"Here we were eating at this delicious restaurant again! Let me tell you this - the food is delicious. The customer service is great! The price is a bit high for what we got but I don't blame this restaurant- that my friends is the economy we have in Washington DC right now driving our prices out of control. (End of politics rant )The price for both of us was about 22 bucks each and considering we ate delicious lamb, two huge bowls lentil soup , two different kinds of hummus and drinks - I have no complaints. It is delicious food ! If you don't try it - you've missed out."
"I have dined here a few times. The service and food are consistently 5 out of 5. Our server patiently answered our questions and was attentive throughout our time there. She also made sure to verify that all items for my son were gluten-free. The kitchen even went above and beyond by preparing the falafel to make it gluten-free. I should add that it was some of the best falafel I have ever had. It was very flavorful with just the right amount of spice. And it was not dry! All of the food was delicious. Our server made sure to let us know that the special Chicken dish would take 30 minutes to prepare. It was well worth the wait! I have never gone and it be crowded. Hopefully it stays one of the best kept secrets in the area!"

"Enjoyed a nice lunch here at La Shish Kabob. Plenty of seating as the restaurant is quite spacious. Service was friendly & helpful and it was easy to navigate the menu. Loved my chicken kabob platter with rice; the salad that accompanied was delicious & refreshing! Chicken was cooked perfectly and the rice was delish. The hummus platter was plentiful enough for two and we were thrilled to have leftovers. Staff was so nice bringing us all little containers so we could take every morsel home and they even gave us extra pita; so accommodating! Thank you so much for a great meal!"
"My aunt and I had a great experience at Zafran Kabab Palace. The customer service was excellent and the food was extremely flavorful and delicious! I could eat here a few times a month if I lived in the Charlotte area. Hats off to the chef. I highly recommend to try Zafran soon!"
"This is definitely something I can't get in Cary. One of my friends recommended it and it was relatively cheap and so good! I got the chicken rice platter. Whatever that white stuff is, it's delicious! The food came out steaming hot, too, so I ate it outside and it didn't cool off too much."
"We thad food to go, and it was very authentic. Everything from the tabouli to the Kibie, humus, grape leaves was excellent. Our group knows great Mediterranean (Syrian) food, and this is one of the best we've had except home cooking.The woman who helped us was freindly and happy to give us extra plates and forks.Next time I'm in townb, this where I'll be oreding my Syrian style food."
"A convenient location. It's right beside a Starbucks & Gas Station. If you're craving Falafel, lamb, and Mediterranean, this will definitely hit the spot. Very clean inside. Various tables to choose from if you decide to dine in. Full menu that consists of wraps, salads, platters, and many side dish items. We ordered a chicken pita with fries and a chicken Greek salad. Both are very tasty with lots of flavor. Ordered one falafel, was not really a fan. It was small and cold and felt like powder when I but into it. The employees were super friendly and efficient. Put our order in, and no less than 2 minutes, our order was ready. Definitely will be returning to try other things on their menu."

This is just an update of what we have a few days ago at this Jasmine Grill after I met two new friends. We all were volunteers at Trump's rally in Charlotte. The two new friends have heritage from Middle East. And I have a new visitor from HongKong, he loves new food. I then suggested this place to see how they would grade the food.We ordered kabobs, Shawarma. They all enjoyed the food and gave good comments.We ordered coffee, just they didn't have cinnamon. Other than that, everything was very good.

Loved this place I can't believe I have never been before! Service was great. Everyone was very welcoming and helpful. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate with fries and yellow rice as my two sides. It came with so much chicken! I loved the seasoning on the fries and the rice. The chicken was super flavorful and tender. I also loved the garlic sauce that it came with. I even ordered a 16oz container of it to take home. My sister had the chicken kebabs and they were also very tender. They had a nice chargrilled flavor as well.Overall, everything was so fresh and flavorful and I will definitely come back to try other menu items!

First and foremost, the young lady who rang us up was a gem. She was friendly and helped us make choices, all of which we were happy with. The gyro was the best of the savory food. Then the two desserts - can't remember names, but one was like baklava but with a different filling, and the other had coconut in it. Both were great. Place itself is casual, seems they operate as a quasi market as well. Look forward to being back!

Food was flavorful and fresh. The owner and server were welcoming, cordial and helpful. The restaurant itself is okay. It is located on the second floor of the strip mall. We tried several dishes, beef, chicken, goat. The Naan was delicious. I am not an expert on Pakistani cuisine, but I liked and enjoyed what I ordered. I will go back again.

