We had muhummara for an appetizer, which had a distinctly smoky flavor--the bell peppers were clearly grilled--and very fresh, warm pita for dipping. My sister's main course was butter chicken--so rich--and I had kebab style chicken (shish-tawook?) served on naan, with a side of lemon-parsley herbs and the most AMAZING FRIES I HAVE EVER EATEN. Dipping sauces included garlic mayo and a cucumber yogurt blend. Everything was extremely fresh, the best middle eastern food I have eaten in recent memory. Service was great, but we were there on a slow night. The staff were extremely friendly, but they need more business!

I ordered Chicken Vindaloo with rice. The vindaloo was very good and spicy but not too hot. The portion was large. I took half home for another meal. My wife ordered the Mezza Platter and she enjoyed it. I saw on the menu a drink that I had never heard of, Brazilian Lemonade. I ordered it and it was delicious. It tasted like a liquid key lime pie. Brazilian Lemonade is made with limes, sweetened condensed milk and ice. It was not too sweet and not too tart. I would return here again for a meal.

The guy is so friendly, will help you with your order/figure out what's best for you, and is so speedy it's actually insane. 2) The portions are huge. Where in 2021 can you feed two people (and get cokes) for less then ten bucks and still have leftovers??? It's amazing. Side note: I did try to do two orders and came nowhere close to finishing it hahah so come with a friend or be prepared to have leftovers. 3) THE FOOD. It's amazing. I always get the lamb over rice with the white and red sauce (red is spicy cause I like a little kick). It's phenomenal the rice is cooked to perfection, the lettuce they have is always crisp, and the lamb is always tender and tastes phenomenal. 10/10 you have to go.

Use caution before ordering from this Yelp listing. I placed an online order for delivery from…read moreShaker's Grill because Yelp showed the business as open and accepting orders. My payment was processed, but the food was never delivered. After I couldn't reach anyone who could resolve the problem, I took an Uber from my hotel to the address shown on Yelp. At that location, I found a food truck operating as Halal Sher Gyro. I spoke directly with the man running the truck, who uses the same address and telephone number listed for Shaker's Grill. He told me that he bought Shaker's Grill approximately 11 years ago and that Shaker's Grill no longer exists as a separate business. Despite this, Yelp is still advertising Shaker's Grill as open and allowing customers to place and pay for online orders. In addition to paying for food that was never delivered, I had to pay for an Uber to investigate the situation and am now having to contact multiple parties to recover my money. I'm posting this to caution others: do not order through the Shaker's Grill Yelp listing unless you first confirm directly that the order will actually be prepared and delivered. I had to post a one star so that this could be posted. Just disregard the star for this Shakers Grill because the Shakers Grill does not exist. It is now operated at that address as a food truck under a different name so once again, if you order online through Yelp at Shakers Grill, your food will not show up because there is no shakers's grill at the posted address.

So I decided to try it rather than the usual crap fast food. When I pulled up front, I almost drove away. Don't do it. Trust me. This place is fantastic. Decor, no. But the food is delicious. I now have a new go to when I am passing through this way again. The owner recommended a lamb bone over a bed of delicious Middle Eastern rice with bits of fresh vegetables. And I also added the homemade hummus with pita bread. And my spouse had the borscht which she said was really good. So nice to see a place like this can compete with corporate America. At least judging by all the truckers eating here I assume they do.

She had a nice variety of items from hummus and Lebanese breads to baklava and other treats. On this day we sampled her falafel wrap, as I'm always trying to find the best falafel in central PA (which is quite a challenge). We were very impressed, as Rola's falafel is the best I've had in Pennsylvania! Perfectly seasoned and cooked with the texture I was looking for in my falafel. The white sauce served with the pita wrap was very good and paired nicely with the falafel and a slice of juicy tomato!

We settled on some hummus with fried meat on top and a Sambousek for appetizer. The hummus was lemony and very light and served with pita. The fried meat on top of it added nothing, however. The chicken sambousek was hot and very nice and would have benefitted from some sort of sauce to dip it in. The fatoush salad was ok. I had the msakaah which was a stewy eggplant served next to some dark rice served with a lentil soup. The soup was light and mild and matched the msakaah which was not going to over-spice anyone's palate. The other entree of shish tawook arrived as a ring of grilled chicken kabob chunks surrounding a bed of rice that was topped with zesty summer vegetables. It was a great presentation and was very ample in its portions and the winner of the evening. We were both very full at the end of the meal but life is short and so I ordered some namoura for dessert which was a dense cake, saturated with a honey sauce and topped with a pistachio glaze. It was a great dessert - solid and sweet but not too sweet. The ownership of the restaurant had recently changed hands which accounted for the barebones menu and hopefully that will change with some descriptions and pictures because if one is going to venture into a new cuisine, why not give future diners a 'heads up'?

The service was quick, professional and pleasant another perk that the server was very attentive. The hummus was good but the pita bread seemed hard slightly tough to chew.

I do recommend that you stop-in try for yourself because you will enjoy the entree (main course). The decor of the restaurant went well with Lebanese tradition.
