Celebrated the last kid obtaining their drivers license, sigh, where does the time go!?…read more New restaurant to us, but we wanted Mediterranean near to the DMV. Glad we went. Restaurant was clean, white table cloths, older decor and booths, but cute. Place was full of two large family groups celebrating the holidays together. Bathroom could use a better cleaning and update. We decided to get a small appetizer plate: Humus, Baba Ghanhuj, Falafel, Labneh, we opted for no grape leaves as we don't prefer them and got extra falafel instead. Portion was great. Our favorites were the Labneh absolutely delicious and perfect taste and texture, humus was seasoned perfectly and falafel was good, but I can't say it was amazing though, something was missing in taste to me. We also ordered the mixed meat entree, portion was large, no way I could have eaten it alone! We shared and still had left overs. The entree came with Kufta Kabob, beef shawarma, chicken kabobs, beef shish kabob, tzatziki, fattoush salad, pita, basmati rice. We had wanted a side of extra tzatziki but instead received a large side dish of tzatziki (we let it go, but neither of us truly enjoyed the tzatziki that much. It was bland to our liking). The one thing we absolutely did not like was the bland, no dressing fattoush salad. It literally had no dressing, no taste, not recommended at all, as the side. So here's what we did like a lot was the chicken kabobs, beef shawarma, basmati rice, beef shish kebabs, kufta kabobs, humus, and loved the Labneh on and with everything. The chicken kabobs were our favorite meat, tender, juicy, seasoned perfectly! We truly enjoyed and savored the Pistachio Baklava, so yummy for dessert! Overall we gave the place a 4 out of 5. We enjoyed our food, service was attentive and friendly. We had to downgrade from a 5 because we did not like the no dressing fattoush salad and the tzatziki tasted bland to us (we are used to the more Greek style). We will be back to try some other dishes!

We visited on a Saturday around 5:30 PM. At first, I was a little nervous since the place was…read morecompletely empty--but I quickly noticed a steady stream of pickup orders, which reassured me that this spot is loved by locals. The décor is small and notably simple, but the food is what truly stands out. Everything was hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The prices were very reasonable for the quality and portions. We ordered a mixed platter and the hummus with shawarma--both were fantastic. The meat was flavorful, and the hummus was smooth and rich. Definitely a place we'd return to for a casual, satisfying meal.

Based on yelp reviews I found Al-Sham Palace. We stopped for a late lunch /early dinner. It was…read moreempty except someone waiting for a carry out. We were greeted by a very nice young lady but she seemed surprised and somewhat taken back that we were there. She brought menus and asked for a beverage order. A coke and Diet Coke became an unknown brand in a small can served without ice. We ordered swarma sandwiches with fries and the beverage for an additional $3.50. When the orders arrived they were warm and very flavorful. We were still the only guests. Every table featured a Muslim table decoration that really made no difference to us but eventually we began to feel like we were strangers there. We noticed there were other folks in the kitchen and the waitress was not actually preparing our food. It was tasty and was spiced a little different than I have had before. The waitress brought our check on a portable card reader and I left our usual tip. We both felt a little out of place. The Yelp reviews were very positive but based on my search for middle eastern food in an area we have never been to, I was hoping for a more traditional food and service.

In fact, before the end of our trip we went back to get some more dips. They were that good. We went here for dinner on a Sunday evening and it was pretty quiet, there were a few people but not a ton. There's indoor and outdoor seating, and it was nice out so we sat outside. That being said, you should at least pop your head inside, the decor is beautiful! For 4 people we ordered the mixed appetizer, lavos, 1 spinach pide, and 1 mozz pide. We also got 2 salgams and they split it into 4 cups for us. This was far too much food for us, all of us overate. Honestly I think we were fine with just the mixed appetizer and the lavos. That being said, know the portions are LARGE. The mozz pide itself needed pepper flakes (which they had so we added) or some sauce or something. It's kinda like cheesy bread, I don't think I'd get it again. The spinach pide however was so good! We got it with the feta cheese and it was so soft and fresh. The mixed appetizer was SO good and I highly recommend it, especially if you're in the bind we were (couldnt decide what dip to get). Theres 5 dips that come in it- Ezme, hummus, tabouli, baba ganoush and cacik. The ezme was my personal favorite- so full of flavor. The garlic really made it pop! The hummus was also really good, definitely one of the best ones I've had! Very creamy and fluffy. The tabouli honestly wasn't super memorable. Not that it was bad- it was good, but compared to the others it just...lacked. The baba ganoush was AMAZING! I've never had one like it before and I liked it so much that I'm attempting to recreate it at home. The baba ganoush is a must try. The cacik was also really good but it's not a thick dip, you could almost just use it as a drizzle. Overall I'd recommend checking out Istanbul grill. The food is phenomenal!

I was seriously craving chicken kebabs, so I ended up checking out this local Mediterranean spot. I…read morewent with the Shish Tawook two grilled chicken skewers that come with your choice of sides. I picked the hummus and salad, both of which were super light and refreshing. The only miss for me was the raw white part of the green onions in the salad, they were a bit too chunky for my taste. The chicken, though? Perfectly grilled...crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. It came with a tzatziki sauce that was more on the liquidy side, which isn't my favorite texture, so I just used it as a dip for the chicken and hummus. Heads-up: the menu on their official site isn't updated, but if you Google "Tasty Mediterranean," it shows accurate prices and lets you order online. It came out to $17.99 plus tax , which is a little pricey for lunch, but the portions were solid and the staff were super friendly so no complaints there!
