| - I obviously found this place through Yelp because I searched for new places around. I had to look around but if you're familiar with the area around Craig, you prolly be able to easily find it.
I was greeted by a man and a kid at the counter so I would assume that this is family owned and told me that they've only been open for 2 months now. I, myself, have tried a lot of Halal food especially in New York.
Today, I ordered the Lamb Chops combo for to go- rice, 4 lamb chops, half a tomato, yogurt salad and 1 pita bread for $15 + tax + tip, total of $18. I wasn't really impressed as the meat was dry- over cooked on the grill I guess, and it was bland. It didn't come with any white sauce in it and the yogurt salad was just ok. The pita bread didn't come with hummus and you would have to add $2 if you want one, which I think was not a good idea. Pita bread comes with hummus and hummus comes with pita bread!
Overall, this combo is very expensive for the area that they're catering for. In comparison, a Lamb Chop combo in NYC would only cost you $10, and the same box would give you overflowing rice and salad, 4 lamb chops and falafel!
They still have a lot of room for improvement. My suggestion is to lower the price OR increase the amount of 1 serving. Also, get a guy who really knows how to cook Mediterranean food. My lamb chop, as well as the meat on the grillers, were dry and bland. :(
