The kabobs are perfectly seasoned and cooked, the rice is amazing, and the portions are generous enough that you definitely won't leave hungry. The lentil soup and garlic sauce are must-tries. Service is friendly and welcoming, and the whole place has that comforting, no-frills vibe where the food speaks for itself. Whether you're dining in or taking it to go, it always hits the spot. If you're craving authentic, satisfying Mediterranean food, this place is a gem. Highly recommend.

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!

However, the selection is really nice and this is the closest Middle Eastern market in the area. If you stop mindfully, you could have a good experience.

Stopped in for dinner as I was in town on business and it was super close to my hotel. I had the…read moregrilled chicken plate and it came with two sides. I elected the fresh veggies(squash, carrots and broccoli) and fries. It was a little weird that my fries were served to me within minutes of placing my order. They were hot and seasoned well. By the time my chicken meal came the fries were gone. I was not sad as I was hungry but it was a little strange to me. The chicken was a good portion and great flavor. It was also served with a dipping sauce that resembled taziki sauce but not sure it was. Regardless it was tasty. This is a place I would go to again. They had a decent crowd as there was a buffet available if one chose. I stuck to the menu and stayed clear of the buffet. First time in NC but I was introduced to a "dine in" fee. It is not a tip but for the privilege of eating at the restaurant. It was 10%. I have never heard of this in Texas.

It was Karaoke night and it was a blast! They had every single song you can think of in both English and Spanish. Hookah was great. Different flavors to choose from. Overall great ambiance and wouldn't mind coming again. All employees were efficient and friendly.

It was completely unnecessary, aggressive, and honestly humiliating. During the incident one of the guards had his arm around my neck to the point where I couldn't breathe and my necklace was ripped off in the process. At no point did anyone try to calmly speak to me or explain what the issue was. Being handled by multiple security guards like that felt excessive and unprofessional, especially in a place that's supposed to be about having a good time. Instead of basic communication, the situation immediately escalated to physical force. I would strongly caution anyone thinking about going here. A night out shouldn't end with you being physically dragged out by security with no explanation. There are plenty of lounges in the city that treat their guests with far more respect.

The kids meal has changed recently in terms of what is included but I'm still pleased with the option (as an adult). I got the lentils (they can be a little hard sometimes but this time they were nice and had a bite but weren't hard), hummus, I picked pita chips over the quarter pita) protein choice was chicken with cucumbers and roasted corn and garlic sauce on top. This used to be a half pita with choice of pita chips or carrots which I miss a little bit will still continue to get when I'm not super hungry. This location was friendly, quick and everything tasted fresh. Sorry I didn't snap a picture, I was too excited for the first, second and third bites.

But a good friend of mine said that they go all the time and haven't had any issues and wanted to get me to try it again. So, we went on a Saturday evening around 6ish. We didn't necessarily have any issues getting in, but the hostess did say that her security might have an issue with the shirt my friend had on, even though he was very dressed up. It made me uncomfortable and seemed threatning almost. But she let us in and everything was fine. I don't understand why Crave always acts this way. But then when I walk in I see people of non-color dressed any kind of way, casual, etc. It just really rubs me the wrong way and for it to happen to me EVERY time I go, only leads me to one conclusion... So, anyway. We were there and we ordered hookah drinks and had a good time. Our server was super sweet and chill. She really saved the visit. I had a good time, but I most likely will not be back again.

Basically everything was cleaned up for the night, but the staff absolutely came through for me. They had already put away most of the desserts and the chocolate dipped strawberries, but when my date went to the bathroom I asked if there was any way they could help me out, and they were incredibly kind about it. They managed to put together a slice of cheesecake for us and honestly made the whole night feel special. You can tell when people genuinely care about hospitality, and the team tonight really did. Super appreciative of the kindness and effort, especially that close to closing time. Y'all helped make a great memory.
