Food was fine - lamb shush kebab plate and falafel dinner. Service was slow -- may have been short staffed. Tables were spaced apart so we were able to have a conversation without being drowned out by others around us.

Turkish Pie

Great Mediterranean cuisine. Had tried the Forest Hills restaurant and now first time trying this one on Metropolitan Avenue. What a great decision to go on a Friday night dinner experience. A few suggestions Shepherd's Salad, get the chicken vegetable soup for cold days, Turkish pie

I was brought here on a date a while back and it was actually a pretty good experience. Service is super courteous and kind, and the restaurant is decorated well and spacious with many tables to choose from. My date ordered the chicken kebab platter and I got the eskendar kabab which is my favorite Turkish dish ever. I did taste the chicken kebab on my date's plate, and I found it a little bit on the bland side. Eskander kebab was delicious and the serving was absolutely huge, which is great because this makes for amazing leftovers. It was swimming in clarified butter and a delicious tomato sauce, which is just how I remember it being when I had it in Turkey. I like that they cut up the bread and used it as a base because it's soaked up all the juicy goodness and butter and also makes it easy to heat up the dish the next day. I wish the lamb was a little bit more of a fatty cut than Gyro style shaved meat though. That is the only thing I would improve in this dish. Overall, we had a wonderful dinner here and I would definitely come back to try other things on their menu, especially the baklava. If you are in this part of town, definitely check this place out!!

Sauce and olives

I wasn't going to come back, but all for second chances. Last time here they had no air conditioning on a hot summer day. But last night it was a different sort of problem. Service just sucked. Don't get me wrong, they are polite and friendly, if they notice you. Came in and the two employees were having such a nice conversation minutes passed before they noticed me. But then, I order my simple gyro platter and in a third full restaurant, still waited almost 25 mins or more for dry, kinda stringy lamb doner. Pictures are of only two things worth my time. Sauce and fresh baked bread. Rice was good. But... yeah, never again. Maybe the one on Austin, but not this one.

OBA has become one of our go tos whether it be for take-out or dine in, we are always left satisfied. The hot falafel and hummus appetizer is delicious. The falafel is crispy and flavorful and the hummus is smooth and silky. The Baba ghanoush is an excellent version without being overly smokey like other versions I've had before. The Lahmacun is wonderful. The gyro plate which comes with rice and salad make for a wonderful meal. Platters come in small or large depending on how hungry you are, but the small is by no means small. Even their wraps are delicious. I haven't had a bad dish. Another bonus is that they are BYOB (at least still as of a month ago) which I always appreciate.

Lamb Gyro Lunch Special: $19.95. Take-out. Shown with rice, bread, and chicken soup.

BLUF: Lightly seasoned Turkish food. We've been here a few times to get the variations on the lamb döner for take-out -- as a gyro lunch special, as a pita, etc.. The lamb cuts are thin, moist, lightly seasoned and less greasy when compared with other places. I appreciate this healthy, lower-sodium approach. Single orders are packed with enough food to feed two people. The pita is good, with a buttery lightness, but both their tzatziki and red sauces are watered down. The red sauce seems to have more tang than heat.

A brand new Mediterranean spot on Metropolitan Ave with nice looking indoor and outdoor seating. Located several blocks away from Trader Joes. Lamb gyro (Doner): A generous portion of tender lamb shards in a pita stuffed with a garden salad of spinach, arugula, romaine, red cabbage, red onions and tomato slices. Perfect with white or red sauce. I prefer lots of the white sauce which gives the sandwich a perfect balance of flavor. If you like it spicy, give the red one a try. I will definitely come back for another one of these sandwiches. $9.25. Everything was fresh and tasty. The lamb was so delicious! The menu has a variety of different dishes to choose from seafood, shish kebab, vegetarian hot and cold appetizers and Turkish favorites. The restaurant was bustling with many customers who are eating in, taking out and delivering. Final note: Looking forward to trying out other dishes!

Ordered delivery. The chicken had hair in it, pita was stale, and tzatziki was slimey. I'd give it zero stars if I could.

Went to Kebab House for lunch today and it completely exceeded expectations. We ordered a pretty…read morewide spread: grilled salmon, hummus with fresh bread, chicken Adana kebab, grilled octopus salad, grilled eggplant, and grilled wild trout. Every single dish was outstanding--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. It was so good that we ended up doubling down and ordering another round of hummus plus two orders of chicken chop kebab to take home for dinner. That alone says everything. Each entrée came with rice and a side salad, which rounded things out perfectly. You can tell there's real attention to quality here--the chef clearly knows what they're doing, and we were told they only use premium-grade ingredients, never select. All the baking is done in-house, which shows in the freshness of the bread. What really stands out is how the food manages to be both incredibly delicious and genuinely healthy. Lots of olive oil, grilled preparations, minimal saturated fat, and great sources of omega-3s like the salmon--it's the kind of place you can eat at regularly without feeling like you're overindulging. The staff were just as impressive--attentive without being overbearing, checking in often and making sure everything was right. Honestly, if eating like this all the time is an option, it feels like a solid strategy for living long and well.

We had sigara borek and hummus as appetizers, and the hummus in particular was so fresh and flavorful - definitely the best hummus I have ever had. We ordered a couple of entrees and unfortunately the wrong food came out. We didn't initially realize and thought they had put out two meals on the platter (and they were just small portions) and included some extras as well, until our waiter came over a few minutes later and apologized. Unfortunately, because we received the mixed grill instead of our two chicken entrees, the solution of charging us the price for the mixed instead of our two meals only took roughly $10 off the bill but resulted in us having less than half of the food we otherwise would've had. That aside, the food was delicious enough that Kebab House still warrants five stars and we will be back, just more aware of what to expect as far as portions.
