There is very little chance of you leaving this place hungry. I've found the service and staff to be fantastic. Really above and beyond in terms of checking on you and making sure you have everything you need. They have lunch specials, which are great. There is also a small bar section where you can sit and get a beer. They don't appear to have a large selection of beer. And that's fine, it's just nice to have it as an option. And then there are some small, particular details that I appreciate. I tend to drink water when I go out to eat and I love that they have big water cups. I'll continue to dip in for food and suggest you check them out as well.

From the moment we stepped inside we were treated like family or close friends of the owner. The owner works in the kitchen but greeted us at the counter and helped answer all of our questions. He is extremely passionate about his food and you can tell he takes great pride in it through every delicious bite. Due to covid , they have limited staff and no servers but their dining room is still open. We thought we would be picking our food up at the counter. Nope, the owner graciously served us and would not accept anything less. The owner apologized for the way covid has impacted how they do business (which he did not need to do) and he was overall just a very genuine and pleasant guy. He even offered us complimentary damascus bread and baklava. Here's what we tried: -Damascus bread and hummus - the damascus bread was light and crisp with sesame seeds sprinkled on top and drizzled with olive oil. It was a perfect pairing with the hummus. The hummus was some of the best I have ever had. Creamy , with a hint of paprika. -Chicken, kufta and veggies special over yellow rice with a Greek salad. Flavorful, tender and delicious!! It was so good. The owner also brought us some tzatziki sauce and a spicy tobasco based sauce. Both sauces complimented the meats well . The owner asked us how we liked the spicy sauce to which we replied how great it was and he then brought us some to take home. It's delicious so definitely order some on the side! -Baklava - this heavenly Baklava combined honey-soaked layers of flaky phyllo pastry with chopped nuts. It was very good.

I've always gone with and recommend the chicken kebab. It comes with about 4-5 pieces of grilled chicken, yellow rice, vegetables, and side of tzatziki sauce. The grilled flavor of the chicken just mixes so well with the rice, so having that clean "chicken & rice" meal while maintaining the awesome flavors. The menu is pretty diverse, despite Mediterranean being their speciality. They offer other American dishes like burgers or even pizza; never tried them though, but options are there to diversify. Right now due to Ramadan, their hours are adjusted for dining in, so they stop seating people around 7:30pm. To go orders are the only option; not a big deal for me though. I highly recommend people to try this place out if they haven't; seriously a solid 4 star dining establishment!

We came in a bit later in their dinner service and had no issue being sat and were even able to park in their small adjoined parking lot rather than hunting for street parking. I went with the grilled chicken kebabplate and subbed the Greek Salad for a small side of pita and hummus instead. I also wanted to try the kofta so was able to order one piece à la carte to try. It didn't take long for the generously portioned meal to come out....and it also didn't take long for my plate to be scraped clean. Everything was fresh, tasted excellence and seasoned to perfection. I preferred the chicken to the kofta but was glad I tried both. Pro tip - make sure to ask for a side of the yummy salad dressing to mix into your rice to really lake the flavor over the board with the chicken!

The best thing about Shishkebab, in my opinion, is when they have the belly dancer perform; any of the beautiful, talented, and highly professional ladies that dance there! Each performer has her own capability to make sure the audience is comfortable! The kids love participating, and once in a while, live music joins in! I believe people in Augusta know this is THE place to eat wonderful food, hear authentic music, and get the most glorious live dance performance one expects of other larger cities without the larger prices! read more

The Shishkebab Restaurant is an absolute gem! I recently enjoyed their falafel wrap, and it was excellent, packed with flavors that left me craving more. And let's talk about their baklava - it was pure indulgence, a sweet treat that made my taste buds sing. The lentil soup was another highlight; it had the perfect balance of flavors and warmth.

I ordered the red peppers hummus. It looked like like a red pepper sauce poured over regular hummus. I payed $2 to have vegetables instead of rice. It was not worth it. 1/16 cup of grilled peppers and squash that were covered in grease. The fries were hot and well seasoned. Employees were nice and my to-go order came out in about 7 minutes. They served enough hummus to cover 1/2 of the pita I was served. About 2 tablespoons of hummus. I did not order a drink as I was taking the food home.

Now when I got home I called back and talked to the manager and she explained the situation but the server did mess up and counted the kids that were supposed to be counted 2 for 1.

I did also see it on the receipt after the phone call. But my kids shouldn't have been counted as adults or I should have been asked ages to be told they would be counted as adults or kids. Having a guarantee tip on a party of 5 is ridiculous. A party of 5 is an average party size and family size. I know they usually tack the guaranteed tip on like a party of 8 which is usually when you have to join tables, but I have NEVER seen it on a party of 5, especially not 20% maybe 15%. I have seen it when a bill gets to like $200 they tack it on but not under $120 that's stupid. The manager claimed my server just started and didn't know to change the count with kids, I call BS because my wife and I have eaten there on a date a few months prior and she was actually our server then also. So she has been there a minute and she new what she was doing, also she never asked ages to confirm anything as well, so she new EXACTLY what she was doing, and my only hard question is how many people she has done that too. She just got caught this time that's all. Won't ever eat there again, which is sad because I liked that place and was one of my favorites.
