| - "Yo, Gurt, you know kaBob? No, but we might recognize it if you Hummus a few bars."
I've had my share of Mediterranean food. In fact, Middle Eastern is among my favorite cuisines. So who would have thought I would find the best kafta I've ever had in Charlotte, of all places. Perfectly spiced. Juicy. Fantastic.
Food.
As I mentioned, the kafta was awesome. The "hommos"/hummus was nice and rich, with a little olive oil drizzle in the middle. And the falafel was hot and moist, which is no small feat. I was very impressed with the food.
Space.
There isn't a ton of seating, but there is a fairly large bar area where I assume you could order dinner, and there are a few outside tables. We went on a Tuesday night, and there wasn't a problem getting a table.
Portions.
My kafta entree included three fairly large kafta kabobs, two "delightful side items" (hummus and falafel in my case), mixed vegetables, and 5 pieces of pita. I was pretty hungry going in, but was barely able to finish everything. If you think you might need more food, order a couple of appetizers, but KG's portions were the same as, or larger than the portions I've seen at similar restaurants.
Prices.
We only had entrees, but overall, the prices seemed appropriate. The prices for wine by the glass seemed a little high ($7-8), but the pours were pretty generous, so I wouldn't consider them completely unreasonable.
They could warm the pita and drop the prices of wine by the glass by $1 or $2, but this is nitpicking. The food is great, and the service is friendly and attentive. We will be back soon and often.
Kabob Grill, you are my Gyro!
