My Kabab is a Mediterranean restaurant that opened in 2023. Its menu lists appetizers such as babaganush, haydari, stuffed grape leaves, and falafel and appetizers such as chicken kabab, kofta, lamb chops, beef doner, and Greek salad. This restaurant even has a small menu for children. The restaurant offers dining in (many tables are available), pickup/takeout, and delivery.So far, I have ordered food from this restaurant three times--once for pickup in December 2023, once for takeout in February 2024, and once for delivery in February 2024. For the in-person visits, an employee spoke kindly to my husband and me. For our second visit, my husband ordered a second entree by saying its name aloud and pointing to it on the menu, but for some reason (language barrier or entree not in stock?), the employee did not enter this entree into the computer or cook it. For the delivery, the kitchen took about 1 hour 15 minutes to prepare the food.My husband and I ate the foods at home. Here are our reviews for the foods:Hummus with pita - 4 stars - This hummus contained the usual ingredients of chickpeas, tahini, garlic, cumin, black pepper, salt, lemon juice, and olive oil, and I thought that it tasted good. The pita bread was fresh and chewy.Falafel - 4 stars - The falafel contained chickpeas, chopped vegetables, and flour, and I liked its flavors. It was served with hummus and lettuce.Chicken shish - 4 stars - Large chunks of chicken breast were marinated in spices and cooked on a skewer. The meat was juicy and tasted mildly spicy. On the side were rice, pita, salad, and onions, all of which were very fresh and tasted very good.Lamb shish - 4 stars - My husband ate a similar entree of chunks of lamb. He seemed to like his lamb and sides. He did say that some of the lamb had tough gristle. We do greatly appreciate that this restaurant offers kababs that have whole chunks of meats rather than just ground meats.Haydari - 4 stars - This haydari contained yogurt, feta, chopped walnuts, garlic, olive oil, dill, and mint. It was very fresh and tasted good with its accompanying pita bread.Kavurma - 5 stars - This entree consisted of sautéed beef, tomatoes, and peppers on top of rice. On the side were onions and a small salad. The ingredients were very flavorful.Midye baklava - 4 stars - I was not previously aware of this particular type of baklava. This dessert was three pieces of pastry shell that were filled with mixed nuts and syrup.Beef and lamb doner kabab/shawarma - 5 stars - My husband ate this entree, and I tried one bite. We thought that this wrap tasted very good. My husband did comment that he did not expect it to contain pickles, but he did enjoy the beef, lamb, lettuce, cucumber, etcetera.Babaganush - 3.5 stars - This eggplant dip had a smoky flavor and paired nicely with one pice of pita bread. Pineapple Chicken Doner Kabab - 5 stars - This entree was what my husband had previously unsuccessfully ordered in person, so I ordered it on GrubHub for delivery. This doner kabab was a large size, was fresh, and tasted very good. Raw Veggie Kofte - 3.5 stars - I received several pieces of ground vegetables (e.g., lentils, bulgur, onions, tomatoes, and parsley) that tasted spicy. I had not previously eaten this type of food, so my tastebuds felt surprised. Shepherd salad - 4.5 stars - This salad contained tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, lemon juice, parsley, vinegar, and oil. This salad was simple but tasted very good. Pomegranate Salad - 5 stars - This menu item was like a potato salad with pomegranates, onions, and some other ingredients. This salad is definitely one of my favorites at this restaurant.Baklava - 4.5 stars - The baker did a good job with layering the phyllo dough, crushed pistachios, and syrup. This baklava did not taste as sweet as some Greek baklava that I have previously made.Shakar Pare - ? - I ordered this dessert, but I did not receive it. Instead, the restaurant gave me a second baklava.
