I ordered the beef kebab plate, and the yellow rice was some of the best I've ever had. The charred flavor of the grilled peppers paired perfectly with the tender, perfectly cooked beef.

For years, I've driven past this food truck without realizing what I was missing! I finally tried…read moreit for the first time in January, and I've already been back three times since. My go-to order is the Halal chicken over rice and a side of falafel. The chicken over rice comes with perfectly seasoned chicken, bell peppers, and onions, served on a bed of basmati rice with a salad mix, two pieces of pita bread, and both red and white sauce. The portions are generous, and the price is very reasonable. As for the falafel, it's some of the best I've had in Winston-Salem. It's light, flavorful, and not greasy just the perfect balance. You can order from the truck directly, call ahead, or even use Uber Eats. Personally, I like calling ahead, and the owner is always super friendly! I'll definitely be returning again and again.

As a native New Yorker, this Halal Food Truck is one of my favorite food trucks in the state.

There is a quick turnaround on the order and you can call ahead as well, which is very convenient. There are a variety of authentic dishes ranging from chapli kebab to chicken or lamb over rice. In terms of ambiance there isn't any seating because this is a takeout truck. Not to mention the family is very sweet and accommodating! Just look out for the orange truck!

The gunpowder chicken had a great taste and spice. Followed that with butter chicken and chicken tikka masala. Would have liked a stronger buttery tastes and less red sauce but dish was very tasty.

Don't let the kinda sketchy exterior scare you away; Kapadokia Grill is excellent…read more We started with mezzes: dolma, baba ganoush, and shakshuka. All three were very good. The dolma, stuffed grape leaves, were clearly house made and very fresh. The baba ganoush, grilled eggplant dip, was not as pureed as I typically find but was very tasty. Finally, the shakshuka, a dip made from eggplant, bell peppers, and a tomato sauce, was very good. I usually think of shakshuka as a Moroccan egg and tomato dish that is served hot. This was served cold and did not contain eggs, but was tasty nonetheless. The accompanying pita tasted freshly baked. For our entree, we tried a kofte pita and a donner pita. The bread on both sandwiches was very thin -- closer to what I think of as lavash compared to the pita that came with our mezzes. Both pitas had a generous serving of protein along with tzatziki and fresh veggies. In particular, the kofte was very moist and flavorful, but both were excellent. When you enter the restaurant, you order at the counter. They have a variety of canned and bottled beverages with water available at the dining area. I usually complain about counter service restaurants that expect a tip, but Kapadokia Grill is an exception to the rule. Our mezzes were delivered to the table first, then the pitas followed at an appropriate time afterwards. The server who delivered our meals followed up to make sure everything was good and also offered us complimentary hot tea or coffee. The tea was served in the traditional Turkish tea glass, complete with blue evil eyes. After we finished our meals, our serving trays were cleared. In addition, the owner stopped by to check on us and to chat. All in all, I was very impressed with Kapadokia Grill. Recommended!

I've been thinking about the Iskander Platter from Kapadokia Grill ever since I had it for the…read morefirst time here. So on a whim my husband and I stopped in for lunch. We didn't even need to look at the menu because we both wanted the Iskander Platter. Lucky we came in when we did because we got the last of it. Since having it the first time, I've watched a few recipe videos on how it's made. It's quite a process and takes a while so it's understandable they can't just make more quickly if they run out. This time it had a little different flavor than the last time. It had a saltier flavor and not quite as buttery as I remembered which was disappointing since that was the best part for me. It was still delicious but I was happy for the yogurt that helped cut the saltiness a little. Possibly the sauce became more concentrated since it was the end of the batch they had. I could only finish half because it's such a large portion but my husband finished his. The service was super friendly as always. The owners here are so lovely and always attentive. I will definitely be back again.

This place took me by complete surprise...in an amazing way. I was transported from Greensboro to…read morehalfway around the world for about 45min, and boy was it a great ride! Craving something Mediterranean, something international and authentic. Shish House popped up on my radar and I stopped in for an early weekday lunch. They have the usual and traditional Mediterranean dishes, but I wanted something different today. Went with some authentic Yemeni food. I ordered the Fahsah Lehm. This is a Saltah (traditional Yemeni stew) with melt in your mouth lamb that came out piping hot and bubbling in a clay bowl (see vid). You can feel, hear, smell and taste the authenticity in this dish. Spices and flavors flowing all over. It comes out with an amazing garlic sauce and a Yemeni style green sauce, almost like a salsa. And if that wasn't enough, you get the biggest clay oven bread (a Yemeni Malawah) you have ever seen. Words don't do it justice, see pics for details. This is honestly the perfect edible shovel. Tear some off, scoop up some bubbling lamb and spices, then drag it through the garlic and green sauce. Get messy...flavor the authenticity this dish explodes with. One of the best international experiences which transports you somewhere else. And it's just a small unassuming spot in the international corridor on Market St by Super G Mart. ***PLACES LIKE THIS DEFINE MY LOVE FOR FOOD, AND WHAT MORE FOOD CAN DO THAN JUST SATIATE HUNGER.

We walked in mid-day and were a little confused if we should sit ourselves or where to go. A lady…read morestood up from behind the counter and pointed to a table where we could sit. The menu is not too complicated. I ordered the chicken Sambosa. I think I would prefer if it was a vegetable Sambosa. I also ordered the lamb shawarma. It wasn't bad. I tasted my friend's hummus and tabbouleh. Both were good. The service was just ok. Our waitress dropped our drinks and food off and left us alone. The food wasn't bad. I think I would come again if I'm in the area. The mint lemonade was delicious. There isn't much to the decor or ambiance.

It was our first time visiting, and despite it being a small restaurant, it really wowed us. The menu featured several items we had never tried before, and the food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the Sultan's platter, which included a lamb skewer, an Adana kebab, and gyro meat. I don't think I've ever had lamb as tender and tasty; the Adana kebab had a very pleasant spice to it, and the gyro meat was incredibly flavorful, moist, and juicy. We also enjoyed the garden salad and tabouleh as side dishes. Our absolute favorite was the Beef Pide (Turkish pizza). It consisted of spicy ground beef with onions, tomatoes, peppers, and parsley, served in a crispy, boat-shaped fresh dough. It was truly fabulous. Our server made us feel like family. We will definitely be coming here again soon. Excellent casual dining experience. I do wish I'd take pictures. Next time.

Where else can you get a salad with pasta salad, piyaz, and grape leaves in it? Talk about so many Mediterranean flavors in one bowl! Our server was great; she was very attentive, checking in on us and refilling our waters when needed. Our food came out quickly, and it was fresh and delicious. My spouse ordered the Duram Adana, which was full of flavor, and was definitely spicy. Our only critique was that it came with a bag of chips, though you can get a different side for an upcharge. We shared the Mixed Appetizer plate, which came with hummus, baba ganoush, piyaz, grape leaves, and fresh pita. The baba ganoush was beautifully smoky, and the pita was pillow-y soft. Whether you're looking for a quick lunch spot, or a cute place for date night, be sure to check out Sumela for a great, local place.
