    AMAZING!! so happy to have found this spot would've been in a food hall, Garage. We ordered the Top Sirloin Picanha and W O W, we asked for it to be medium rare and it was cooked to perfection. The portion was quite large and the steak sat on a bed of fries, so definitely very filling. The chimichurri sauce paired so well with the dish. The pickle threw me off a bit, but I will say that it added crunch and acidity to cut through the grease. If you're at Garage, this is a must try!

    I initially stopped by The Garage for ice cream, but once I got there, I decided to try some actual food instead. I was a bit skeptical about ordering steak from a small store, but I'm so glad I did. I ordered the well-done steak and fries, and it came out exactly how I wanted: perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Even though the place was packed, the service was still friendly and efficient. I'll definitely be going back to try the sirloin steak and fries next time. The store looked small but their service was swift.

    This is a great place at the Bottleworks garage. It's a Brazilian restaurant. I got the Brazilian sausage and rice with a soda from Colombia called Colombiana. The Colombiana caught my eye, because I love it and it rare in America. The food is delicious too. This came with fried and they were PERFECT. Crispy on the outside, but light and fluffy on the inside. The rice and sausage was good too. Very flavorful with some light spice. The cashier was very friendly and the service was decently quick for how busy Bottleworks is. As always the Bottleworks garage is so beautiful. Plenty of room for large or small groups, and so many options. DEFINITELY try this restaurant out. If anything for the Colombiana soda! It's so good, but so hard to find.

    The shrimp close up...sooo good

    You haven't been to the garage I recommend it. It's really cool here! We decided to try this restaurant out of about a dozen to choose from. The shrimp was really good it has so much marinade that it was orange all the way through. He had sort of a barbecue sauce on it that was a little sweet and was amazing with the chimichurri sauce. The garlic bread was pretty good but there were a couple pieces that weren't really done related to how they cook them on a skewer. My friend said that her steak was good. She thought the chimichurri sauce was good but she makes her own and says that she would have added more garlic and red chili flakes. Overall, it was good and I would do it again. But I probably want to try a few other places in here before I did since there's so much to choose from. The service was friendly and fast and we didn't have to wait very long for our food.

    Cheese bread

    Delicious cheese bread! I haven't tried anything else yet, I will next time. The weight staff was very friendly and answered questions. Cute little shop, very neat and tidy and part of the garage community.

    Linguica & rice

    My son got the linguica & rice, flavor great but rice could be cooked longer. If you're gonna pay $15 for a sandwich though, this is where I'd do it. Flavor is phenomenal and my 3 entrees came out in less than 10mins. I will say I would be ok waiting an extra few minutes for toasted bread vs the slightly above room temp that came with my sandwich alas, I ate the whole thing so... anyways, pics attached.

    Really great food, all the food are made to order so you have to expect some wait to get your food, I love that The steak were delicious but I didn't like the fries they were a little bit too oily/greasy/soggy for me I'm not sure if it's because the steak were on top, if I had know I would have ask them to separate the steak from it But overall but steak was good

    I was so excited to try this place because I saw so many delish options on the menu. Alas my disappointment... For one the person behind the counter was quite rude, so sorry to interrupt you phone play, my apologies. I ordered the shrimp skewer and while it looked phenomenal, they shrimp were so bland it was heart-breaking. Yes, I got the sweet chili sauce with it and the sauce was on fire, still I maintain that the main food item should have it's own taste. The fries were good, the coated variety. I also ordered the grilled pineapple, which was geberously covered in cinnamon, but I don't think it was on the grill for more than a hot moment. It had no grill marks, but more importantly it was cold. Hmmm, I love pineapple fresh off the grill, but this was not it. I don't know if they pre-grill it, but that defeats the purpose. I am not really sure if this deserves even 3 starts since everythin was meh aside from the fries.

    Bacon wrapped chicken and garlic mashed potatoes

    One of our new favorite places in the garage food hall! The garlic beef has been our absolute favorite menu item so far. Tender, juicy and full of garlic flavor. The owner (I think it's the owner) is always friendly.

    Veggie fries
    Rachel S.

    I really enjoyed the veggie fries!! It was grilled green beans, peppers, broccoli, and carrot coins on top of super crispy fries with honey mustard and balsamic sauce and it was a great combination and very creative!

