My partner ordered the Vaziri which he said was amazing. The rice here is spectacular. We finished our meal with hot tea. We arrived a little early for dinner and the place was empty, but it did start to fill up more as it got later. The staff is very kind and the food came out pretty quickly. I will say this is on the pricier side when it comes to kabobs, but everything is very good.

The trick is that the Buffet is only on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 11:30 - 2:45 PM (I know it's a very small window). In St.louis this place is truly my all time number one place to eat (it is considered a hole in the wall gem). Every day of the week the menu changes. The price is ridiculous fair so I tip very well to keep these guys in business and I have been eating here since 2016. I ask fellow reviewers who are in the food scene to check them out and write a review to keep them in business.

We've probably tried too much Middle Eastern food - and especially too much shawarma - because…read moreunfortunately, this just wasn't the place for us. 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.

The atmosphere is nice, with warm lighting, a decent amount of seating, and a Coke Freestyle Machine. You can see into the kitchen which also looks super clean. The service was helpful and polite. The food was a little pricey ($45 for 2 people), but nothing egregious. The chicken sandwich (Called "The Burger") was absolutely delicious. I don't know what they do to it, but it was seasoned perfectly. My Mom got the Carne Burger with fries and it was delicious. The beef was so flavorful and the fries paired well with their house-made spicy ranch, and spicy mayo. We would happily return!! Note: This place does run spicy -- even mild is quite spicy compared to mild at other restaurants.

The baba wasn't too lemony with rich smokiness, and the hummus was perfectly creamy with an excellent balance of tahini. (Been hooked on Oasis Hummus from back home, and am proud to report that Milano's holds its own!) We picked up our order since there is limited outdoor seating, and it was a very courteous and kind transaction! Easy street parking, so perfect for takeout.

I liked the burger but I loved the laghman even more, and both of our yogurt drink tasted really good! They offer a variety of spicy and non-spicy dishes as well as halal, vegetarian, and gluten free meals (their menu has icons by each meal to show which are spicy, gluten free, and vegetarian)

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!
