There is plenty space to dine in and I noticed several families dining in. The food was made to order but came out fairly quickly! It was hot, fresh and tasty! I enjoyed the pastries also they were fresh and just the right amount of sweetness. Give La Shish Kabob a try!

This is an order at the counter sit wherever kind of casual restaurant and the lively environment…read morereally exemplified how solid this restaurant is for lots of middle eastern people in charlotte. To start, The service was quick and the workers were very kind. I ordered the hummus and pita bread which comes served warm and the hummus is creamy and flavorful with a side of spicy green pepper and mayo which all complimented each other very well. I ordered the half chicken with yellow rice and while the flavor was unique and the rice was wonderful, the chicken was admittedly dry, which was a let down. The lentil soup on the side was creamy and had great flavor. On the flip side, my dad ordered the Greek salad with chicken kebab on top and that chicken was phenomenal with a great char and was super moist- I'll be sure to order this if I want chicken from here again. The salad was a very generous portion and came with loads of chicken, pickles, tomato, feta, olives, and the dressing was simple but paired perfectly- it was basically lemon juice and herbs. I also ordered the coconut-like cake (?) that they had on a side counter by the register where you can take as many slices as you want but I just took a pre portioned serving of 4 pieces. It was a mildly crumbly cake but it was incredibly moist with what I presume is a sweet syrup and coconut flakes on top. It was a great way to finish the meal. Overall, great food and would love to come back and try more menu items

I asked if it came from Restaurant Depot, a farm and if it was hand killed. These questions they have not answered.

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.

I had one of the worst experiences I've ever had at this lounge last night. Without any real…read moreexplanation or attempt to de-escalate the situation, three security guards physically grabbed and dragged me out of the venue. 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.

It's also in a good location because you can shop for things and grab some cava before or after doing so. Service is where it's gonna need some work. I completely understand how frustrating staffing shortages can be , ESPECIALLY during a lunch rush, but I think not projecting that frustration to the customer is also important. Besides those things, every person in there was working to the best of their ability...just wish I didn't feel like I was an inconvenience for a few seconds.

On this particular visit, I sat on the patio, which I had never done before, but it was nice and quiet and very relaxing on a Sunday evening. I ordered the cheesecake and it was garnished with caramel popcorn, which added a nice touch to look at, but the popcorn was stale so I don't really think it was necessary, but it did make the plate look pretty. The cheesecake was delicious. Couldn't finish it all, but I took it home and finished it the next day. Our server was great. She was very attentive, friendly, and gave good suggestions. Love Crave and I'll again and again.

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.
