It's hard not to be a creature of habit and just go to places that you are familiar to eat. Eating out is costly and the last thing people want to do is to go to a place and be disappointed about it.
That's why finding places like Shish Kabab Express is great. We were in the area and were looking for a quick eat. We came upon this place through Yelp and decided to take a chance. The outside is not much to talk about. Looks a bit shady to be honest. Once inside, you go to the front to order, cafeteria style. Prices were not cheap but reasonable based on the area. There are limited seating available, roughly no more than 16 people.
There's different options to choose including daily specials but we chose to go with the platters. We chose the Beef and Chicken Shawarma platters along with the Lamb Shank platter. They give you a choice of brown or yellow rice along with salad. Prices ranged from $12 to 14 for the 3 platters. Portions were large. The lamb, chicken and beef were delicious. All of the meats were not dry at all. Beautifully done. Rice was also good and the only thing that was average was the salad. There's also an option to put a hot sauce which can kick up a few notches. Be warned!
The place play Arabic music and we went a little bit after 1pm and it was steady but not busy.
Don't let appearances stop you from coming here especially if you love this type of food.
