If you want to elevate your healthy dining experience, Chop Shish Mediterranean is the place for you. A gem of a locally independent place for healthy yet delicious food choices. One of the owners, Baran, takes the time to explain Mediterranean options and how he purchases the highest-quality olive oil when he shops for the restaurant. What we chose for our second time experience: Appetizer: We decided on the Sauced Eggplant Entrees: Hubby chose the Branzino, and I chose the chicken kebab. There are extensive lamb choices and vegetarian offerings. I like dining here earlier in the week when it's not so busy. Today, I got the scoop on the large mural in the BYOB restaurant. Marden's Tower/Kiz Kulesi, a prominent landmark currently an observational tower, sits on an island on the Asian side of Istanbul. There is plenty of parking behind the restaurant, and You Can Dine Al fresco if you choose. read more

The worst experience I have ever had the food smells the place too the vegetables are not fresh and the lamb was not good And he put a tip and service in top of the check with more than 10$ read more

I really liked the food but felt like the atmosphere was strange . They sat us by the kitchen and some of the dishes were chipped. I wanted to go there for a while. I will definitely give them another chance. The service was slow. read more

Very nice mural and clean inside this restaurant. It is small, so if you're going on a busy night, I'd suggest making a reservation. Forgot to take pics, but for starters we got the cigarette borek and the zucchini. The borek was delicious! Zucchini was almost like a triangular fritter- tasty but needed some salt. For entrees we got the chicken kabob and donee kebab. This is the third time I have tried to get the doner kebab and they finally had it in stock! Third time really is the charm I guess. I ordered the doner kebab with an extra side of sauce. A little rice, some kebab, and sauce makes the perfect bite! The salad is also delicious. The chicken kebab had a great flavor and was moist. For soda, they have cans. Otherwise the table had a caraffe/bottle of water to self-serve. Service was solid. read more

Plenty of parking on road and in lot beside the restaurant. Super nice ambiance and loved the light fare. We went to Hershey Park and really needed to get away from amusement park food. This was just what we were looking for. They have high chairs for kids. Service was warm and personable. It's a BYOB place which we didn't know until we saw other people bringing drinks in. Super cute and cozy overall. Highly recommend. read more

Chop Shish Mediterranean Restaurant - Mediterranean Near Me - Camp Hill, Pennsylvania

I was on a quest to try healthy Mediterranean cuisine, and found this one on Yelp that looked interesting! It's a cozy small place and we enjoyed sitting by the window, the music added to the ambiance. We ordered the cold appetizer selection and really enjoyed sampling the different items and the grilled pita was delicious. I ordered the hot tea, and loved it so I ordered another. Hubby ordered the Turkish coffee and it was served as customary in a mini delicate cup on an ornate tray with a cube of Turkish delight. It was also good, but not as thick and rich as we had experienced at another place prior. I ordered the dorado filets, which came with rice and salad. The salad was actually my favorite, it had a light dressing that I enjoyed. The fish smelled a bit fishy, and actually had quite a few bones. I ordered it filleted instead of whole for that reason. Needless to say, I didn't care for it as much as I could have. The grill flavor and marks were nice, but the smell and bones threw me off. The rice was overcooked but did taste nice, I didn't finish it either. Husband ordered a lamb dish that had cut up pieces of pita in, and a tomato sauce. It was okay but not great either. So overall, it was fun and I enjoyed the experience but not sure if I'll return or not. Maybe I'd order something else entirely and it would knock my socks off. read more

We were looking for something different for dinner for my birthday, and I had been wanting to try this place. My only regret is that I didn't try it sooner. The restaurant has a nice ambiance, the food was delicious, and the service was top notch. I wish I would have taken a few photos, but we were all so happy to just dig right in that I didn't even think about it. We started with the small mixed appetizer platter, with stuffed grape leaves, hummus, baba ghanoush, piyaz, and haydari. The fresh pita bread that it was served with was very good, and all of the apps were great. We especially liked the haydari yogurt dip. For dinner my fiancé and I split the Chop Shish Mixed Grill, since we wanted to try a bunch of the options, and knew that we wanted dessert. Everything on it was incredible, but the chicken kebab, chicken adana, and lamb adana were our favorites. And there was more than enough for both of us. The grilled jalapeño and grilled tomato were nice touches, and the rice and salad were good. My son and my parents were also very happy with their choices- chicken kebab, lamb shish kebab, and grilled lamb chops. For dessert, 4 of us got the baklava, and 1 got the kunefe. The kunefe was good, and something we hadn't tried before... but the baklava was out of this world. It was perfect- not too heavy and not too sweet, as it sometimes is. There were 4 pieces in each order, with fresh whipped cream in the middle. We took some home, since the portions were plentiful, and we're already looking forward to the leftovers. And I can't say enough about how wonderful the service was. It was so friendly and genuine, and there was no rush to order or to wrap up after we had finished eating. He insisted that we relax and stay to finish up our wine. And the fact that it is byob was nice, as well. We will definitely be back very soon! read more

