Not much to describe about this place. It’s a small, bare-bones fast food style place, where they prep their meat fresh in house (and sell some cuts fresh or marinated in the back too). Their menu is made up of two distinct sections - middle eastern style food and classic American, though we only tried stuff off the former.
I ordered the lamb chili, since I always go for lamb when it’s on the menu. It’s essentially ground spiced lamb, molded on a skewer and cooked to juicy perfection. It was served with a side of rice, fresh tomato salad (almost like a pico de gallo), flatbread and yogurt sauce. We also ordered curly fries with the meal (I guess we did try something from the American menu after all :) ), which were a delicious balance of crispy and chewy.
For dessert we shared a piece of baklava, which is a sweet and sticky treat of crispy layered filo dough and and honey nut mixture.
This place is definitely going on the list of affordable and delicious meat based meals, I’m also interested in trying out their burgers next time.

A restaurant / butcher shop with a wide array of fresh raw meats and various spiced meat dishes. They offer classic kabobs, rotisserie chicken, and burgers at reasonable prices. We ordered a lamb chili kabob (ground lamb, onions and various peppers / spices) and a chicken tikka kabob (cubed chicken breast with tomato spice blend), with a side of curly fries and a baklava - which was free with a yelp checkin. I find this is one ideal type of restaurant - simple and forward, with quality ingredients (and, of course, I love meat and I love spicy foods...). The lamb dish was fantastic, a generous meaty portion with a lot of flavor and just enough kick. The fries were served with a sort of tzatziki sauce,complementing the spicy food well. The seating area is a bit small - it can feel like a butcher shop first and a restaurant second - but the service is friendly and gives the place an overall cozy hole-in-the-wall feel. If you appreciate good meat and a fair amount of spice, it is definitely a quality bite (and we noticed it is pretty popular for take-out).
