One thing I appreciate are how fresh the pitas and wraps are here - some places use stale pitas that are too bready and it ruins the entire meal. My biggest complaint is they're so far from me - come to Cornelius

Stopped in for the first time today for dinner…read more The BBQ plate came with a skewer of beef (well done-thank you!) and a skewer of chicken. It comes on a bed of rice. The only thing I didn't like is that the cold salad was put on top of the hot food. The meat was dry but had good flavor. It was $18 The chicken gyro was very good. We would definitely return for this flavorful food! By the way the glass in front of the food was very clean so shot out to the staff!

It is on my regular restaurant rotation list! Friendly staff with good service too.

The price is sott of reasonable otherwise they could do a lot better. I ordered lamb kabob. First one of the server kept turning up the music. The lyrics of the songs were obscene and nothing suitable in my opinion at a restaurant. His other co-workers kept changing the songs and turned the volume down But he was not happy about it. The food was just okay, I had maybe 5 small pieces of lamb that was dry. Bottoming, I probably will not stop by again.

Got their chicken sandwich with fries, lamb and shrimp skewers with rice and cauliflower. Everything tasted delicious and very flavorful. There lamb was not "gaemy" at all and very editable.

By the time we left around 7pm, it was packed and there was a line waiting to be sat. Wouldn't mind coming back for lunch and trying other options.

This is my vote for the best meal you can get at Optimist Hall. If you're looking for an appetizer I highly recommend the SPDP.

They have a huge menu with plenty of options, and everything we tried tasted great. It's primarily a restaurant, but you can also buy packed food items which is a nice bonus. We thoroughly enjoyed the food here. They served generous portions of babaganoush and hummus -- both were delicious. They also gave us complimentary lentil soup, and it was surprisingly good. For entrees, we ordered the lamb shank, which was juicy, tender, and absolutely amazing. The adana kabab was top notch with incredible flavor. The chicken shawarma and chicken kabab could have been a bit more tender, but still enjoyable overall. They also have a large selection of desserts on the menu, so definitely save some room if you can. Overall, we had a great experience at La Shish Kabob -- warm hospitality, big portions, and flavorful food. Would definitely go back!

One thing that still surprises me though: no baked beans on the menu. For a BBQ spot, that feels a little unusual. The proteins are good and consistent, but the sides are where things fall short for me. The mac and cheese in particular is pretty disappointing, which is tough because good sides can really elevate a BBQ meal. I'll still keep coming back because the overall vibe and service are great. That said, if we're talking about the BBQ crown in Charlotte, Midwood Smokehouse still holds that title for me. If the sides improved a bit, this place could easily move up a star for me.
