    Cheeseburger with fries

    Wasn't asked what I wanted on my burger they just handed it to me and asked me to pay for a total of $11.21 it's good, very filling.

    Chicken and Lamb Over Rice (L) w/ Hot Sauce $9

    Parked right outside Hunter's West Building, the Roadside Grill offers a wide range of fulfilling meals and platters, at a really cheap price too. For $6 to $8, you can get a small or large platter of chicken or lamb over rice. They also offer other food items such as hamburgers, shish kabobs, fries and what not. My favorites are the chicken over rice and the chicken tenders with fries. Different from your typical halal carts, their chicken over rice consists of large cuts of grilled chicken over yellow rice, with some mixed salad and tomatoes on the side. Their white sauce does taste a bit more like ranch rather than tahini sauce, but still pretty delicious. The shaved cuts of lamb over rice is also really good too. You can also get a mix of chicken and lamb over rice, but they only offer a large platter of this and it's a dollar more than the usual large platters. So $9.

    Always great food, always fresh, and the friendliest people. Haven't had a bad dish yet and I try something different every time.

    Lamb over rice
    Linda W.

    I cannot even begin to describe how badly I want a lamb over rice combo right now.. The food truck is located right outside of the hunter west building. For $7 you get a nice hot order of yellow long grain rice with shaved gyro lamb and a mixed salad with your choice of hot sauce, bbq sauce, or tahini (white sauce). The guys are so quick with everyone's orders not to mention always precise ! They're pretty friendly too and give generous portions of meat :) Drinks are all $2. Will definitely try some other orders here throughout my next four years in college

The food is incredible and the service is top-notch in a setting that immerses you in Albanian history and hospitality. The menu is extensive and I found it helpful to ask the friendly servers their recommendations and suggestions. I really enjoyed the sesame baked cheese, mantia and sausage dip as appetizers and saved plenty of room for their mixed grill platter, which is generous and filling; ordering a salad along with their bread will complete any meal and you will leave more than satisfied by the taste and authenticity of all the dishes. Not just a meal but an experience!

It feels like you stepped into a rustic little house that a family lives in. We really appreciated that they were playing Albanian music. The food is so filling and heavy so pace yourself. My husband and I shared the pepper dip and the baked cheese appetizers, which come with freshly baked bread. Seriously delicious. For entrees, I got the tava kosi, which is an egg dish with two pieces of lamb. Honestly I didn't love it. It's a LOT of egg. The lamb pieces were delicious, but I was already so full that I could only have one piece. I wish it had a bit less egg and a bit more other things, but I know this is their national dish. My husband got the qofte shari. It was perfect. Cooked so well, the meat was spiced uniquely, even the fries were great. I think I just ordered the wrong thing! I would seriously love to return and try another clay dish. We finished off the meal with Albanian coffee, which was like Turkish coffee, but smoother and better. All in all, left so happy and full. Service was so attentive, too. Go here for a unique meal in the cutest little restaurant.

The staff was extremely warm, kind and welcoming and a special shoutout to Irem who was amazing, gave us some great recommendations and took care of us throughout. I went for the $39 prix fixe brunch which is honestly such a great deal and comes with quite a spread. I had the muhammara, hummus, shakshuka and dessert and thoroughly enjoyed my coffee too. We also ordered the tuna Niçoise salad, which is by far the best I have had ever. One of my friends was accidentally served the wrong order and they immediately replaced it with the right one and made her meal completely complimentary, which was such a nice gesture and something we really appreciated. We also loved that nobody was rushing us and we could just sit, chat and enjoy our brunch. Great food, beautiful ambiance, wonderful hospitality and even the restrooms were spotless and very well maintained. Overall such a positive experience and easily a 5/5 for me.

We were lead upstairs to a table. There were 7 of us The seating was cozy but not cramped. We started with 7 family style small dishes: Hummus with Falafel Pops (chickpea purée, tahini, falafel, olive oil), Spring Burrata (roasted cherry tomatoes, toast, basil oil), Hamachi Crudo (passionfruit vinaigrette, citrus zest, cucumber, mint, sesame tuile), Scallops (carrot puree, serrano pepper, brown butter sauce), Tenderloin Skewer (zaatar chimichurri, fresh herb salad), and Shiitake Stuffed Grape Leaves (tomato coulis, yogurt foam, herbs). Everything was delicious. The hummus was well seasoned the falafel had a nice crunch. It went well with the warm puffy gyro bread that came to the table. The burrata was wasm and creamy. I love the vinaigrette on the fish. I ended up eating most of it. The scallops were the sweetest, most tender ones I have ever had. The tenderloin skewers were tender and well seasoned. I liked the grape leaves but the rice consistency was very soft almost mushy and you can barely tell there were mushrooms. There was barely any mushrooms flavor. Next we all chose an entree. I got the duck breast, my husband and daughter each had the beef tenderloin. The duck breast was smaller than i expected. The skin was nicely seared and very crispy but boy did it give my jaw a workout. It was done medium rare. It was juicy but tough. The small beef tenderloin was tender and smoky. The waiter poured the sauce over the tenderloin for added flavor. Finally dessert was a fruit plate with ice cream and pudding. The fruit was fresh and the flavors of the ice cream and pudding unique. It was a nice end to a good brunch. The price was a little expensive at $85 a person.
