skewer, but instead, served on the plate with rice and a vegetable medley of carrots zucchini and onions. The plate contains several chunks of lamb and just enough of everything else. The lamb is cooked delicately and lacks the usual overly marinated taste. I would recommend the lamb stew, musaka and vegetable stew. All good choices, but not like the lamb kebab. Yes, for you vegetarians, they have several options to choose from. The appetizers including calamari and baba ganoush are excellent. Another reviewer mentioned the high quality of humus and I agree. It is by far, the best I have had in town. If you have any left on the table, take it home!! You will be glad you did the next day. The bread is awesome. warm and dense. None of that flat pita stuff. The dipping sauce includes olive oil, pepper and rosemary. Yum. If you save room for dessert, they will bring around a tray displaying what they have and explaining each. Personally, I would prefer to fill up on the bread. They do not cut corners. I have never been here when I couldn't get a table, even on the weekends. I appreciate the warm inviting atmosphere and the ability to have a conversation. (I always mention noise level as I do like to talk during dinner. I would recommend if you are coming with a large party, you make reservations, only so the staff can be prepared and ensure proper seating. The staff is friendly and efficient, not intrusive. I do like the twins! : If you want really good Mediterranean food, come here.Lastly, the price is right!
I really like the inside decor upon entering! It's the woody feeling that caught my eye. The restaurant wasn't overpacked when I visited. Just about the right amount of people. Their bread was so yummy. It was a little crunchy on the edges and soft on the inside. Dipped that with their bread sauce (I am not sure what it was but has tomato flavor in it for sure , it was just wonderful! I definitely had too much bread and can't eat much for the main dishes. We also had babaganoush. It's smoked eggplant puree, seasonal with tahini olive oil and garlic. It was good, but not great to me though I can tell that it was freshly made. Main entrees we had Adana Kebab (ground lamb with crushed red peppers; chargrilled and Chicken Kebab with yogurt (chicken was marinated and chargrilled; served with garlic toasted bread and yogurt at the bottom of the dish . They were both really spicy to me. When I first ate it, I thought it wasn't too bad but the spice kicked in in a few short seconds. Adana Kebab tasted really delicious. Lamb could sometimes be a challenging dish to cook, but they did a great job. The sides of rice and vegetables were rather mediocre. Chicken Kebab with yogurt was great as well. However, meat wise, I preferred Adana Kebab. Portions were definitely more than needed and we had leftovers (it could also be because we consumed too much bread . I probably shouldn't be because I was overly stuffed but I got a dessert anyway really just wanted to try it. I chose the rice pudding. It was decent. A little sweet. The portion was huge (I am glad that I wasn't the only one eating it... ... To me, this rice pudding tasted like it was pre made and made it frozen though. Service was fine some are more friendly than others. However, they charged my final bill wrong so I wasn't too happy about it. This place is pretty comparable to Cafe Istanbul, but somehow less known.
Shish Kebab offers some excellent Turkish cuisine! I went with a large group and we all enjoyed our meals, though we felt the service was at times not as responsive (though always friendly). They start off with some delicious bread and a sweet red pepper dipping sauce. I ordered the Adana Kebab with yogurt. The meat was so juicy and flavorful, and it mixed perfectly with the garlicky yogurt, crisp bread, and peppers. The portions are huge, so plan on boxing your leftovers but don't make my mistake and forget the box!
