I walked into the butcher shop needing a couple pounds of ground beef and some chicken thighs for…read morethe week. The Mexican butcher had an attitude from the moment I said hello -- short answers, no eye contact, just slapping meat on the scale like I was bothering him. When I got to the register, the total didn't match the prices on the tags. I politely pointed it out, thinking it was probably just a mistake. Instead of checking or apologizing, he got defensive immediately, insisting the price was correct even though the tag clearly said otherwise. When I pushed back and asked him to double check, he raised his voice, started talking over me, and acted like I was accusing him of something criminal instead of just asking a simple question. Other customers in line were visibly uncomfortable. I ended up paying just to get out of there, but I've lost this shop as a customer for good. I'd genuinely warn anyone nearby to be careful with this place -- between the attitude and the pricing discrepancy, it's not worth the hassle. No matter how good the meat is, that kind of treatment and lack of honesty isn't something I'm willing to put up with again.

4.5/5 stars Let me start by saying I have personal biases…read moreI'm battling here. I have newly moved to the Milwaukee area from Metro Detroit (home to the largest Arab population outside of the Middle East) and therefore not only did I grow up with great food our restaurant options have always been elite. If I seem nitpicky I'm sorry but let's get to it! I got the mixed grill plate, Turkish salad, and a lentil soup. Highlights: the shish tawook was perfect, juicy, not over cooked, the kafta loaded with flavors, the hummus was solid, I loved the bed of rice it was on, and the soup delicious... "so T, what happened to the half star?" This is where I might be overly critical... the chopped veggie salad was in dire need of salt, or consider dressing it with the jalapeño mix that was on the hummus. The Turkish salad put me in quite a conundrum... was it delicious? Oh hell ya, was it spicy? Yes (inject it my veins), so what's the issue? My issue here was just that it wasn't a salad. It was an excellent salsa, but I didn't have chips to eat it with and this isn't a "salad" you can eat by itself. If they had fried the Arabic bread and seasoned it like the fattoush chips and gave me a bag of it with the Turkish salad that might be the greatest combo known to Milwaukee. Finally, the only true criticism of this place, the beef kabobs... flavor was amazing, it was tender too but it was severely overcooked. I don't blame the restaurant because as an Lebanese person I grew up with way too many over cooked bbqs and aunts and uncles thinking red meat was blood despite eating kibbee nayee (beef tartar-Lebanese style) but if that had two minutes less on the grill it might have the holy grail of mixed grill plates. All of this to say I was very impressed, Milwaukee has some good spots and I wasn't sure what to expect when I moved here but this place does it for me, will probably make it a rotational spot

I ordered the six piece falafel for $2.50 and the regular size chicken shawarma for $7.99 which I think is a doggone good deal. The falafels were crispy and moist and flavorful. The only thing that was missing was the dipping sauce for them. I did not ask for any nor did he put any. The chicken shawarma came with every vegetable under the sun and it was absolutely delicious. The bread was tender and the chicken was tender and flavorful the vegetables all seem to be fresh. I have no complaints about this sandwich whatsoever.

I had the vegetarian platter. I was a little underwhelmed. The hummus was good, but very subtle. The falafel were dried out. The rice was very good and flavorful. I enjoyed the baba ghanough, but the tabbouleh was kind of bad. It was raw herbs and no seasoning or lemon or salt or Bulgar or oil. It was like someone stopped mid-prep and just sent it. BF's Beef Shawarma plate was fine, but not spectacular or special, even taking into consideration delivery time and food degradation from that. Sadly this meal just made me feel indifferent, so I'll be moving on.

We did a pick up tonight. Had we known it was so pretty, we probably would have made plans for a sit down dinner. Food is good and I'll get to it in a minute, but what truly stood out here was the service. There were two ladies serving/talking order, and both were over the top friendly, with beautiful smiles and super kind. Made whole experience stellar. Falafel One of the best I've had lately. It obviously just came out of the fryer and was so crispy on the outside and steaming delicious inside. Rice Rice is ok. Not the best. Beef Kafta Loved it! Meat was tasty and tender and yummy Baba ghannoug Pretty good - not the best I've had, but pretty up there Hummus I'm personally not a fan of hummus period. But hubby said it was good. Overall, I can't say it's going to be my favorite place ever, but it's really good and I'd go back when I'm in the area for sure! And dine in to enjoy the decor and the awesome service.

After taking a good look into the strip malls I spotter a sigh that had Bbq in it and did a U turn, Pakistani/Indian grocery, jack pot. I absolutely love these ethnic stores with a restaurant in them. It's carry out only but soon I'm told that some isles are are getting removed for a small casual seating area. I asked the super friendly guy at the register to see the menu and he gave me a sample of some new soon to be menu chicken to sample while I looked it over, wow that was delicious I told him. See my menu picture, it was hard to pick something but I went with the Seekh kebob roll and Qeema samosa that comes with two kinds of dipping sauce. OMG the Seekh kabob was the biggest I have ever had at what looked like a foot long/fat kabob rolled in store baked naan, all breads are fresh baked in the store I'm told. The roll was filled lettuce, onions, tomato and chutney which was spice and good, half way through I was stuffed. The Qeema samosa was very good, crispy fried shell filled with seasoned ground beef which comes in three to an order. Wow this really hit the spot for a for a nothing in mind lunch. This place is definitely a Milwaukee hidden gem and for being open with new owners for over a year with only one review with no food pictures. This was such a great find with tasty authentic food that definitely didn't disappoint today, great job today and I wish you great success.
