As someone else mentioned...The Bread & Garlic....Yum !They also bring the red salsa with the bread which is far better than some Mexican restaurant's salsas, but the garlic is where it's at!Been here 4 times total, 3 dine in, one carry out,.All 3 dine in's were great. Deboned chicken is super flavorful, very juicy and a generous amount of chicken. The lamb kabob was superb, so tender and tasty and cooked to order. The chicken shawarma was very good, not the best we've ever had but still very good, not dry and again a generous portion. Had rice and salad all three times, the salad dressing is very good, the rice is very good and what I expect from a Mediterranean establishment. The carry out was just a chicken shawarma sandwich and was good but nothing special. Service is great, very friendly very professional. We will definitely be back !

Our experience was absolutely amazing! The entire staff was super friendly and tried to accommodate our needs without any issues. The bread and garlic was one of the best I've had, we devoured the first basket, so they brought us another one with more garlic! I could live just of these two... garlic was super garlicky, yum!I got the Majadara dish that comes with only one side, so I got the lentil soup. Substituted yogurt with tahini. Soup was delicious and nicely flavored with cumin, majadara was also very good. Did I mention the bread and garlic? Hubby got the chicken Sajji as this is something we have not seen in other Middle Eastern / Mediterranean restaurants, and he liked it a lot. Very interesting sauce that is served with it. And the bread....Portions were generous. We had plenty of leftovers including more bread and garlic.... oh my. The restaurant was very clean.I would give them 5 starts, but the only thing that bothers me are the prices. It's quite expensive in comparison to other similar places. I'll be back to try other vegetarian/vegan dishes, and of course for the bread... and garlic...

Quaint restaurant with excellent service!Stumbled upon this restaurant as a halfway meeting pinpoint for our family. My kids were being extra rambunctious, but the staff was kind and understanding about their energy. Food was delicious. The fresh bread was absolutely devoured by everyone at our table. We shared a quart of smoothie, which was also a big hit. I had the Shish Tawook with rice and a Fattoush salad. The lemon oregano sauce was perfection. We had plenty of leftovers to take home too. My oldest started wandering the restaurant near the end of the meal and was grumpy. One of the restaurant staff found him and placed a chef hat on his head, calling him the head chef. It completely turned his night around. He was so happy! Thanks to the thoughtful staff! We will definitely come back.

Placed a carryout to take home to my mom, et al. Mom was craving good Mediterranean since her favorite place closed down years ago. I've eaten here a handful of times, but this was my first carryout. Every time I have been greeted immediately upon entry, today was no exception. The gentleman at the counter asked if it was my first time, I told him no, but it will be first for my family. They doubled my bread order, added a hummus to try, and gave me a larger order of the salsa! Even without all the wonderful extras they added, I walked out with a ton of food! If that wasn't reason enough to return, the food was A-MAZING. All the entrees come with two sides. We ordered chicken tawook, shawarma combo, sajji beef and for sides fattoush, vegetable soup, and grilled vegetables, and salsa. The salsa is some of the best I've EVER had and I love good fresh salsa. The beef was sooo tender with lovely grill marks and a hint of heat from the sauce. I will order it on repeat. The vegetable soup was loaded with vegetables. Chicken and lamb nicely seasoned and tender. I was too full to try the baklava, but I'm told it was very good and not too sweet! Sooo much delicious food! Highly recommend!

I got the dinner combo with the three meats beef chicken and lamb. This included rice and lentil soup. The portions were generous, the meat was tender, the soup was excellent and wants me coming back for the other types of soup, the rice was soft, and the carrots were soft and warm. The service was also welcoming despite being a pickup order. I asked for a lot of recommendations and came to the conclusion that I wanted to try all three meats and it did not disappoint. However do know that the dinner combo comes with a price of around $30 so it is not your typical cheap fast food Mediterranean place. I would come back if I wanted a generous portions of Mediterranean food and willing to splurge a little.

I tried this place for the first time. There's a nice fire oven making small puffy pita breads (yum). The interior is new and clean. There's a counter in the front and tables off to the side.I ordered a lunch special for around $12 that came with deboned chicken, rice, two grilled carrot slices, bread and garlic. It also came w lentil soup or salad so I tried the soup.All were very good. Carrots were tender and great, no black char all over which is great. I dislike when I order grill vegetables and it comes w so much black char grilled marks. Rice has vermicelli noodle mixed in and nuts. Just want to share for those that are gluten free that it has noodle in it. Lentil soup was great. Next time I will come try a sandwich and I also want to try fattoush salad here. There's a lot of competition so if taste is all good, differentiating factors come down to 1) prices/combo availability 2) distance 3) puffy warm bread vs flat pita skins 4) customer service for me!Sam helped take my order and also gave me a nice ice cold water while I waited. Overall great experience so I will be back

There were many great aspects of our meal at Shish Island. We dined in, and the server was very friendly, and got our extensive order accurate without writing anything down. The bread was so fresh and tasty and the salsa type dip was very good. The salad was seasoned very well and extremely fresh. It was my favorite part of the meal. They do the rice right, by still having the slivered, toasted almonds, which many restaurants now skip. The hummus was very tasty as well. We will definitely be back.