I'm Middle Eastern and am thrilled to find delicious, regional, Turkish and Middle Eastern/Mediterranean dishes right here in Camp Hill. The Lamb Shish, Iskender Kepab and Baba Ghanouj were delicately seasoned, enhancing the food rather than covering the flavors. The lamb was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. The salad lightly seasoned was a perfect balance to the plate. Lovely Turkish music played in the background of this simply classic, cozy dining area. The owner graciously entertained my desire for a little chat after our meal. A kind and joy-filled spirit is Mr. Baran. My only sadness is I forgot photos! Trust me. Just go visit and enjoy. read more

This restaurant serves wonderfully delicious Mediterranean dishes. The owner is the cook who is extremely personable and serves large portions at very reasonable prices. I was amazed at how much thinly sliced, succulent lamb was on my plate. There was more meat than the pieces of pita bread served with the dish for a price of $19. The atmosphere and decor of the restaurant is one of upscale fine dining. I have been back many times bringing my family and friends. This restaurant is truly a crown jewel hidden away on Market street in Camphill, Pa. read more

I really wanted to love this place. But I don't know if would go back. They were out of a couple things. Including the item I really wanted to try. Service was ok. Friendly but a little slow. We didn't get one of the items we ordered at all and then had to get it taken off the bill. I wish it had been a bit more flavorful. The salad that came with it was probably my favorite item. My cousin ordered the lamb chops and they looked good. read more

Very good! Had the doner kebab with a flavorful yogurt sauce and a salad. Even the salad dressing was so light and refreshing! Ended with a Turkish coffee and baklava. I was not the only one who was impressed. All members of my party enjoyed their dishes. Our waiter was very patient and accommodating. Told us to stay as long as we liked. And made sure we had lighting since we were seated outdoors. What a hidden gem this place is! Would definitely recommend. Can't wait to try another dish here! read more

This place is a must try! Family owned, local, and delicious. I once worked with a Turkish Chef and my lamb kabob brought me back. Inside is quaint and relaxing. Glasses were brought for our BYOB drinks. We started with the Hummus $6.99 and the Cigarette Borek $8.50. (Fried Phyllo Dough stuffed with feta and dill) The hummus was smooth and high restaurant quality. The Cigarette Borek was crunchy and very flavorful. For our entrees, we ordered: 1. Lamb Shish Kebab - ($22.00) perfectly cooked, seasoned wonderfully, and served with rice and house salad. All very tasty. 2. Chicken Adana Kebab - ($17.00) Full of flavor, perfectly cooked, juicy, and well portioned. Service was great. Anything you needed was brought fast. We will be back! Go check this place out! You won't regret it. read more

I wasn't feeling the food. I didn't like the salad. It seemed and looked like it was old soggy greens. Not crisp. I didn't like the rice either. The meat kabobs were ok, but overall, I didn't like the salad and rice. No pics. I deleted them after I did my Google review. I did like the calamari though. Our waitress was good and the restaurant looks nice. read more

Excellent food, excellent service and surroundings! The owner was incredibly affable. Highly recommended this restaurant - we will be back!

