    Did not even know this place existed. I was impressed. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. I will definitely be going back!

    Unprofessional Service and Surprise Charges

    Never Again -- Unexpected Table Fee Scam I visited this place with my family, and the experience was extremely unprofessional. They secretly added a table charge without informing us at any point. I only came to support them, but I will never return after this. There was no notice, no sign, and no explanation that we would be charged an extra $17.58 just to sit at a table that was no different from any regular one. For seven people, we were simply seated--nothing special, yet they added a hidden fee. The cashier, Hassna, also failed to mention anything about this charge. This is unacceptable, misleading, and untrustworthy. I will not be coming back, and I don't recommend this place to anyone

    Kabab always tastes good .

    Kabob always tastes soooooooooooooooo good . 100% Totally recommend it for lunch or dinner. Staff are consistently lauded for being attentive. keeping service upbeat and tables tidy . even during busy buffet hours . Shish Kabob Café offers a delightful, no-fuss Mediterranean dining experience.

    Shish Kabob Cafe Every time I am off of Coit road, I have to stop by here for lunch. This is an amazing Mediterranean buffet. The food tastes very fresh and very well prepared. Some things on this menu will amaze you. You just have to try everything. There does seem to be one waitress in here most of the time and she is doing an amazing job keeping up with everyone.

I visited this restaraunt for the first time and genuinely enjoyed everything I ordered. Starting off with appetizers, my friend and I ordered the pan shared halloumi cheese. This is paired with tomatoes and fig jam and is a wonderful accompaniment to the complimentary bread and olives served for the table. I'm a big fan of halloumi in general but this one was particularly cooked well and a must order for next time. For main entree I ordered Hunkar Begendi, which is sautéed marinated lamb tenderloin with red and green bell peppers over creamy eggplant puree. The lamb was in fact tender and perfectly seasoned and the eggplant puree went very well with the slight gaminess of the meat. I enjoyed this dish overall and it didn't feel too heavy, which sometimes is the case when I eat lamb. The pieces of meat were cut small enough while not being super tough, which I appreciated. I would definitely recommend this restaraunt if you enjoy trying Mediterranean fusion spots!

    My husband and I hosted our rehersal dinner on the top floor of The Mayor's House on a Sunday…read moreevening in April, with a final guest count of 75--and it was truly perfect. We initially discovered the restaurant back in January when we dined there and immediately fell in love with the food, service, and atmosphere. That same night, we inquired about hosting a larger event (around 80 guests) and secured our April date with a deposit. From the very beginning, working with Jenna, the manager, was seamless. We communicated though text, which made planning easy and stress-free. Jenna curated a limited menu for our guests featuring popular dishes she personally recommended--chicken, beef, lamb, and vegetarian options--which made ordering simple while still offering great variety. She was also incredibly flexible with seating arrangements and accommodated exactly how I wanted guests placed. One detail I especially appreciated was her willingness to honor special requests--she arranged for a tres leches cake from a local bakery for dessert, which was a huge hit. On the day of the event, Jenna met me an hour early so I could set up extra decorations like flowers, a banner, and place cards. That extra time made a big difference and helped everything feel personal and organized. As guests arrived, we had them go directly to their assigned seats--which I highly recommend for a group this size, as it fills up quickly. The staff immediately began service with starters (hummus, salad, and bread), and they were quick to take both food and drink orders. Everything came out promptly, and the service throughout the evening was incredibly attentive and responsive. Every single guest had something positive to say about their meal and dessert, which says a lot when hosting a group this large. After dinner, the staff cleared tables efficiently, and we were able to enjoy the balcony space--an absolute highlight. It provided the perfect backdrop for photos with family, overlooking the Dallas skyline. At the end of the night, Jenna checked in with us to debrief, mentioning that the assigned seating helped her team provide faster, smoother service--which we definitely noticed. Not only did we have an amazing event, but we also felt like we built a genuine connection with her. She struck the perfect balance of being both professional and personable.

We were seated promptly, but there were no clean high chairs available, so we had to wait a few minutes while one was cleaned. That wasn't a big deal. After about 10 minutes, our server finally came over to take our drink and food order. From there, things went downhill. We waited around 30 minutes without our server checking on us once, while tables that were seated after us began receiving their food. After about 45 minutes, we decided to ask for our order to be packed to go. That's when we found out our original server had already left without handing our table off to another employee. Our order had been entered into the system but was never brought out, and no one noticed. What made the experience even more frustrating was that there were several employees standing around at the front and only a couple of other tables in the restaurant. It was surprising that no one realized we'd been sitting there without food or service for so long. I was genuinely excited to try this highly rated restaurant, but instead I ended up wasting an hour and a half. No one attempted to make things right or offered any apology beyond explaining what happened. I would also encourage the staff to be mindful of communication when interacting with customers. If a customer asks a question, it's best to answer them directly in a language they understand. Speaking among yourselves in another language during a service issue can easily create the impression that you're talking about the customer, even if that's not the intent. Based on my experience, I can't recommend this restaurant. I hope they improve their customer service because the food may be good, but the service needs significant attention

Rishi took our phone call and ensured that we had a table waiting for our group of three when we arrived. The restaurant was about 50% full when we got here.

The staff was apologetic however little curious, considering the fact that the restaurant was not that busy. For an appetizer, we ordered the roasted cauliflower and the flaming Saganaki. Both of which were delicious. Then followed that with a Mediterranean salad (not realizing that our entrees came with salads, lol). And for our entrees: Mediterranean Moussaka, chicken kabob for the kiddo and the 24 hour braised lamb shank for me. Dessert was the Kunafa- a new flavor explosion like I had never experienced before.