    This was my first time trying Turkish coffee, and I absolutely loved it! For other first-time…read morevisitors, I recommend letting the coffee sit for about 30 seconds before taking a sip so the fine grounds can settle to the bottom. Also, don't stir it after it's served, as that will bring the grounds back up into the coffee. Be sure to leave the last sip or two in the cup, since that's where the grounds collect. The coffee itself was excellent, but I would recommend that servers explain these details to first-time customers or at least ask whether they've had Turkish coffee before. A little guidance would make the experience even better for newcomers. We also ordered the hummus as an appetizer, and it was fantastic. The naan was served warm, and the hummus tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. It was the perfect way to start the meal. We also ordered The Bosphorus Special, a mixed grill platter featuring doner, kofte, chicken kebab, beef kebab, Adana kebab, and chicken Adana kebab, served with vegetables and white rice. Everything was absolutely delicious. The meats were cooked perfectly, tender, and packed with flavor. I'm so glad my significant other and I decided to share this entrée because the portion was very generous, and we still had plenty of leftovers to take home. While the service could have been a bit more attentive, it did not negatively impact our overall experience. After our food was served, our waitress did not check back to see how everything was or whether we needed anything additional. We also ended up with quite a few leftovers and requested to-go containers. Initially, only one small container was brought to the table, which required two additional follow-ups before we received enough containers for the remaining food. One suggestion I would offer is that, for tables ordering larger meals, it may be helpful for servers to proactively offer to box up leftovers as dishes are cleared. For just two people, our table became overcrowded rather quickly, especially with the generous portions. Since our waitress did not return after the food was served, it made managing the table and leftovers a little challenging. That said, we had a wonderful first experience overall. The food was outstanding, the portions were generous, and we look forward to coming back again in the future.

Both were delicious and well portioned. The guvec (veggie casserole) had eggplant, mushrooms, peppers, carrots, and other veggies plus rice and a small salad. The delight had carrots, eggplant, tomatoes, mushrooms, peppers, served on top of hummus and walnuts. The food was delivered quickly given the restaurant was full on a Friday night. Good thing we made reservations, which we will do again when we return.

I called ahead and ordered: 2 kebab sandwiches 2 falafel sandwiches 2 kibbeh orders baba ghanoush fattoush salad The employee on the phone told me the order would be ready in 20 minutes. When I arrived, I was told it would actually be another 17 minutes. I waited in my car, came back after that time passed, and then was told "maybe 13 more minutes." The biggest issue was not just the wait -- it was the lack of honesty and time management. If the restaurant had simply said from the beginning that they were behind and needed closer to an hour, I would have understood. What frustrates customers is being repeatedly given inaccurate wait times. People plan their schedules, families, and evenings around the times restaurants provide. After waiting inside, sitting directly in front of the counter, I watched the cook START preparing parts of my order almost an hour after I originally placed it. Items like the baba ghanoush, salad, and kibbeh -- foods that are usually already prepared -- were only assembled then. Meanwhile, customers who arrived after me and ordered at the restaurant were served before my takeout order was completed. Unfortunately, the food quality also suffered from the long delay: The sandwiches were soggy The salad had water pooled at the bottom and no dressing The kibbeh was soaked in grease For the amount paid, I expected much better service, communication, and food quality. A simple apology and realistic timing would have made a huge difference.

Not tooting my own horn, just saying I've been exposed to tons of food I wouldn't have otherwise. This place is phenomenal. Excellent service, kind folks, and just absolutely wonderful food. I've had probably half the menu, and it's all amazing. Can't recommend this place enough. The prices are also phenomenal. You can't go wrong! The prices are great for what you get. Portions are fantastic. All the curries are phenomenal. I recommend trying something aside from the typical tikka masala or butter chicken, if that's all you've had as far as curries go, unless you want to give them a try on a pizza. The Chicken Karahi is something to behold. The saag of any type are amazing. But what I can't get enough of is the Chicken Doner/Shawarma, it's like shawarma if shawarma was made with chicken tandoori. Fantastic. The lamb doner is wonderful too, after all it's the namesake! Their Naan bread is fantastic too. You really can't go wrong. This place even turned my 70 year old father, who's not super quick to try new things, into an Indian food fanatic! If I could give them 10 stars out of 5, I would in a heartbeat.

I was very…read moresurprised by how amazing the food was and have ordered from them many times since my first order. It had been a while since I last ordered, and today I was craving chicken tikka masala. I placed my usual order, and saying I was disappointed would be an understatement. Look at the salad photo I attached and compare it to the photo on the menu. They are not even close to being the same, and what I received was quite disgusting. The plain naan bread was unusually greasy. After being disappointed by the salad and bread, I do not know why I was surprised when the main dish was lacking as well and tasted nothing like my previous orders. DoorDash still lists the restaurant as Spicy Doner, but Yelp now shows the restaurant name as Punjabi. I can only assume the restaurant is under new management due to the name change and the dramatic decline in quality. Hopefully, I can find an alternative restaurant soon because I will not be ordering from here again.

Same great staff, same cool space, same open kitchen where a party of one like me can grab a counter seat and watch the chefs do their thing. I've honestly always enjoyed that part of the experience. Today I had the avocado toast with feta and an egg on top, and it totally hit the spot. Earlier this week I tried one of the newer menu items -- fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, plus a sample of jalapeño cornbread and Asian slaw. Incredible comfort food. And as someone who normally isn't much of a slaw person, I was surprised by how much I loved it. They also tried to tempt me with the roast beef special, which honestly looked great, but at 10:30 in the morning I just couldn't fully commit to roast beef yet. Maybe next time. The new name is a nice tribute to the owner's mother, Arleen, but thankfully it still feels like the Milktooth so many of us have come to enjoy over the years. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been in awhile.
