5 stars for Chef Abdul Mediterranean Restaurant - a very nice family owned small business in St…read more Charles. We tried them for the first time today and it was amazing. The waitress was very friendly, and provided us complimentary pita bread and pita chips and a sample of orange/pomegranate juice. The entrees were excellent, the beef kebab was amazing, very tender and fresh, as was the chicken shawarma. The portions are also massive and can easily be split into 2 meals if you wanted to. As an FYI, the dine in area is not very big so if you come during prime lunch time you may not be able to dine in. Overall if you want Mediterranean, I highly recommend Chef Abdul - a great chef and restaurant!

So instead of taking a plane to California I decided to try Chef Abdul in St Charles. This is a fun photo filled family restaurant that has great service. The Falafel with garlic sauce was phenomenal and the Chicken Shawarma was so flavorful. The shawarma plate is huge and can easily be shared. The Chicken is not juicy but that is how I prefer it. Skip the soup. Didn't finish mine. You may substitute a salad for rice for 2 dollars extra which is fair.Salad was great.The Turkish coffee service is fun and delicious.

Even if I bothered to drive all the way back to argue about it they would've been closed so no recourse. Food tasted like it would've been good but was mostly very dry. I did come an hour before closing but I don't think that means I should've been served mummified food. No sauces were included with my combination plate, don't know if that's nonsense protocol or another oversight as with my missing baba ghanouj. Part of the combination plate includes Spicy Chili Chicken which looks good on their website, red and well seasoned. But what I got was pale, bland and completely devoid of any spiciness. It's almost like they make their food in an unauthentic way to cater to white folks cuz they don't think we can handle the flavor ‍ I've used shawarma marinade packets from Jewel that tasted better than whatever they use. Also their pita bread is pretty low quality, like the difference between Turano and Butternut bread. Funny since that's their namesake. Won't be returning or recommending.

I used* to* love* Kabobs, BUT sadly I fear it's becoming commercialized and the quality is…read moresignificantly suffering. Please hear me out. They have always* struggled with CONSISTENCY issues ever since they started (I've had raw chicken multiple times from them, now it's all burnt/dry), but it's more and more apparent recently. The meats are not only overcooked and EXTREMELY DRY, but the burnt exterior is a genuine *carcinogenic* (fact-check me) issue that leaves a disgusting taste in my mouth that is worse than sand IMO. The gyro meat is more grainy and un-chewable lately. The chicken is overcooked and dry as heck. The rice is undercooked and almost hard. The salads are less fresh, and I notice a distinct difference in the olives lately (more bitter and mushy, YUCK- I love good Kalamata olives, but NO thank you). I genuinely write this in a probably naive attempt to warn Kabobs that they are cutting too many corners that will probably, eventually, bite them. I would be very sad if that happened. I used to love Just Kabobs-- I've had great gyro and chicken and salad, etc, so I KNOW FROM THE PAST that they can do better. The main problem now* is that they are SUPER busy and they probably don't care about quality control because the money is rolling in, but I hope they will reverse course and get better quality ASAP. (PS; at their peak they are capable of 5/5 stars.-- I just feel that the quality has significantly* declined lately and it's sad to see, and waste money on. I couldn't stomach the burnt dry chicken kabobs I got last night and it's going to waste in my trashcan ).

It was made to order and came out nice and warm (not the salad!) and everything was very tasty! We dined in and the dining area is spacious and well lit. We are regular Pita Inn diners and the food here was a touch better but also a little more expensive, but it was well worth the cost. If I want Mediterranean food and am out this way, Pita Pita is where I will come to.

I absolutely love Mediterranean restaurants, so when I saw this was near my hotel, I stopped in for…read moredinner. Their menu is loaded with all the popular items (kabobs, shawarmas, etc), so chose their chicken shawarma bowl. The lady helping ring me up explained how it was made and that sounded great, which was the garlic sauce (sort of like toom) was on the bottom with the rice on top, salad next and then the protein on top. So, this is what I ordered. It was made fresh and came out piping hot. The rice in the dish was bland and the chicken was slightly more flavorful, which means it was basically bland as well. The garlic sauce and the salad were the best two flavors on this dish and I tried to grab some of that in each bite. I wasn't too impressed with the flavors of the chicken shawarma at all, but then again I prefer flavorful and authentic food and can't stand when ethnic restaurants cater to "Americans" by making their food less spicy/authentic. The place was rather busy when I went and the dining room was kept clean. Service was friendly. I'd recommend this place to those who don't have high expectations for spice, rather are looking for a nice experience.

Tables are best, tidy and the place is very clean. The Pakistani food is delicious, made fresh daily and they offer halal meat entrees. The menu has expanded quite a bit and offers dishes for every palette from non spicy to spicy both vegetarian and various meats. They had a huge catering order of over 50 Nihari containers that smelled and looked really good! (I'll have to try that next time too!). The Mediterranean Grill items provide hummus, salad and rice accompaniments! I ordered the boneless chicken breast shish kabab which had a generous amount of meat. We also ordered the chicken tikka which came with 4 pcs (2 leg quarters). All the meat had nice seasonings, flavor and were not overly spiced. We ordered 2 lacha paratha's to accompany all the chicken that were really tasty. Even though we were full, we couldn't stop eating the rest of the paratha's! The chai and kheer was spot on and not to be missed! We plan on returning on a weekend to try their puri halwa. The owners are very friendly and make sure you are fully satisfied and happy with your meals. It's a great place for real authentic Desi food!

It was kind of small but had three tables for dining in. The food was AMAZING! I got the mixed chicken plate. I could taste the charbroil grilled flavor. It was so robust. The lightly drenched lemon herb dressing over the salad was also tasty. I didn't care for the white sauce. It taste like a peanut butter smoothie. Finally to the service. It wasn't bad but I was made to feel a little uneasy and unwelcome. It felt like the cashier was "forcing" himself to be pleasant. I felt a little rushed to place my order. When I asked about certain menu items, he pointed to pictures rather than giving an explanation. Besides that, I wished the combos came with a drink. It was a bit pricey.
