My husband and I used to come here all the time before COVID, and for a Valentine’s date this year he asked where I wanted to go—my answer was Shish without hesitation. Even after several years away, the food is still just as fantastic, with generously sized portions. The baba ghanouj is the best I’ve ever had. The family who owns and runs the restaurant does so with genuine warmth, always smiling and offering the friendliest service. Despite not visiting for a few years, one of our favorite servers even remembered us. It truly felt like we were visiting friends.

Went seeing decent reviews. Extremely disappointed with the quality of the food. Dips were very salty and chicken was dry, old and salty. Falfaels were also very dry and salty. On top the place is expensive. Couldn' finish the food and had to throw it away..

Shish Kabob Grill has really great food. I enjoy stopping by here for lunch. The falafel appetizer is wonderful - 8.5/10. The Greek salad with chicken shawarma was fantastic 9/10. The gyro is pretty tasty too! - 8.7/10. I found the onion rings to be a little plain, but still worth getting - 6.5/10. All in all, great service, food came out fast and it was an enjoyable experience.

I got the falafel wrap and my husband got the beef shawarma wrap—both were great! The fries are perfectly cooked and well seasoned. Service was friendly and quick (despite them being slammed). I’ll definitely be back!
