About Shish Kebab
Shish Kebab keeps things simple: a clean dining room, a charcoal grill that produces real char-grilled flavor, and a kitchen that takes Middle Eastern cooking seriously. The owner is often present and visibly invested in every plate. Open dinner with limited lunch hours; reserve ahead for weekends.
Signature Dishes & Menu Highlights
Order the mixed grill platter — beef kebab, chicken kebab, kafta, and lamb skewers, served with rice, salad, hummus, and warm pita. The lamb chops are exceptional and worth the upcharge. Mezze starters (hummus, baba ganoush, tabbouleh, falafel) are made fresh and worth ordering for the table. Vegetarian options well-represented.
