Since Road Runner relocated, I decided to try the kabob place next door. Boy was I happy I did! I got a chicken kabob sandwich and asked them to make it spicy .. it was so fresh and their tiziki sauce was def made in house for the sandwich. It was sooo good that I decided to order a whole bunch of sandwiches the next day for my sis and her kids. It was great fresh good. And their Halal fried chicken is wonderful!

I absolutely adore this spot. The chicken kabob platter is delicious- the food in general is amazing. In addition to that, the gentleman who, I believe, owns the establishment is so sweet and welcoming! I’ve only ever gotten take-out from here but they always give an accurate estimate for when the food will be ready, too.

This is still one of the best in town. My husband and I used to come here years ago and it never missed. We moved out of the area but yesterday I was driving through and decided to stop by for a takeout order and it is just as I remember it. Juicy meat full of flavor, fluffy naan so delicious by itself but I love to use it to sop up the chickpeas -my mouth is watering while leaving this post. If you haven’t tried it, do yourself a favor and check it out.

Gonna start off saying their food is the best food you can have, they give you good portions and they’re always considerate. Kind people, good service, the place is a bit small but cozy, and it has a welcoming vibe. I can’t emphasize enough, their food is really good and their prices are good for what you pay. I’ve been to other kabob restaurants and they charge so much for so little. Great restaurant, great food, great people. Definitely worth giving it a try.

I stopped by for take out today. First when you walk in the place smells amazing. I was greeted promptly and the gentleman said my order was almost complete he was putting it together. Let me tell you when I brought the meals home my family all the sudden appeared and were starving. They all enjoyed the meal we had the chicken and kofta Platter as well as double chicken. The meal had generous portions we will diffinately order from them again.

Well this place has been here for over 15 years. The kabob is just kabob but the bread is made in a clay oven and is really good. My favorite dish is the gyro platter, it’s served over salad with fresh Afghan bread. Overall a great place for a quick bite.

Owner is very rude. I did a big order and had one time asked to see the price on the screen and he accused me that I thought he was over charging. I said no, I am just wanting to know the price for each one that is all. This isn’t the first time had this incident, had prior experience of them being rude They might have decent food, but customer service is horrible. He keeps saying how he’s been doing this for twenty years – clearly I am used to food businesses and I know how to treat customers.

So disappointed. The bread was the best part. My food was mushy, greasy and missing part of take-out order.

Delicious kabob meal! I got combo 9 and every bit of it was very good! It comes with 3 sauces and pita bread. Definitely worth it. They take their time so don’t expect a Chipotle line make sure you have a half hour at least. Highly recommend.