This was incredible food. My lamb was bit overdone and not the medium rare I asked for. However the taste.on everything we had was excellent. The waitor was very good, knowledge and humorous. We got our food fast. This is a BYOD establishment. Will be back very soon. read more

This is one of the best Mediterranean restaurants I have tried the food is fresh and always tastes delicious. It is a cool neighborhood you will drive right by it if you are not looking for it. I have had great service both times and the inside is very unique since it is small. I think that is one of the cool things about this place I have recommended it to several people and all has enjoyed it. read more

This was a fantastic experience! The food was perfectly cooked and seasoned beautifully right down to the rice. Do not miss the falafel and lamb chops. We will absolutely return to this restaurant, even though it is more than an hour drive. Craveworthy read more

This place is a must-try! The food was delicious and the service was phenomenal. Very kind owner from Turkey. The pita bread was so fresh and came out warm, with delicious mixed dips like hummus, yogurt, and eggplant. I got the salmon plate and it was grilled to perfection. The salad was fresh, and I loved the rice! I normally don't write reviews, but you can tell that this place truly cares about their customers and go above and beyond to give a great service. 11/10 recommend! read more

We had dinner here the other night with my wife for our anniversary. It is BYOB. The owner waited on us and is extremely pleasant and very attentive. The food is amazing, including dessert. It's a nice little restaurant with a cozy kind of atmosphere. Prices are decent. They accommodate gluten-free and did I mention that the food is absolutely amazing. I would recommend it and I will definitely be going back to this place. read more

Awesome!! Doner kabob is such a craze all over the world right now, and boom, we've got a Turkish place in Camp Hill. This family is local, and they pay attention to getting the best ingredients. The Doner kabob is just special. I will try the other items, but this is the best Doner lamb kabob I've had including the DC area. The rice is soft and buttery and the salad is perfectly simple and delicious. Their yogurt sauce is also really good with the kabob. My kids and family have had salmon, shrimp, chicken and Doner lamb kabob and everything we've eaten has been great. Please, they are in their first week opening, if something isn't right, just let them know. They are super nice and willing to help in any way possible. Serefe!! read more

Chop Shish Mediterranean Restaurant - Salmon Kabob with rice and salad. - Mediterranean Near Me - Camp Hill, Pennsylvania

This new eatery is a gem! Quaint & cozy ambiance in a historic building. Food ingredients were fresh & perfectly seasoned & menu prices were reasonable. Our party of 4 enjoyed 2 different appetizers--baba ghanoush (diced, grilled eggplant in yogurt w/tahini, garlic, oil & dill served cold w/heated pitas for dipping) & zucchini (pan fried patties w/mint, carrot, cheese, eggs, flour & spices w/yogurt dip). Latter app was my fav! We tried several different entrees--shish kebabs (1 filet mignon, 1 chicken & 1 lamb) & also 1 lamb gyro. My lamb kebab was a trifle overcooked for medium (not pink), but was still fairly tender & so flavorful. Grilled jalapeño & tomato were perfectly charred & salad had colorful mixed greens, chopped tomatoes & cucumbers finished w/lemon & olive oil dressing; a side of rice was also included. Water was served room temp, but server accommodated my request for ice. Turkish coffee was rich espresso & was authentically presented on an ornate, intricately designed bronze serving tray & included a single piece of Turkish Delight under a mini dome! For dessert we sampled Sutlac (rice pudding), Baklava (made w/pistachios instead of walnuts) & Kazandibi (milk pudding w/cinnamon & brown sugar crusted--similar to flan, but w/no egg, so it's more creamy & less custardy. All sweet treats were delightful. Our server was fairly well informed on menu selections, but minimally attentive, considering how few diners were there--we came @ 7:30pm & there were only 2 other couples dining then. All our orders came out quickly & were heartily enjoyed. Overall, our meal was an adventurous treat for the tastebuds! I wish this small local business much success in downtown Camp Hill. read more

We love this place and had a great experience. We each got lentil soup and shared an eggplant appetizer. I got the fillet shish kebab and my friend got the lamb. We were both very happily satiated. The owner was very pleasant and attentive. I would recommend Chop Shish if you are looking for a nice meal. We are definitely going back. read more

Great food and great service! We enjoyed the hummus, pita bread, Lamb Adana, baklava, and rice pudding.

Passing through Camp Hill and stopped for dinner here at the recommendation of friend. We had the Sauced Eggplant, Falafel & Zucchini Platter, and Chicken Kofte. While tempting, we opted for no dessert. However, the check came with a sample of the baklava, so we will have to rethink that next time! Delicious food, friendly service. Our new favorite Mediterranean restaurant in the area. Will be back with friends! read more

Chop Shish Mediterranean Restaurant - Falafel & Zucchini Platter, and Chicken Kofte. - Mediterranean Near Me - Camp Hill, Pennsylvania

Not exactly what i ordered but tasty. The tabuli was refreshing. Chicken shaurma was a little bland but good ingredients.

