Some of my group's favorites included the chicken and mushroom stew and the fried eggplant dish. While very flavorful, the meal overall gets oily and dishes like the skewers do add up in price. We ordered a recommended off-menu item for the rack of lamb ribs and were surprised that it was $80. We should've asked for the price first and although it was tasty, I wouldn't feel like I'd be missing out if we didn't order it.

Not only was the color / presentation top notch, but the taste nicely complimented the meat. In addition to our wraps, we opted for the falafel bites. There are 4 generous pieces with a nice portion of hummus in the middle. The spicy sauce has quite the kick! We enjoyed an authentic Turkish lime iced tea drink. Loved selecting from the imported drinks- gives it a foreign and fun feel. My favorite was the ambiance and Turkish music. The booths are set in chic cages and it feels like you have more privacy. The servers also bring the meal to your table- added plus for a mall food establishment. My only critique is the price. It is reasonable, but I expected a larger portion for the price charged. If it was a buck or two cheaper, I think the size of the wrap would match the cost. Because of this, I'd rank it a 4.5 / 5 stars. Overall, wonderful spot. Highly recommend!

I went to Done Right Doner Kebab for lunch on a weekday. The place was nearly empty, which is…read moreeither a warning sign or a blessing, depending on your outlook and your tolerance for gastrointestinal risk. I ordered from a kiosk. It was quick, efficient, and mercifully free of small talk. A machine that doesn't pretend to care about your day is, in many ways, the most honest companion while still lacking the dismissiveness of the Gen Z stare. My sandwich arrived at the table shortly after, delivered by a human who didn't linger. We understood each other. I had the Pink Sultan. Chicken, mixed greens, red cabbage, pickles, and a sauce the color of a polite sunset. I read that the sauce involves beets, which explains both the color palette and the faint suggestion that I was eating something that once grew in dirt and had ambitions. The sandwich was good. Not life changing, not tragic. The chicken was tender enough, the vegetables crisp, the flavors balanced in a way that suggested someone had made decisions and stuck with them. I drank a bottle of Turkish Uludag soda, which tasted like citrus with a hint of optimism. It whispered, "I'm like Fanta, but regional AND foreign, which of course makes me better." The place itself is clean and modern, with that fast casual confidence that says we take our ingredients seriously but not ourselves. They make a point of using fresh components and well seasoned meats that rotate slowly on a spit, absorbing flavor as time passes, much like the rest of us. Everything I ate was pretty good. That is not faint praise. In a world where many meals are often either regrettable or unforgettable, pretty good is a kind of victory. Four stars. The kiosk asked nothing of me, and the food delivered something in return.

When the wife's out, Indian food is in--at least for me…read more Pondering my options on a Saturday night, I of course couldn't say no to the BOGO deal that House of Biryani/Annapoorani had on offer with Doordash for their Biryani. I also threw in an onion salad because you sometimes do need a little something to cut through all that rice. However, my friends, once I placed my order, that is where the good times stopped rolling. I showed up at 8:15 for my 8:20 ETA pickup and was immediately told that was wrong and that they needed another 30 minutes. All in all, it took me 50 minutes to pickup the food from order to when I left the restaurant for a place that is a mile away from my house. Once I came home, now with sky-hunger expectations due to the wait, I was really disappointed. The Shrimp Biryani had a handful of shrimp on top and basically was otherwise a tub of rice. Though the shrimp had flavor, each piece was in varying states of prep with some being cleaned while others had shell or tail or both. I know Biryani is a rice dish but I would of loved to have some other bits and bobs in the Biryani to break up paying basically $20 for some fluffed spiced rice. The onion salad? Let's just say truth in advertising doesn't live here. The menu photo suggested something bright and layered. What I got was $3 worth of plain sliced onions and a lemon wedge. Call it what it is--or better yet, don't bother. Looks like the next time I flying solo, I will be finding some other haunt for some Indian food in Monmouth County.

