    Food was interesting and flavorful. Very enjoyable. Service was good and our waiter even provided live guitar and singing! I enjoyed the hardwood doors and marble & granite pieces bar. Will be returning.

    The best kabob I've had in a long time. The quality of the meat is amazing. They hand cut the filet for the Barg and it melts in your mouth. The rice, the bread, the yogurt were all so good. The silver authentic plates are a nice touch. The owner was so kind. We will definitely be coming back.

    The beautiful German/Bavarian wall script and masonry of the brickwork inside the building only is worth the trip to this place . Now on to the food: they serve halal Iranian and Turkish dishes. Mainly lamb, beef and chicken kabobs. What sets them apart from other places is they use fresh meat and spices vs pre packaged kabobs. The food may be kind of pricey to some. However, the portions you get as well as the taste are well worth the price you pay. Definitely checked them out!

    The kebabs were delicious. (A blend of ground beef and lamb.) The rice was fantastic. The tomato and cucumber salad was fresh and flavorful. A little pricey, $30, but.......

    Incredible. Went there with a large group and got the biggest combo platter. Everything was amazing. Unbelievable flavors. Very friendly service. Very reasonable $$. 7 of us ate and were stuffed. Will absolutely be returning. Don't miss this one folks. One of the best meals I've ever had.

    2 People Dish Combo

    Perfect spot for comfort food! Everything came out fresh and hot. The server recommended the 2-person combo, and I added a side of lamb chops--such a great choice. The meat was well-marinated, and the portions were generous. The combo also came with pickled veggies and a salad, which tied everything together perfectly. I visited during a quieter time, so the vibe was super relaxed, and the server made sure we were well taken care of. Definitely solid!

    Truly a hidden gem found in an unsuspecting area. The food here was delicious; their meats, incredibly juicy and flavorful. The group deals are definitely worth the value for what you get, so bringing a crowd is recommended. Favorite dishes: Kabob koobideh, sheeshlik (lamb chops)

    We went here for lunch and we ordered the two people combo since it is just the two of us, my boyfriend and I. The food is good. I like the beef. I wish the rice would have more flavors or spices. The service is not what I expected. Having someone one or two years older than my kids asking me what I want to eat is different to say the least. Therefore as expected, no checking to see if you like the food or needed anything else. Which was fine, because I do not expect my kids at their age to know to do that. My boyfriend still gave 37% tip because they are just kids.

    masto khiar

    The koobideh kabob (included in the soltani kabob combo) was fantastic. It literally melts in your mouth. Both kabobs are on skewers when they arrive at your table and are pulled of the skewer by gloved hands. They are piping hot upon tableside delivery! The masto khiar is so cool and refreshing and well seasoned. I highly recommend both dishes. The gentleman at the bar when we came in was super friendly and adored children. He was enamored with our 6 month old and grabbed his guitar to play her some songs. It was so sweet. You can tell the people that own this business are super nice and their food is fire as hell to boot. It is a toss up between this place and Royal Kebab for who has the best kabobs in the city, but they both blow Majeed out of the water. I, for one, will be supporting this area business quite often. I suggest you do too!

    Good gooooodd fooooood!!! Went w a party of 7 and got two 3-person combos and it was the right amount of food. The half chicken kebab was my favorite (5/5) but I also loved the other chicken kebab and the beef kebab. The stews that came with the combo were fire, my fav was the gormeh sabzi. Loved all of the veggies that came w/ the platter - onions, cabbage, jalepenos, banana peppers, roasted tomatoes (which were fire!) - they were so fresh! Definitely recommend! Ambience was okay - wish there was some music to add to the vibe of the restaurant, but otherwise had a good time! Would come back to try more of their kebabs

    The meat here is incredible! I've had a ton of Iranian food from a variety of places but this is the first place I've tried in St. Louis and I don't think I need to try any others! The chicken in particular was so so juicy and cooked perfectly. The koobideh was delicious and also cooked perfectly. All the staff was super nice but you'll need to wave them down to order and get the check and what not. Still giving 5 stars though because of how personable they were!! This place is super casual and there is lots of seating available. Seems like it would be accommodating for larger groups! The platters for sure are!! Also this place is halal which is an added bonus :)

    What a gem! Delicious food beautifully presented. The owner was very nice and friendly. He gave good recommendations as we were unable to make decisions since everything look so good. Street parking only.

We ordered The Original Palestine and Summer in Dubai. Usually, shawarma meat is sliced thin and practically melts in your mouth, but here it was on the dry side and cut into pretty thick pieces. The flavor was just okay, but honestly, neither of us was impressed. The portions also felt way too small for the price. We ordered just two shawarmas and paid around $40 total, so we definitely expected more. You can only sit inside. There are no outdoor tables like you can see in some of the other reviews. The atmosphere itself felt more like a typical fast-food spot than a place where you'd want to sit and enjoy your meal. One thing that really surprised me was the soda situation. I grabbed a cup to get myself a drink, and an employee had to turn a key to activate the drink machine while I was standing there. It honestly felt like there was some kind of limit on how many drinks I was allowed to get, which was pretty strange. Parking is also difficult. There's no parking along the main street, so we had to park farther away and walk. Overall, based on our experience, I wouldn't recommend this place. There are plenty of other spots where we've had much better shawarma for the price.

    What a find this was!…read more See pictures for the interior feel of the place. That's the only down side. Small place, feels more like a place to order take out. Not really conducive to eat in, it's not a totally comfortable vibe. But we did! As well as a few other people that came at the same time. The service was great! Server guy, I'm not sure what to call him, was extremely attentive, personable and did pretty much all the running around while we were there. He handled all the tables, handled the people picking up food for take out, and did it all smoothly. The food really was amazing. Again, see the pictures I posted. We over ordered, on purpose, to try a little of a lot of things. The corn soup was different, but good. Seems to be a mix of a few cans of cream corn, broth, and a few chicken bits (if you ordered chicken). We found it pleasant. The fried spinach was amazing. The yellow curry was amazing. The Mongolian beef was amazing. Thank you for the rice, there was quite a bit of it and the fried shrimp (I forget the official name...fried shrimp?) off the appetizer menu) was AMAZING. We will definitely go back. Even if it's just take out. I must say....we took the left overs home and they made the trip just fine and were still good as left overs. Highly recommend. Let me know what you think, leave a compliment give me a "helpful" so I know you liked it!

As unique as this stand was compared to the other food stands I knew I had to check it out since I had never tried or even heard of Uygher cuisine a day in my life.

Apparently, they are the only Halal Chinese restaurant in STL! We started off with pumpkin sambosas: deep fried triangles filled with beef and pumpkin, dusted with powdered sugar. A good mixture of savory and sweet. Then we had to try their yellow hand-pulled noodles and they did not disappoint! I loved the bouncy texture of the noodles. The thick sauce had notes of spice and was slightly unbalanced but still yummy. It was perfect to sop up with their soft fluffy naan. Lastly, we got the sautéed mala chicken which was a massive portion for $26 - by itself, it could probably feed 3-4 people! It was truly mala (spicy and numbing) with generous Sichuan peppercorns. The chicken was flavorful, though slightly tough. This dish would've gone well with the yogurt drink. Overall, this was a great dinner for 2 people with leftovers. I'd like to try one of their lamb dishes next time. You should definitely give them a try!
