I always start with the chicken or beef Pelmeni as an appetizer, which never disappoints. They serve their homemade pita bread with butter, a simple but delicious touch. For my main dish, I order the mixed grill--it's truly mind-blowing, always soft, juicy, and cooked to perfection. However, their Adana (beef) Kebap is a bit below average, tasting more like a frozen version, which could use some improvement. The small salad portion is also too small--it feels more like a sample plate, and they could definitely size it up. The restaurant is usually very quiet, which means the service is good and quick, and the staff is friendly. Long story short, I crave their food and always find reasons to eat there--even if my friends don't join me.

This was a takeout order…read more We found that two kebab plates are enough to feed four people. Originally we were going to order two mixed grill plates, but since each one only comes with one lamb chop, it would've been awkward trying to split everything evenly. Instead, we ordered the Grilled Mixed Chicken Plate and the Adana Kebab Entrée, which worked out much better for sharing. The meats were all juicy and cooked really well. I liked that each one had its own seasoning and preparation, so nothing tasted repetitive. The tomato could've used a little more char, but the grilled pepper was good. Both the white rice and bulgur were solid, and the pita was really good. I do wish the plates came with some kind of sauce to tie everything together, and I think a small side salad would've rounded out the meal nicely. One thing I did notice was the complimentary bread. It used to be better. Looking back at pictures from a few years ago, it used to be much better. Overall though, it was a good meal and everyone was satisfied.

City Kebab is a Middle Eastern kebab restaurant that opened in Hartford, Connecticut in September…read more2023. It was founded by husband and wife Uzbek immigrants Timur Rakhimov and Aziza Djalmamedova. The couple immigrated to the United States from Uzbekistan in 2010. After over a decade of education, training, and hard work, they decided to try their luck as restaurateurs. They found a space that used to be home to Hook & Ladder Restaurant (right next to Hartford Fire Department's historic South Green Station). The couple hired Turkish immigrant Hasan Korkmaz as their head chef. Together, they curated a menu full of traditional Turkish and Uzbek cuisine that is all prepared in accordance with halal dietary laws. Some of the menu items include kebabs, samsas, falafel, gyro, and mezzo platters. I recently dined at City Kebab while I was in Hartford to see a concert. I checked Yelp to see if there was anywhere good to grab dinner before the show, and Middle Eastern/Mediterranean cuisine sounded fantastic to me. When I entered, I was greeted by the very friendly co-owner Timur, who said, "I work for my wife. She's the real boss." After being seated, I began to look over the menu. When Timur returned, he tried to recommend that I get gyro. I told him, "Oh no. I know exactly what I want. I'd like to order a variety of small plates to sample. I'm a local food blogger and I want an authentic experience." Timur was just ecstatic and quickly went to give my order to the kitchen staff. I started off first with a small "Mixed Cold Appetizer" (combo of hummus, babganush, haydari, soslu patlican, antep ezme, avocado ezme), the "Falafel" (mixture of chickpeas, parsley, onions, garlic, Middle Eastern spices, deep fried) and a small teapot of "Turkish Black Tea". Timur brought me some complimentary "Ramazan Pidesi" (Turkish Bread) as well as a glass of "Fresh Squeezed Lemonade". He said, "You need to try this!" So far, everything was excellent! For the main course, I had the "Mixed Grill" (mixture of chicken shish, beef shish, kofte, lamb adana, beef & lamb gyro, served w/ white rice, bulgur rice, Mediterranean salad). It was a symphony of Mediterranean flavors! Timur surprised me with a "Pumpkin Samsa" (pumpkin filling in crispy pastry, seasoned with spices, served w/ tomato sauce) and said, "You can't leave without trying this. It's an Uzbek specialty!" It was very tasty! Before the meal was over, he said, "Save some room. I have another surprise for you at the end." He brought me "Künefe with Dondurma" (Turkish ice cream). I had never tried this before. Stuffed with melted mozzarella and then topped with pistachio and almond crumbles, it was simply divine! I repeatedly thanked Timur for his hospitality and for sharing his culinary cultural traditions with me. I had enough leftovers for both my wife and I to have for dinner the following evening. I'll definitely be returning with my whole family. If you're looking for an authentic Middle Eastern culinary experience in Hartford, then look no further than City Kebab!
