| - Several years ago (maybe 8...), I used to frequent Kabob Grill for lunch. I loved their pita sandwiches and small, but cozy interior. I changed jobs and hadn't been back in a while. So, when my book club decided to meet at Kabob Grill for an early dinner on a Tuesday evening I was pretty excited.
I walked in to an empty restaurant around 5:20 p.m. to find someone mopping the floor and no one to seat me. After a minute of awkwardly waiting, someone eventually pointed at a table for me. The room smelled a bit of dirty mop water, but I figured that would go away quickly. Not off to a great start, but nothing that good food and service can't make up for - I wish that it had.
The menu, as mentioned extensively in other reviews, is very much overpriced. I ordered a vegetarian combo - hummus, baba ganoush, taboli, falafel, and some potatoes for $18. With it came some pita in plastic baggies. The food was tasty, but not exceptional. I also ordered a glass of red wine - there are three options, all $10/glass. I don't mind selecting a $10 glass of wine, but I'd like some choices in the single digits.
The service, also mentioned extensively in other reviews, was indeed short and gruff. While I didn't lack anything, I didn't feel particularly welcome either. We also had the unpleasant experience of having a number of fruit flies join our conversation over dinner.
Overall, the consensus at the table was that the food was okay, but this would not be a place we would meet again.