I've long let go of the ancient proverb about not judging a book by it's over... in this case by the strip shopping center it's located in. Diana, our director of first impressions and food guide for this dining experience was engaging, smiling and truly excited to converse with us about our Eastern European food experiences throughout the Bulstleton Ave-Philly region. We took a walk through discussion across the menu to understand preparations and which dishes were most recommended to keep ups wanting to come back. So many to select from. We did try a few plates to get the full experience. Opened with a bowl of Mastava soup - ground beef, rice, peppers, carrots and onions, delicous. Wish there were closer to home to pick up on cold days... that good. Next we had a plate of 4 manti's - dumplings with beef, lamb and onions (think of wonton dumpling with meat inside, no soup broth- that would be a soup dumpling). Next, we shared a bowl of plov - slow cooked rice, beef, lamb, carrot and onions. This dish I could have weekly it was that DELICIOUS! We did try one beef kabab, so tender and juicy. I also love Bronzino and could not pass it up. Whole bronzino grilled and in place of french fries the chef did me a solid... stewed tomates and grilled peppers to acompany the fish. If only I could do this at home on my grill... will try. Was delicious. We found a new restaurant to add into our rotation. See our food photos attached and follow me on Yelp for more tasty adventures. What a gem. Thank you Diana. BTW... no alchol (no BYOB) allowed. Parking lot. They do accept credit cards but with a small add on processing fee.

We…read moreorder the small manto dumplings, a mixed flat samosa appetizer, and four kebab entrees to share. The dumpling dough were similar in flavor and texture to pelmeni but were flatter like ravioli. They were smothered in sauce. Samosas were thin and crispy. I preferred the manto, but both are good picks depending on what you're looking for. For kebabs, I tried the lamb, ground beef, and chicken. One of the mixed plates also came with a lamb shank. All of the meat was well seasoned and flavorful. Most pieces were juicy. I wouldn't have categorized any bites as dry, but some bites were juicier than others. The entrees were platted over basmati rice with carrots and raisins. They came with a white sauce, a green sauce, and a red sauce. Green and red sauce were mildly spicy. Also some simple salad with the entrees. They have a lot of seating indoors and seemed to be hosting a small party when I arrived for pick up.

We dined in, and the vibe is casual, comfortable, and welcoming. We started with the Bolani and Manto. The Bolani came out hot and crisp with a generous filling. The Manto were tender, well-seasoned, and the sauce complemented the dumplings instead of drowning them. After that we ordered the Badenjan Borani, and it stole the show. The eggplant was silky and deeply smoky, balanced perfectly with sauce and yogurt. We finished it fast, and then ordered another at the end. The chicken and lamb kabab were juicy, flavorful, and grilled right--no dryness, no bitter char. Kabli Palow was also excellent: fragrant basmati rice with carrots and raisins that stayed balanced (not overly sweet), paired with tender lamb. We finished with chai and a smooth, lightly sweet milk-pudding dessert. Portions are big, prices are fair, and the owner and staff are kind and welcoming without hovering. We left full and already planning our next order.

I got two meals out of mine. I got the gyro platter and it probably was one of the tastiest meals I've had in a long time. I thought the chicken was seasoned and flavorful. But by far, the best part was the white sauce. I would pair it with the mango lassi and it was such a great explosion of flavors - both savory and sweet. I will say they ask whether you're okay with onions and raisins in your platter. I liked them but I know raisins might not be what most people prefer to add to their rice. Service was fast. You can either order at the front table or at your seat. They got the food in a reasonable amount of time. The place looks small from the outside, but when you walk in, there's a back room worth of 30 people worth of seating. It's extremely cozy inside. There's also a parking lot right next to the restaurant and also across the street. The lot right next door is kinda small though, so you might need to loop around. Parking shouldn't be a problem and you can get a really good stop if you're lucky.

Chicken tikka was ok. Rice was good, salad was a big soggy and pita could have been bigger considering this is meant to be shareable. Best part was the lamb chop. Wish it had one piece more. All in all it's ok.
