Both were delicious and well portioned. The guvec (veggie casserole) had eggplant, mushrooms, peppers, carrots, and other veggies plus rice and a small salad. The delight had carrots, eggplant, tomatoes, mushrooms, peppers, served on top of hummus and walnuts. The food was delivered quickly given the restaurant was full on a Friday night. Good thing we made reservations, which we will do again when we return.

This former residence has long ago been transformer into an unique eatery. You can still see the…read moreformer layout, but the rooms now all connect. The entire place is covered with the evil eye charms, so you should definitely be safe here. I highly recommend reservations because they sure get busy. And while the ambiance is great, you really cannot linger for long, as there are usually folks waiting to get a seat. The menu is quite extensive and offers plenty for carnivores and vegetarians alike. I opted for the Iskender, which is crisp pita bread pieces topped with meat slices, all of it doused in a savory tomato based sauce and topped with dollops of yoghurt. The bread has little crisp edges and together with the meat and toppings gives you like a mini sandwich in your mouth. Simply delicious. The Turkish spices bring a wonderful flavor to the dish. I highly recommend it. Hat to admit it, but I have not been too impressed with the tzaziki on previous visits. It was somewhat runny and bland, but I haven't had in a while. Street parking is limited, but in the summer there is a gravel lot on the side of the neighboring building. However when it snows, parking can be a bit of a problem, so be aware.

usually try to support local restaurants, but this experience at Kebab Grill was very…read moredisappointing, especially for a takeout order that cost over $90. I called ahead and ordered: 2 kebab sandwiches 2 falafel sandwiches 2 kibbeh orders baba ghanoush fattoush salad The employee on the phone told me the order would be ready in 20 minutes. When I arrived, I was told it would actually be another 17 minutes. I waited in my car, came back after that time passed, and then was told "maybe 13 more minutes." The biggest issue was not just the wait -- it was the lack of honesty and time management. If the restaurant had simply said from the beginning that they were behind and needed closer to an hour, I would have understood. What frustrates customers is being repeatedly given inaccurate wait times. People plan their schedules, families, and evenings around the times restaurants provide. After waiting inside, sitting directly in front of the counter, I watched the cook START preparing parts of my order almost an hour after I originally placed it. Items like the baba ghanoush, salad, and kibbeh -- foods that are usually already prepared -- were only assembled then. Meanwhile, customers who arrived after me and ordered at the restaurant were served before my takeout order was completed. Unfortunately, the food quality also suffered from the long delay: The sandwiches were soggy The salad had water pooled at the bottom and no dressing The kibbeh was soaked in grease For the amount paid, I expected much better service, communication, and food quality. A simple apology and realistic timing would have made a huge difference.

Boy, am I glad that I did! There are 2 distinct seating areas. Near the window there is the traditional Turkish sit-on-the-floor area. Towards the back are conventional tables (no booths). What the sign in front failed to mention is that when you order from the lunch buffet ($15), you also get to choose 1 item off the appetizer as well. (If you want to see what was on the buffet the day that I went, look at the attached pictures. There is also a photo of the appetizer menu.) This is a family-run business and service is extra friendly and fast. Note: If you pay with cash, there is a 5% discount.

They have 4 tables to sit at after ordering at the counter or they do to go orders. They have music playing which was a little loud but other than that it's a nice clean little restaurant. The menu bored is a little different than the paper menu I took pics of I ordered the curry chicken spicy and it was so flavorful. The chicken was juicy and tender. Ordering it spicy gave it the perfect balance. It comes with a little side of rice which was really good as well. Hubby ordered the lamb shawarma over rice and it was really good. Could use more lamb pieces. The tzatziki sauce was really good might ask for extra next time. We got an order of samosas which was 2. They were huge. It's a puff pastry dough filled. I'm not sure exactly what's in the filling but they were the best ones I've had anywhere. The sauce that comes with them is a little sweet but compliments them well. We also got 2 orders of garlic naan bread and they are huge pieces we could have gotten just 1. Taste very similar to garlic breadsticks. Highly recommend giving this place a try.

After deciding we'd like to have something along the lines of gyros we found this great little place. They are amid construction and chaos outside but that didn't stop us from finding our way in, we were hungry. We were welcomed right away and got our drink orders. We chose hummus which was served quickly and was oh so good. Super fresh, drizzled with olive oil and served with warm pita bread- which was refilled promptly when we got low at no extra cost. We both ordered gyro bowls, we never order the same thing but it just sounded good to each of us. The plates came and everything that was supposed to be hot was hot, what was supposed to be cold was cold and every bite delicious. I wast expecting anything special of the fries, I mean it's a Mediterranean place, so I felt like they were just kind of a side to the dish. They were amazing, the seasoning just right ... yum! The portions were plentiful and we took leftovers home. We don't often get dessert but the baklava was calling so we got one to share and the staff brought us a little sample of another dessert they were considering for the menu Something along the lines of a coconut macaroon that was super buttery and sweet. My husband got the Turkish coffee to go with dessert and if you've never had it, it is a sweet treat in itself. We both walked out saying we want to come back next time we are in the area, or we may possibly make the trip just for the meal if we get a hankering for Mediterranean food. The staff said they would be closed for a short time for some remodeling, but that wouldn't take long. It was a few weeks ago when we were there so it may have all already happened. This is certainly a place to stop by!

Same great staff, same cool space, same open kitchen where a party of one like me can grab a counter seat and watch the chefs do their thing. I've honestly always enjoyed that part of the experience. Today I had the avocado toast with feta and an egg on top, and it totally hit the spot. Earlier this week I tried one of the newer menu items -- fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy, plus a sample of jalapeño cornbread and Asian slaw. Incredible comfort food. And as someone who normally isn't much of a slaw person, I was surprised by how much I loved it. They also tried to tempt me with the roast beef special, which honestly looked great, but at 10:30 in the morning I just couldn't fully commit to roast beef yet. Maybe next time. The new name is a nice tribute to the owner's mother, Arleen, but thankfully it still feels like the Milktooth so many of us have come to enjoy over the years. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't been in awhile.

However -- I was quite surprised, even shocked, that they charged a 3.5% surcharge to use my credit card (using cash would not have incurred such a charge) !!! This is the FIRST TIME I have encountered such a charge in the USA. Also, there was no warning in advance. Given how unusual this is (and I stress, *unique* in my experience numerous dining experiences), the waitstaff could at the very least tell you about such a charge *before* you give them your credit card and they run it through! (I wonder, is this even legal?) An extremely unpleasant experience, and because I had guests with me, I did not want to quibble on the spot.
