So good I came back to try the Adana chicken and lamb kebabs (added a la carte for $5.95). Got the chicken vegetable soup this time which was decent but not as good as the lentil soup.
Both lamb and chicken kebabs were outstanding. Really juicy and flavorful. Nice charcoal flavor.
Rice is nicely seasoned and house bread is soft and warm. Took all my will power and then some to not finish both and ask for seconds.
Didn’t do so well on the food front. Had a great gyro off a random food stall in the Grand Bazzar (still have my sheepskin rug and faux-chinchilla throw) but wasn’t the biggest fan of the sour component in the mezzes.
Kebabs are grilled to order. they have a daily special which is what is in the chafing dishes.
The menu has changed in which they don’t offer chicken thigh kebabs any more, just chicken breast. I guess the business owners had a falling out and one of them left
So, I’m not sure if it is still good.
I didn’t even really look at the list before… it’s unbelievbaly bizarre.
What makes people yelp about these places?
I find it unbelievable that the Playground 2.0 is on there… is it the most accessible fine-dining experience in the entire country essentially?
A little sub shop from my hometown is on there…how funny… Sub Culture in HB. The sandwiches are nice, but not like insanely special, not “best in the nation” special. Sandwiches at Gjusta make them look like Oscar Meyer bologna and kraft singles your mom made you as a kid…
But then random legit places like Rose’s Luxury, and Franklin BBQ are on there. So it’s not even that it selects for crap, but just seemingly completely random.
Truly WTF. I don’t know how anyone really relies on Yelp for anything… I guess in some ways it’s amusing as it is frightening to think there are millions of people that believe Copper Top BBQ is the best restaurant in America. I guess that doesn’t help our international image much hah
