Two years ago I came to this Restaurant and it was called The Jerusalem Cafe, It has changed hands and is now Kabob Hot. The food is very authentic Syrian - Middle Eastern and very good. We ordered a lot of appetizers to get the taste of everything. We had the Hummus with Cumin which was very smooth and creamy. We had the Fried Halloumi Cheese, fresh and beautifully presented . The Fried Cauliflower which was nice and lemony and hot and fresh. And the Fried Potato chips. All of those appetizers were good and they were served with some very thin, pita bread wrapped in plastic wrap, this is where they lost the other star. There should be freshly made pita, which some of the competition makes. Serving that thin dried bread took away from the awesomeness of the good appetizers. For Dessert we had Syrian Bakdash Ice Cream, which is a middle eastern type of Ice cream made without eggs and flavored with Rose Water and it's pounded with large wooden mallets and then pulled and stretched, owing its taffy-like consistency to an ingredient called mastic gum. Covered with ground Pistachios and sitting on a thin anise flavored cookie, it was really good. Sitting in the middle of a strip mall it is a welcome place to eat when you want authentic ethnic!
