| - I really want to like this place but there's just too much wrong going on to justify more than 3 stars.
The place looks crappy inside. I guess it's ok for lunch (if you're not actually hanging out with someone) or for take out but I can't imagine coming here for dinner. The first thing I noticed the first time we came here, was dirty floor and a couple of tables with dirty dishes. It wasn't raining that day, so there was no reason for the floor to be this filthy (even if it rained or snowed, a dirty floor at a restaurant is still a red flag). There were only 3 people sitting at one table, so it's safe to say that the restaurant wasn't busy that day. Again, no excuse for not cleaning the tables promptly. We waited for our food for 30 minutes, no one came in in the meantime, and the dirty dishes on other tables were still there when we left. Ugh.
We got take out from Turkish Kebab House twice. Each time there was a problem with the order (just like other reviewers noted). Apparently, no matter if you place your order in person or over the phone, they WILL make mistakes. And yes, we repeated our order 3 times the first time (the lady taking the order kept asking us what we ordered while we were waiting) and probably 5 times the second time over the phone. Unbelievable. Anyway, we've never actually got here what we wanted (both times ordering for 4 people). The food we ended up with was quite tasty but the point is that I wanna eat what I wanna eat, not what they put in the bag for me, right?
So yes, the food is good but you never know what you will actually get (I guess that's a good thing because chances are that you will end up liking your food anyway). I must say that their prices are kind of steep in comparison with other similar places and especially looking at how much food you get (not much, there won't be leftovers). It also takes FOREVER to get your food. Both times the wait was over 30 minutes and there was nobody at the restaurant.
After last time, I really don't think we'll be coming back here. I wanted to love this place but I was so annoyed with the order mix up (I get grumpy when I'm hungry, m'kay?) that I just decided that there will be no third chance for Turkish Kebab House.
