Service is a bit discombobulated no big deal, prices are very low and there are tables outside, another plus.
The Kafta kabob ($10)- mix of ground lamb, beef, spices- comes w/ yellow rice, grilled tomato and onion and a side of your choice. Simply excellent!
4 stars
I got the Humus as a side... it was interesting. It was presented with stripes of Cumin and paprika and a bit of fresh mint floating in a small wading pool of olive oil in the middle of it all. I liked the flavor the unusual garnish gave it but I thought the hummus lacked something ... maybe tehini?

My companion had a falafel wrap, it comes with fries. The falafel wrap was very good but the there was no dressing in it. Again tehini may have helped but there's a number of sauces that would have worked. The fries were the standard kind but they were nicely crispy and we ended dipping them into the humus, which worked great.
3 1/2 stars.
We also tried the Cheese Burek, these were deep fried as opposed to baked, it tasted OK but honestly personally I much prefer the baked phylo kind. The only bad note was the ice cubes had taste to them, they gave us fresh bottles of water to make up for it.
With Jasmine on the West side of town, Le Shish kabob on the East side and Kabob Je in Matthews, Charlotte certainly has Arabic food well covered.