I stumbled upon this hidden gem and it truly didn't disappoint. Highly recommend the Doner Kebab and Piyaz. Fresh flavors and perfect portions! Can't wait to go back!! read more

I have been here before and liked it but not sure what happened this last time. Service was unfriendly, like we were bothering them. After ordering it took almost 45 minutes to be served. The food was horrible - Koftes were burned and very dry. Then the falafels were as hard as rocks with no flavor. Had to go looking for waitress to get bread and finally the check. I was so disappointed as I was treating a friend to lunch who was recouping from surgery. I had told her this place was good. Boy was I wrong. I will never return after that disaster of a lunch. This is the very first time I have ever posted a review on Yelp. So you have to know that it was incredibly bad for me to be inspired to write this. I am also forced to post a one star but it should not get any stars. read more

Service was friendly and helpful with descriptions without trying to upsell everything. The menu had good variety for our party without being too much to make a choice. The food was very well prepared and the presentation was well done. We had a wide variety of dishes and shared everything. The desserts and Turkish coffee and tea are not to be overlooked! We'll be back soon. Done forget a nice bottle of wine as it is a BYOB. read more

The food was delicious! Had the Adana lamb, which was grilled ground lamb on a skewer. So flavorful and melts in your mouth. My son had the chicken kebabs, also amazing. Very flavorful and tender. My other son had the kids lamb gyro, which was pretty tasty and large for a kids meal. He loved the fries that came with it. We also shared the 5 appetizer sampler. The baba ganoush was a hit as well as the hydera. Grape leave's appetizer was very nice too. The owner was very friendly as well as the staff. They could use more wait staff though, I felt sorry for the one guy by himself on the busy Tuesday night we were there. An excellent restaurant addition to the west shore restaurant scene. Will definitely come back read more

Excellent food. Fantastic service! Plenty of menu options for most anyone. We will definitely be visiting again soon. read more

While on an overnight stay in Camp Hill, we accidentally found Chop Shish (we were looking for salads for lunch). What a great find. The food is delicious - and service was great. The restaurant itself is nice as well with tablecloth service. All of our meals done well and the pita bread was made fresh and amazing. Better than many of the middle eastern restaurants we frequent in Boston area. Definitely stop by if you are in the area. read more

We must say that from the service to the meal and the price the atmosphere it was wonderful very highly recommended

Food was excellent. Have Donner Kabab and the 5-7 appetizer to try everything. Service was great and staff were very friendly. Great place to gather and share dishes. Don't forget to order the homemade baklava to die for. read more

The small cold appetizer was colorful and a great way to try several different flavors and textures. The staff was friendly and patient as we asked questions about food items. The low rating is the time it took us to get a server to get us the check. It was 40 minutes of waiting on the patio. Hoping that with time they will be more efficient and work out the kinks. read more

Chop Shish Mediterranean Restaurant - 5 appetizer cold sampler - Mediterranean Near Me - Camp Hill, Pennsylvania

My wife and I went out tonight and enjoyed a very delightful dinner at Chop Shish Mediterranean This Turkish/Mediterranean place did not disappoint! The dill/cheese phyllo cigars appetizer was awesome! The Turkish coffee came out piping hot and strong, accompanied by a bite of Turkish delight Our entrees (lamb) we perfectly cooked and seasoned We finished the meal by splitting a portion of Kazandibi (highly recommended by our very friendly server) This is a perfectly cooked custard, reminiscent of a flan in some ways. We plan on returning soon. NOTE: Camp Hill is dry Never bothered to check if they are BYOB friendly read more

This was my first visit and my initial impressions were good! Menu is small but plenty of variety to consider. Our service was friendly, prompt and pleasant. The pita bread served with the eggplant appetizer was a big hit. I asked my server which dish was the most flavorful because I am told I have underdeveloped taste buds! It takes a lot of spicing to impress me! She recommended a chicken dish that included salad and rice in the plate. Well,here's where I was disappointed. The flavoring is very mild at best which was disappointing. Again, I like my dishes to have some bang. So I squirted some fresh lemon on the chicken and finished the meal in peace. So, maybe this style of cooking is appropriate for Turkish food. I would like them to have one or two dishes that have more pop. I'll try again in a few months. Next time, I will also try the rice pudding which looked great but I was too full to try it this time. read more
