What a great spot with plenty of seating, friendly staff and delicious eats!…read more I stopped in on a weeknight to meet a friend for dinner. The cashier explained everything they offer and gave me a printed menu to look over before my friend arrived. I couldn't believe how much seating they have. Tons of tables to choose from! When my friend arrived, we ordered the hummus appetizer and she got an iced latte while I decided on the strawberry matcha without added sweetener. For my meal, I got the grilled shrimp pita wrap and my friend got a build your own bowl, which she loaded with chicken and fresh vegetables. My wrap was great and had a nice flavorful sauce in it. I also love the variety of toppings they offer - there's truly something for everyone. The strawberry matcha was great too and I love how good it was without adding sweetener to the strawberry sauce. My friend really enjoyed her latte too. Overall, it was an awesome experience! I've driven by this place for a while and I'm so glad I finally stopped in. I've been missing out and if you haven't been there, I suggest you go ASAP!

I was unsure at first, when I walked in here in the late afternoon. It was empty but then again it…read morewasn't lunch time and it was a bit early for dinner. I was excited to try their Mediterranean and Afghan cuisine based on so many good reviews that were posted. The place was cozy but clean and I was greeted immediately as I approached the counter area. It took a few minutes to look over their meal options and my questions were answered completely. I decided to dine in and ordered a strawberry refresher, a pistachio matcha and several soft drinks. Then, a badenjen (eggplant) appetizer that came with naan. A lamb kebab wrap, a Zafire (spicy) burger meal with fries, a chicken kebab bowl as well as a barg kebab (steak) bowl. I especially loved the choices I was given for toppings for the bowls. To name a few, there was hummus, baba ghanoush (eggplant tahini spread) various sauces, olives, cucumbers, pickled onions, beets and more. I was also able to ask for extra on the toppings that I really liked too. Everything that I had, tasted fresh and was made to order. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a tasty quality meal that's well balanced and healthy. I will be back again soon, as this is definitely a place that I would go to regularly.

I knew there was a kitchen, but if you didn't know, Bespoke is there waiting for your order. Bonus, today was there was a craft fair going on. Two fun things. Ordered Garlic shrimp which had garlic, onions, peppers and small hot peppers. Chef even inquired how spicy I'd like it. Nice! SO had the oxtail stew. Both were accompanied by 2 sides. I ordered the cabbage (nicely sautéed with onions) and the Mac and Cheese (delightful). SO got plaintains and the cabbage. A lot of food in an 8x8 recyclable container filled to the brim. Parking off street. Friendly people. Great food. This will need to be revisited since there is more on the menu to eat.

The Seasoning House is decorated beautifully. It has a warm welcoming vibe and authentic art on its walls. One friend dined on the vegetable soup served with a yam, one friend dined on the okra soup that was served with a yam and I decided to have the grilled lamb with jolloh rice. Our meals were absolutely delicious! Each dish was exactly as the menu described: a hearty portion, well seasoned and perfectly prepared. I believe the person who served us was the owner and prepared our food. She was attentive, gracious and friendly. We truly enjoyed having lunch at The Seasoning House.

This is one of the best Shalimar locations in the area and the closest to my house. The food is…read morealways hot, quick, and tastes great. The chicken tikka masala is nice and creamy and doesn't have a strong tomato taste like some places, which I appreciate. Everyone that works there is super nice. I think the portions seem a little smaller than full serve places but the size is still adequate and the prices are relative.

For what is essentially an enhanced food court experience, you get a pretty tasty meal here,…read moreeverything comes out quickly, and the owner takes very good care of you. The menu is pretty extensive for the seemingly small kitchen space you can see behind the counter. My vegetable samosas (2) were piping hot and had a decent amount of "not potato" in them, accompanied by 2 sauces. The Chicken Tikka Masala Bowl includes a generous amount of well-prepared rice. Normally I pass on rice except as a vehicle for sauce, but I finished this. The sauce had a reasonably deep red color and an enjoyable spicy flavor, maybe a little less tomato flavor than I've had elsewhere, but still quite good. Naan, wrapped in foil, is fresh and hot, but not necessarily crisp. Flavored naans will have the flavors as a stuffing. My mango lassi was excellent - I almost wanted to steal a larger milkshake cup from nearby Herbie's and ask for that to be filled up instead. All in all, if you are looking for an Indian meal while at Galleria 7, you will be very satisfied here.

Of course in Tru me fashion I ordered right at 2:10 when they close at three, they still took my order even though they were completely dead. And made one of the most delicious meals. I think I've ever had in my life. And I am an absolute snob when it comes to flavor and food. I ordered the chicken kebab which came with rice and veggies, as well as the tzatziki dip and hummus. The chicken was seasoned to absolute perfection and not only was this food so good. The vegetables were incredible. I've never tasted a vegetable and immediately thought this taste better than the chicken, but that is absolutely what happened here. The tzatziki dip was out of this world and the kindness of the gentleman who helped me was the cherry on top! I highly recommend that you run. Do not walk to this establishment. It is going to change your life. I cannot wait to have this again and again. I also started eating my food immediately because it smelled so good so sorry for ugly pictures. This restaurant should have a line waiting out the door.
