| - I came across Green Corner when was looking for a place to eat before a meeting and Yelp showed me this 5 solid star take out place. They gave me chicken and beef shwarmna to taste but both were too dry for me to wanna order. Flavor was very good though. I really had my heart set on the lamb shank I saw on the online menu, but upon arriving, they said they only serve lamb shank on Fridays. The manager, named Ash, nephew of the owner, is very personable and I give him 5 stars for service! When I checked email receipt, it defaulted to the checked "I agree to receive promotional offers from...." and I was unable to UNcheck it in ti,e. So Ash called the company and got them to remove me from receiving "the junk". He also got me online using their free WiFi, so here I am telling you about my experience.
I ordered the combo kabab plate, but I found all items also "two dry", especially the chicken kabab. Chicken was sooooo hard and dry, it was burnt black in many places.
When Ash came to ask me how my food was, i showed him how dry the chicken kabobs were, by pressing on the meat, and it was mostly charred black. He told me that he has to cook it that way because it is "chicken". I sorta understood and did not mention that I had read the review in the "Not recommended section" that these people wrote, how sick they got eating the food here. But instead I told Ash, that the best kabab chicken I ever had was at Kyber Halal, moist, tender and yet has charbroiled taste. But Ash never heard of Kyber Halal (at SW corner of Indian School and 24th Street, Phx). I never order chicken when I go out, soley because of "too dry and hard". Few restaurants can cook white meat otherwise, and Kyber Halal is one. Scottsdale Conference center is another. Indeed the New Times Review of Green Corner, framed on the wall says Green Corner's chicken is dry, and even says the same thing I do "which is hard and dry chicken seems to be ubiquitous and usual".
I give 3 stars for the food I ate, and 5 stars for the service I got from Ash, so overall 4 stars.
I will give this place another chance, and when I come again, I will have the lamb chops. Seeing my MeetUp post, another eating buddy came here by himself. He had chicken shawarma sandwich which he loved, and says he was coming back the next day. I think he is eating there several times a week, now.
