It's all the way on the other side of town for me but was worth the drive ! The owner here is actually from Egypt so that made it even better . I ordered the ginger chamomile tea , lentil soup and their speciality salad . My friend ordered the chicken shawarma . Neither of us had any complaints about the food it was pretty much everything I expected . For those that are hookah lovers they have a built on closed section on the side where you can go and enjoy shish-a . I'll definitely come back and explore the menu more .

The kabobs are perfectly seasoned and cooked, the rice is amazing, and the portions are generous enough that you definitely won't leave hungry. The lentil soup and garlic sauce are must-tries. Service is friendly and welcoming, and the whole place has that comforting, no-frills vibe where the food speaks for itself. Whether you're dining in or taking it to go, it always hits the spot. If you're craving authentic, satisfying Mediterranean food, this place is a gem. Highly recommend.

Visited this place recently and had a really warm welcome, starting right from the tea they served…read morewhen we sat down. They have a huge menu with plenty of options, and everything we tried tasted great. It's primarily a restaurant, but you can also buy packed food items which is a nice bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed the food here. They served generous portions of babaganoush and hummus -- both were delicious. They also gave us complimentary lentil soup, and it was surprisingly good. For entrees, we ordered the lamb shank, which was juicy, tender, and absolutely amazing. The adana kabab was top notch with incredible flavor. The chicken shawarma and chicken kabab could have been a bit more tender, but still enjoyable overall. They also have a large selection of desserts on the menu, so definitely save some room if you can. Overall, we had a great experience at La Shish Kabob -- warm hospitality, big portions, and flavorful food. Would definitely go back!

However, the selection is really nice and this is the closest Middle Eastern market in the area. If you stop mindfully, you could have a good experience.

Stopped in for dinner as I was in town on business and it was super close to my hotel. I had the…read moregrilled chicken plate and it came with two sides. I elected the fresh veggies(squash, carrots and broccoli) and fries. It was a little weird that my fries were served to me within minutes of placing my order. They were hot and seasoned well. By the time my chicken meal came the fries were gone. I was not sad as I was hungry but it was a little strange to me. The chicken was a good portion and great flavor. It was also served with a dipping sauce that resembled taziki sauce but not sure it was. Regardless it was tasty. This is a place I would go to again. They had a decent crowd as there was a buffet available if one chose. I stuck to the menu and stayed clear of the buffet. First time in NC but I was introduced to a "dine in" fee. It is not a tip but for the privilege of eating at the restaurant. It was 10%. I have never heard of this in Texas.

Large space than I expected, there are plenty of indoor and outdoor seats, and the staff are very nice but the it's not somewhere you would go if you're in a rush. The staff did take time to attend to me to take my order, bring my check, etc. I probably could have gone to the front counter to request someone quicker. They were busy with both dine-in and takeout orders. The salad was a great portion and for a little extra they added feta cheese to it for me. There is a 10% service charge for dining in (don't worry I added an additional 10%!)

I had one of the worst experiences I've ever had at this lounge last night. Without any real…read moreexplanation or attempt to de-escalate the situation, three security guards physically grabbed and dragged me out of the venue. It was completely unnecessary, aggressive, and honestly humiliating. During the incident one of the guards had his arm around my neck to the point where I couldn't breathe and my necklace was ripped off in the process. At no point did anyone try to calmly speak to me or explain what the issue was. Being handled by multiple security guards like that felt excessive and unprofessional, especially in a place that's supposed to be about having a good time. Instead of basic communication, the situation immediately escalated to physical force. I would strongly caution anyone thinking about going here. A night out shouldn't end with you being physically dragged out by security with no explanation. There are plenty of lounges in the city that treat their guests with far more respect.

The kids meal has changed recently in terms of what is included but I'm still pleased with the option (as an adult). I got the lentils (they can be a little hard sometimes but this time they were nice and had a bite but weren't hard), hummus, I picked pita chips over the quarter pita) protein choice was chicken with cucumbers and roasted corn and garlic sauce on top. This used to be a half pita with choice of pita chips or carrots which I miss a little bit will still continue to get when I'm not super hungry. This location was friendly, quick and everything tasted fresh. Sorry I didn't snap a picture, I was too excited for the first, second and third bites.

Cocktails were great and desserts were generously proportioned....everything was good and service was great. This seems to be predominantly a hookah place as most of the tables had shisha but I was happy to note that the smell wasn't overwhelming and the ventilation was on point. Sometimes at hookah places, my eyes start to itch and my clothes smell when I leave but not here, so I thought that was great. I think this place becomes more of a scene when it gets later (the bouncer was ready to bounce as we were leaving) but if you come early, it's a relaxed and fun environment.

The menu is pretty simple and easy to follow. We ordered Chicken Shawarma on rice, Veggie Shawarma over rice, Spicy Chicken pita with hummus, and Mixed Shawarma over rice.
