| - Can I give this place 10 stars? It's really that good. We had to go to Best Buy and we were hungry & looked up the nearby restaurants. We picked Kebab-Je because we were SO over the same ol' same ol' and the overflowing number of effusively positive reviews of the food & service. We are so glad we did.
First, the service really is stellar. The host/manager asked if it was our first time here, and when he found out, he sent us out complimentary samples of the chicken and beef/lamb shawarma & sauces, then sent us a complimentary plate of hummus with our falafel appetizer! He also did a robot dance for our 4 yo son, who was absolutely delighted by that. Even if the food was awful, the service was so great we'd have come back anyway. Our waitress was also super attentive & on point. Never had to ask for a refill and she brought us a kid cup of water for our son when he finished his juice, again we didn't e even need to ask.
But the food... With every bite we said OMG THIS IS AMAZING. First, the falafel: I didn't know falafel could taste this good. Ditto hummus. The tahini sauce is divine. I ordered the shawarma plate, which was incredible. The basmati rice was saffron yellow with raisins in it, delicate flavor. The grilled vegetables were seasoned with I have no idea what but perfect. My husband got the braised lamb shank and it was falling off the bone, melt in your mouth. He said to tell you all, "THE HOOK IS OFF HERE!" As in, it's off the hook delicious. The portions are huge. I was ravenous and couldn't eat half my plate. It's not cheap, but the price is on par with any Applebee's. The food and portions are light years better value than any such boring chain restaurant. This is clearly some nice family's pride and joy and it shows. Eat here. Luxuriate in the foodgasm to follow. It's worth it.
