Skewers Kabob House - West Modesto

Taste is just average for its price. Not that good, service is okay.

Skewers offers a wide variety of dishes and their food is on point with flavor. They have salmon and pasta and their fresh veggies are steamed to perfection ? an absolute favorite place to come for lunch Parking: There is parking behind the building and on the street, but during busy times, you have to get there early or park in the garage across the street

Our server was very friendly and the food was excellent as always

Adequate food, slow service, nondescript atmosphere. Elected a meal of appetizers: Grape dolmas (warm) were excellent. Caesar salad had crisp lettuce but croutons were out of a bag. Dressing was not house made (i.e. tasted like out of a bottle), had no anchovy, was too garlicky and too heavily “creamy” with too much black pepper. Classic Caesar dressing should be light with a subtle balance of garlic, lemon juice and anchovies. Also had Hummus Duo traditional hummus was tasty but the cilantro and jalapeño hummus was bland without much cilantro flavor and no jalapeño kick. Baklava was served cold which makes the texture of phyllo pastry heavy and doughy without flakiness. After baking, Baklava should be stored and served at room temperature. Service was slow and not easy to get servers’ attention. There were 3 servers but 1 of them didn’t seem to do much. The one busser was very busy. Yet the servers did a lot of table clearing as well. Get rid of the do nothing server and hire a 2nd busser instead. Then the remaining servers could focus more on serving and being attentive to the customers. Atmosphere was “meh”, walls were mostly bare, room was too dark to read the menu easily and the pop music overhead was brash and too loud. How about some candles on the tables and middle eastern or classical music instead?

We love Skewers and always stop here when we are in town. The food is just great. The place is large and beautiful inside and out. It is spotless. The service is so very good. All the servers are super nice and they get to you straight away and they don't rush you. They know the menu and can guide you. The seating is comfortable and the other patrons seems happy. It is a calming place to be. Their Roasted Garlic Hummus is some of the best in town and we just love their fresh Cilantro and Jalapenos blended Roasted Garlic Hummus. They have a marinated chicken breast grilled over open flames with Lemon Butter Garlic sauce which is a must try and it comes with their great rice. Their Sultan's Plate is so great. it is Marinated Filet Mignon Barg with a Skewer of Lula. There is nothing not to like here. Any skewer you have will be great. We have had most. Their shrimp dishes are also amazing. Have a great time.
