| - I went here for lunch with two coworkers today. We went to the location on Ray and Rural. The decor was strip mall gloomy, but I expected that. The music was a little low, so it was a bit silent when we went in there. I think turning it up a notch would be great. The man taking our order was very friendly and offered a sample of the Wednesday Special Eggplant Stew. My friend ordered that. I got the Lamb Kabob Entree, and my other friend got the chicken wrap.
To start off, my dish had a lamb kabob, basmati rice w/saffron, and a grilled tomato. The lamb was very flavorful and not dry, and the rice was okay. There were a few sliced red onions on the side, but I could have used more. What was really lacking was pita bread.... oh wait.. under the rice and kabob was a half a pita bread that was hidden. It was a really poor choice to put it under there. It soaked all the juices of the kabob and ended up being mushy.
My friend's chicken wrap looked pretty good. A chicken kabob wrapped around a pita with cucumber sauce and onions. The fries he got looked double fried. I think he made a face at me, because they had a brand of "true chef ketchup".. and he's from Pittsburgh.
The other friend said the eggplant stew was okay. With all the mediterranean restaurants around, I was hoping that the special would be the star of the place.
I may come back one more time and try a different special, but I think there are a lot more standout places around.
