Keifer&#x27;s Restaurant

If you take one thing from me, know this--ALADDIN IS THE BEST!!!!!!…read more I absolutely LIVE for their chicken shawarma plate (or even the wrap). It is sooooooo good and never does me wrong! You also HAVE to get the hummus because it is the BEST HUMMUS EVER!!! Can't find anything better I swear. Now, you gotta get the shata sauce on the side if you like some heat because this sauce is not only spicy, but tangy and adds the perfect amount of flavor to everything else. Staff is always wonderful here and the decorations inside make it so comforting every time.

Hopefully this is just a To-go experience because if they have served this food to anyone dining in, I cant imagine a person who wouldnt be disappointed and send it back. I ordered the green goddess kale salad, which is i guess exactly what the menu describes but is beyond underwhelming. It was just wilted lettuce and kale with some crushed bits of parmesean on it with 1 dressing. This salad was 9.75 but proably cost them .25 cents to make. Absolutley horrible salad, you get more taste and value from a pre packaged salad kit at kroger. The other thing I got was the braised beef shwarma wrap. This had some ok flavor but that is completely forgotten about because the whole wrap was sopping in grease. It is a fatty meat, but i could even pick up the wrap without my whole hand being covered in grease and the bread was so covered that it felt like dough. Overall very poor meal from a place that usually really like for their plates, bowls, and drinks.

You could taste the freshness in the bread and the marination of the meat was fantastic. Overall the decor has a typical Greek aesthetic to it, but not very modern. The only two negatives that I have are that the fries were a bit soggy as it appears the oil temperature was not sufficient, but the waitress took the cost off the bill without me even asking when she noticed I didn't eat the fries. I did order a baklava to go and rather than utilizing honey it appears they use a brown sugar syrup instead which does make the texture a little bit mushy. In all I would eat here again.

The falafel wrap was fresh with a delicious warm and chewy pita and what seemed to be smashed veggie patties of some sort but not what I would have recognized as fried falafel.
