| - Wonderfully authentic! My boyfriend and I found this place through a quick search on Yelp and the four and five stars reviews don't lie.
Just a note, my BF is vegan and usually has to settle for the saddest of options at any place other than a vegan/vegetarian-friendly restaurant but that is not the case at Grand Kebab. They offer not only a grilled veggie plate but you could easily make your own mezze plate out of the side dishes. I saw baba ganoush, tabbouleh, hummus, two different green salads, and rice. The owner told me that he offers different sides each day.
The BF ultimately went with the grilled vegetable plate and was very satisfied with the size, the price, and the taste. The vegetable skewer was nicely seasoned with flavored oil and consisted of red bell peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, yellow squash, onions, and Brussels sprouts. The sprouts were a nice touch and rarely seen on a vegetable skewer. The veggies were plated over seasoned rice with a huge side of hummus and a large piece of pita.
I went with a combo of beef lula and chicken kebab with hummus and tabbouleh. The combo also came with the seasoned rice and the bread. The lula was so, so flavorful and and juicy. So good! The chicken was cooked perfectly with a mild spice. The hummus is some of the best I've ever had and blows all of that grainy supermarket hummus out of the water. I love tabbouleh and this was amazing with a bright lemony kick and good ratio of bulgur to parsley and mint.
The size was enough to leave leftovers and not just a couple of bites. I still had half left for a great breakfast the next day.
Please do not be in a hurry when you come here. The side dishes are prepared but the meats and veggies are made to order. The kitchen has a window so you can see the owners making your food. No pulling pre-made foods from the refrigerator and microwaving them here. The owner told me that they don't even have a microwave. And you can look in the kitchen and see that!
We will be back. I still have lamb chops and cornish game hen to try, as well as the sides I couldn't get to like the salads and the cacik (tzatziki).
If you have a picky/non-adventurous eater, you will be happy to know that they do offer fried chicken fingers. But really, if you want to stick with chicken, go with the kebab. It is a hand-cut and marinaded chicken breast. So tasty and won't freak out your non-adventurous eater.
Oh, and ask the owner to play you some of his favorite music while you are there. You might find a new favorite jazz artist!
