Hold hands with the Yelper next to you and repeat after me! Shawarma, kafta, musakaa, shawarma, kafta, musakaa! Poof - I just turned you into a shish kebab and transported you to Matthews!
When you first enter, you will instantly be drawn to the large case loaded with kebabs; they are truly beautiful to look at. And right next to it, some beautiful pastries.
The appetizers are simply amazing - Moutabel (creamy and smoky), Musakaa (a meal in itself), Fried Cauliflower and warm Stuffed Vine Leaves - all of it served with warm fresh baked bread. You could easily make a meal of just appetizers and a salad!! Any and all of the kebabs are good - so pick your preference of chicken, lamb or beef. The entree portions are served on a platter with enough rice and roasted vegetables to feed a small family. My first experience with Shawarma was very tasty - hints of vinegar and cinammon from the marinade - though maybe just a bit dry.
I love that you can bring your own beer for a fifty cent per bottle fee ( just bring a growler to get through that loophole!). 4.5 Stars rounded up to Five.
Definitely worth a field trip to Matthews!!
