    Lamb shank and salad buried in sauce
    Ross H.

    Had a very disappointing dinner there tonight with my wife. Reviews on here were very good but not true. Dinning in you get styrofoam to eat off of not plates and you get plastic utensils. Server barely spoke English There was hardly any meat on my lamb shank but you couldn't tell as sauce was slopped over everything even the salad. My wife did get a decent amount of meat. The humus tasted nice as did the abundant supply of rice. Took about ten minutes of conversation with the server before they were able to inform us they had none of the three deserts advertised. Will probably not be back as will save my middle eastern eating for when I'm in Toronto I've been eating middle eastern food for over 45 years now and this was the worst presentation I have ever had.

    Solid meal! I just wish the portions were slightly bigger. I forgot my favorite spot in Peterborough is closed Sundays and Mondays so I needed to find an alternative. Yelp recommended this shawarma spot across the street. Decent rating and I didn't have to find new parking. This place is no frills. Limited seating. Seems very popular with the local university's students.i ordered the chicken shawarma over salad. There was some confusion because they don't offer this. I then asked for the chicken shawarma plate, no rice, extra salad. I wish they filled the plate with more salad and delicious toppings. I felt like they just deleted my rice and I had empty space left. The chicken was very juicy and seasoned perfectly. All their toppings were very fresh. The garlic sauce wasn't thick and pasty like traditional it was more like ranch sauce but garlic. It tasted good but not what I'm used to. Overall my food was super tasty, i would like to try a few more dishes to see if they can earn that last star.

    Chicken Shawarma and Koobideh kebab

    Small cosy family run restaurant. The owner was really nice and friendly. Food was excellent. We had the Chicken Shawarma, Spinach curry, Koobideh kebab, eggplant stew and chicken biryani. Everything was delicious! Chicken shawarma was specially soft, juicy and flavorful; prolly one of the best I've had in North America!

    VERY INCONSISTENT food. Some times it's pretty good, sometimes absolutely horrible. They are starting to lessen their portions as well.

    We had come to this restaurant on a Saturday evening at around 6:30 pm for dinner. When we had…read morearrived, there was a large soccer team there having dinner therefore, it was quite busy. We were able to secure a booth near the side of the restaurant which didn't have any members of the team, which was large enough for the both of us. We then placed our order, which was the chicken kabob meal for my husband, and the butter chicken meal for myself. We then sat down, and waited about 10-12 minutes for the meal to arrive, which was perfect timing considering that there was a large team to serve while we were there. In the butter chicken meal, I was given a large container of butter chicken, along with pita bread, rice, and salad. I was impressed with how well everything tasted, as the chicken was tender, and the rice with the salad was abundant. I couldn't even eat all of the food, as there was too much of it! Overall, this place was definitely top-notch; excellent amount of food choices, great value, and nice service; would definitely come back if I am in the area again, and would highly-recommend to anyone that is looking for an authentic and delicious meal!

    I spotted the sign for this place after what would be a disappointing experience at the place next…read moredoor. If there was anything good that came out of my failed dinner experience at their neighbour, it was finding this little gem! We placed an order over the phone for pickup. I wanted to get an order of the Tandoori Chicken Fries but they were out of fries that day. Have a back up just in case! I know it's called the Kabab Shoppe but I've been craving butter chicken for a long time. I got that knowing I could mooch off everyone else for a bite of their kabab (I know I'm the worst). The sauce for this butter chicken was perfect. Flavourful without heat! Their naan is a little bit different than what you would get at most other places. The outside is fried a golden brown and the inside is very fluffy and almost reminds me of like a focaccia. I tried a bit of the Kabuli Palau which is a lamb shank over rice with carrots and raisins. This was really good and my definite go to the next time we order from here. My partner gave me a piece each of shish kabab and barg tikka and I'm a little ashamed to say that I couldn't really tell the difference. They were both decent though! A little Covid note as well, there is no indoor seating right now. There are plexiglass barriers separating the counter from guests.
