I thought this place was completely delicious. The restaurant is dry, but with the liquor store down the minimall complex, it's an easy fix. A large group of us had a couple of hummus plates to share, donor and chicken kebab. I think we ate our weight in pita bread. We also loved the lassi and baklava. I happen to love Turkish food, and thought everything quite tasty.
The atmosphere is friendly with the head chef/owner chatting us up; he was throughly entertained by my father's attempt to order in and remember the little bit of Turkish he learned when we were living in Germany. There was a TV with a soccer game on, but it switched to the evening news while we were there. On a tuesday night it was not busy, but I did notice a constant stream of takeout orders so it's clear this place has a following.
The week I came here, I managed to order chicken and hummus at 4 different restaurants in 6 days. It wasn't intentional and I didn't realize that I basically ate the same thing at 4 different places until later. Anyways out of those places, this is probably the one I am least likely to return to. It wasn't bad but it also didn't impress me enough to return.
The normal menu seems quite over priced (similar prices to what I've seen at much nicer places in NYC) but the lunch menu is more reasonable. I ordered one of the lunch specials and it came with chicken kebab, hummus, baba ganoush, and a small falafel. It also came with soup or salad (I got the vegetable soup) and some pita. As mentioned, the food was decent but that's all. I did like the variety of the special. The hummus and baba ganoush weren't great. The falafel was probably the best thing but was pretty small. Service was kind of slow too so that's another reason to not return for lunch. As I said, the dinner prices seem kind of ridiculous so wouldn't really suggest that either.
Had the lentil soup with hummus and a Greek salad. The soup was amazing. I can't taste much due to this awful cold and fever but this soup was amazing. It was so flavorful and piping hot. Loved it.
Everyone else got hummus platters and pitas. They do a great job at Chicken Kebab.
Good place for a meal-take out or sit down. The doner is excellent. The kebabs are fine. Nothing exciting and different but consistent, good food with fair pricing and fairly speedy service.
One item that is lacking is the bread. It tastes like cardboard after you get it home. Not sure why but it seems nearly every Middle Eastern restaurant in the area is challenged by 'bad' pita.
Sometimes you go somewhere new that just opened and really root for them to make it. It was like this when I first started going here almost as soon as they opened. The owner and his wife are more than friendly, happily greeting guests and making sure that they're happy. Their young daughters are often there lending a hand and adding to the friendly ambience of the place. The food is consistantly good with one exception. Their vegetable soup is epic to the point of being one of the best I have ever had. I have read some reviews where the people claim that it's expensive which is only true comparing it to fast food restaurants. My usual tab there for two is under $30, putting it firmly in the 1 $ range, certainly not $$ and for the price and service, it's a bargain.
3.5 stars rounded up to 4. I ordered take out and the pita was just moderate. 2nd time I went there and actually sat down, food was overall better.
It might have been since i was there in the first few days which is why I don't think it will happen again. Ill edit this again if I go there again
