    Gyro PLATE
    Nell C.

    The Kebab Shop has pretty good Mediterranean food. The portions were good and cooking was flavorful. Service was very nice and friendly. Ambiance was clean and well kept. I liked how the food came in to go containers and if you couldn't finish you had the option to take it home. Less plates wasted.

    CRAVE FRIES
    Shauna W.

    I've actually been to this spot a couple times but I was an elite failure and forgot to review . I will say I am a huge fan of the fries there and not much else, not because it's gross I just don't like a lot of things on the menu . I come here for the fries and that makes me super happy haha. Yes , they are basic but they are so good ! Customer service is always good and the place is clean inside . The crave fries are the bomb and My wife got the falafel , she said they were good , I tried it and it's not a friend of my taste buds .

    SO GOOD WOW. i had very low expectations and was blown away by the quality and taste of the food. the lamb/gyro was the most tender and flavor filled i have ever had in my life. the rice was cooked to perfection without overwhelming aromatics. i am a huge greek connoisseur and critic, so I was shocked to love everything. the SAUCES holy cow. the OG garlic speaks for itself and should be sold in bottles asap. the spicy fire sauce is the perfect heat add + the jalapeño cilantro is fresh and spicy. this isn't the closest mediterranean food near me, but i will 10000% be coming back any chance i get. this is worth the drive. they also have cute cups for kids, how fun!

    Lamb shawarma wrap

    Had the lamb shawarma wrap and I have to say, it is big, and packed with flavor. One of the best tzatziki dips I've had , and their garlic dip is delicious, not too strong . The place is clean, and the service is fast. Fair pricing, I will be coming back . Definitely recommend this place.

    Always love the food at TKS, I come weekly for the grilled chicken bowl, usually have fries , cuz they're the best, and the rice is good too. The garlic yogurt sauce is delicious.

You can see the food being prepared in front of you. Just a great addition to the community, let's start off with why everybody goes. The ambience is next level from pho stars on the ceiling to water running around the restaurant to a bridge. You have to walk over to cobblestone Street to Lyons head facing the staircase. Everything is on Point, the dishes are copper or some kind of metals they're very rustic Make sure your whole party is there to be seated and you do have a time limit on your seating There were five of us so we split the platter the appetizer platter as well as the kebab platter. I highly suggest adding on the cauliflower. It was probably our favorite of all the dishes of the evening. We added a steak skewer as well. It was phenomenal. No room for dessert

    IF YOU'VE NEVER HAD PERSIAN FOOD, PLEASE DON'T THINK THIS PLACE REPRESENTS PERSIAN CUISINE. Persian…read morefood is absolutely amazing but not here. I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was one of the most disappointing Persian meals I've had. The first thing that stood out to me was that when we walked in, I found it interesting that I didn't see a single Persian customer dining there. After trying the food, I understood why. The prices are outrageous. Charging $23 for a single koobideh kabob that is half of the size of other restaurants is hard to justify(also with no rice no tomato), especially considering the quality. The koobideh had a strange smell that honestly reminded us of the frozen koobideh kabobs we bought from Costco and those actually tasted better. Our waiter told us, "If you're Persian, don't think Leila like authentic Persian food. This place is more Americanized." We've eaten Persian food all over the U.S., and we've never had this experience. This isn't "Americanized" Persian food it simply wasn't good and lacked the flavor and the smell or quality that Persian cuisine is known for. And let's talk about the tahdig. Tahdig is famous for being the most delicious, crispy rice. At this restaurant, it seemed to mean dry rice instead. It was nothing like the golden, crunchy tahdig Persian cuisine is known for. The only positive thing I can say is that the restaurant is beautiful. The décor and ambiance are lovely. Unfortunately, the food didn't come close to matching the setting. We left disappointed, especially considering the prices. If you want to experience how incredible Persian food really is, please try another Persian restaurant not this one.

    Walked past this place and decided to give it a try because I do like Indian food and was very…read morecurious about what "Pakistani" food is. I'm no expert but this place appears to be a bit of a fusion restaurant. The menu has options similar to typical Indian food such as butter chicken, but then it also has items such as a beef kebab! And the beef kebab did not have the Greek flavors so that you normally expect, so it was very interesting indeed! The reason I say it seems like a fusion place is because they also serve burgers! Anyways, I'm so glad I tried this place because I have found another place that has AMAZING CHAI. I love good quality chai, and many places serve bad chai that has not much quality of flavor. But the chai at Casa Lahori is amazing! It tastes homemade, and they even serve it to you in a beautiful tea cup. I will definitely return just for the chai. And I'd like to return to try other items on their menu. The waiter was friendly.

We ordered nihari, chicken biryani, chiken tokka kabob, chapli kabob, naan and chai and mango lassi. Mango lassi was interesting it was like it had pistachio or something kheer flavored in it. The chicken tikka was called kebab in menu so that was confusing, since its a chicken leg. The leg was good, had good flavor and freshness and not overcooked. Chapli kabob was dissapointing- what was interesting was that employees were afghani so the chapli should have been good atleast, but it was dry and not right consistency. Biryani was tasting like the shaadi style where flavor is almost there but not quiet. The nihari wasnt that good tbh, it had a home style attempt taste and look, but quantity of meat was decent. Naans were okay, large soft and sinilar to a mix between roghni and kahmeeri (as called in lahore). Chai was masala chai so it tasted as described. They were playing music so not recommended as well, but they had janamaz (prayer rugs) which were good when we had to pray maghrib. They also do reserve seating so if you want the afghan like cushion pillow seat style (but ontop of chairs or bench) you could reserve it probably. So interesting that place /decore/menu is lahori but theirs an Afghan map and employees there. I wish then bolani was a menu option :) good to go with chai as an idea We did get to watch the fifa game for free

It felt very fancy and was one of the most exotic things I have eaten in a long time. We also got the dolmas (grapes leaves) and the Bolani (turnover stuffed with leek and potatoes) as an appetizer. The dolmas were ok, but the bolani was exceptional, like a leek and potato quesadilla but lighter. It was hard to put into words. Just order it and enjoy! Lastly, for drinks we got a Cherry Blossom Tea (Sheer Chai). Again, it tasted like nothing I have ever ordered before, which is hard to do because we are adventurous eaters. It tasted like cream straight from the cow mixed with a cherry blossom-y and strawberry-ish Chai flavor+ black tea flavor. One of the best drinks that I have experienced in 2025 by far.

The food was still fresh when I got home 15 mins later. Everything was good and just enough for us two. Also, I'm not sure why there's a range of where they may be located on Yelp since this is just a food truck that seems to be permanent at this location.
