| - Lovers of Lamb beware! I must have come after the lunch rush or maybe they could care less about the quality of their lamb. Instead of going for the classic Gyro, especially when I try a new Greek or Middle Eastern restaurant.
I ordered the Lamb Kabob, served with a very modest portion of rice with just a small hint of citrus and the Hummus. The first red flag was the lamb was not skewered, it was just a small pile of slightly charred chunks of meat sitting on top of grilled vegetables.
The lamb was probably the second worst quality of lamb I have ever tasted. It was tough, lacking any freshness at all, the meat was so questionable that I can only think to myself, I hope I don't get sick from this meal.
The sauce, which is apparently supposed to be a complement to the lamb tasted more like a curdled yogurt with a sharp metallic taste.
You have a choice of soup or salad and I chose the Lentil soup, a soup this easy shouldn't be as hard as apparently it is for their complete lack of skills; bland, boring, and not enough lentils for my taste, I personally prefer a thicker Lentil soup. I've worked in many kitchens and I will still attest that if a kitchen can make a good soup, the rest will follow in the beautiful quality of what careful planning can do. Back to the drawing board for this lazy kitchen.
The best part was the Hummus, beautiful presentation with sliced beets and a nice subtle hint of garlic lingering in the background. Overall, the service was great and very friendly, but friendly service is not enough to invoke me to return and I will more than likely skip this place and try somewhere else for a real lamb kabob.