The halal food truck craze has taken Uptown Charlotte by storm as there are multiple trucks on standby to provide lunch to busy office workers or a welcome drunk meal to late night parties. The most prominent of these is the Halal Food Cart which is usually posted up in the heart of Uptown on the intersection of Trade and Tryon. Unfortunately they are cash only which is puzzling because you are able to order from them on Door Dash so you would think they would have the ability to accept card payments. I've found that the quality varies from different visits, most recently I was a little let down. I ordered on Door Dash the lamb over rice, which usually is excellent. This time however I felt that it was simply over salted and lacked the flavor I had enjoyed previously. I suppose everyone has off nights. The lines you will often see forming outside the truck really speak for themselves, and I can tell you from experience that after a long night out, a lamb over rice can hit the spot like no other.

So first time here, I went Wednesday night and it was not busy at all. Only me and two other people there. Location is a good location because they share parking with other shops in the area so parking is not limited. I ordered first and paid after I finished dinner. There was one cook and I think someone else in the building but was in a different room so didn't see them. The cook didn't greet us when we first walked in, but greeted us later when we were ready to order. My friend and I ordered the shawarma beef and lamb plate but I think we only got beef because there was no indication on which meat was which. It all looked the same. The portion is quick generous considering it was a 20$ plate. I've been to other mediterranean places and they normally give you a salad and chips with it but I only got pita bread with this dish. It wasn't the best but I was hungry so didn't mind. Just wished it came with more things for the price. It seems like a family owned place which is nice. That's always the best to support small businesses. But will definitely ordered something different next time

The food was delicious and Rabeyah gave excellent customer service. I had a chicken shawarma and I am so glad none of the sauces are mayonnaise based. Rabeyah told me they were yogurt based. Also my lunch date had a Vegan Shawarma and he's had it before. He was confused bc Rabeyah said it has tofu in it but before he was told it was made with plantains. We also had an appetizer of falafel but didn't care for them. They were dry and overcooked. So we would like clarity on that and we had a hard time finding a clean table but other than that I'd return.

"First timed trying Dominican food and I really enjoyed it!Ordered the Oxtail Stew (Rabo Guisado) not realizing it would be spicy. Not a huge fan of spice, but I couldn't stop eating it! The meat was so flavorful and tender. On the side were a (HUGE) pile of rice and stewed cabbage.For me personally, the meat portion was perfect for just one meal, while the sides were plentiful enough for two. Basically meaning the $15 price tag a little steep for me. However, the non-protein freaks out there could probably split this meal into two and it would be an awesome value!Also good to note that currently Mi Barrio is still take-out only."
"I decided to DoorDash from US Fried Chicken since I never had them before I ordered quarter dark with fries and Jamaican patty. The chicken was okay and the patty no real treat very basic like it had been under a heat light. I think this order was my first and last one."
"THE BEST halal food truck in all of Charlotte! I go at least 1-2 times/week and it never disappoints. Lamb over rice is amazing!"
"So went to this place while I was in the area for lunch. Good customer service and food came out fast and hot. Really appreciated the guy behind the counter, very nice. Has seating on the outside and inside, everything was minimal but clean. As for the chicken, it looked good, was hot, but just didn't have enough seasoning. Hot sauce saved it but wouldn't order again. Fries were fine. If I came back, I'd get the lamb over rice or something along those lines. More like a 3.5 review. Service really good. Sure other food options are solid but fried chicken a bit bland."
"I can't lie this place is an eye sore but the fried chicken wings are always so so so good. This place does friend chicken wings right at a good price. The wings are fried whole and are really good. It's worth a visit forsure. I like mine extra crispy and the flavor is homemade with good batter/skin. I would definitely check this place out if you like old school friend chicken wings. I ONLY eat the wings here. I haven't tried anything else & ive been here like 10x. Go home put you some honey & hotsauce on these wings mannnnnnnn"
"Find all your middle eastern/ Egyptian food and drinks finds at Aladdin market! They've really got everything you need from meats to breads, teas, frozen foods and a big spice section. I stop in here and get all my staples. Plenty of parking outside."
"A solid pick for a quick lunch or snack - dine in or take out. Everything was made fresh to-order and the owner was a very nice and hard-working guy. A simple establishment, but a diverse menu that is very Americanized. No overly strange or strong spices, and medium-sized portions at a good price.I had the falafel wrap, and the deep-fried chickpea was tasty without having too much spice or seasoning. Lettuce and tomato were fresh and well balanced in the wrap. I opted for the seasoned fries which were nice and the perfect salt balance.There is a couple of tables out front for the sunnier time of day, and a great record store next door to browse through while you digest the meal.Next time I will try some of the more exotic items... several people came in for the chicken tikka and rice dishes and appeared to be regulars."
"Got here at 12am and service was still amazing and attentive. My sandwich was packed with a lot of stuff and had plenty of flavor. The employees were extremely nice and I was really grateful to receive such wonderful service late at night!!"
