    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.

    The buffet was pathetic. I had high expectations but felt utterly dissatisfied. The kabobs were burnt too. Please avoid this place.

    I'm going to post a review and it says this place is permanently closed?? I ate here so recently!…read moreNot sure this is correct. We went for brunch, which I will admit is overpriced. $75pp before drinks? Wow. Definitely go hungry. Were we mad at it though? Definitely not. There was so much to try, I loved the sushi bar, the kids loved the dessert bar, especially the chocolate fountain. The location is nice and upscale and it's a nice place to go celebrate something. I hope it's not actually closed!

    Went last night to celebrate my birthday. I've always wanted to go to Komodo ever since I moved to…read moreTexas which was 4 years ago. It was my very first time going to Komodo and the first time experience was not the greatest. Before I go into my review, I did enjoy the ambiance, decor and food. The food was actually really good and the portions were decent. I ordered the wagyu beef dumplings and garlic noodles for starters. I initially chose the Peking duck and was super excited to try it. This is where it started to downhill... As we were ordering starters and drinks, the drinks came out fairly quick and the starters did take about 15-20 minutes which I understand it was a Saturday night. After most of the appetizers came out, we decided to order our entrees because we noticed how long the appetizers took. About hour and some time goes by, the waiter comes back to tell me they just ran out of Peking duck. Which was disappointing so I quickly ordered the Korean fried chicken. The timing with how they ran out the entrees was a whole mess. There were two food runners that were confused with the food orders. 1 of 8 of my friends got their food way before all of us, we had waited an additional 15 minutes before 2 more entrees came out. Oh! My second appetizer (garlic noodles) still haven't come out yet and some of my friends had their entrees....My Korean fried chicken came out but it was fairly quickly so I'm not sure they just threw it in real quick for an apology of taking so long. Two of the breasts we're hard and tough to cut. So then we waited and waited for my very last friend to get her Lo mein...it was an extra 45 minutes until she was able to get her food!!!!! Unacceptable. I was so irritated about that and just ruined the mood. We were all done eating our food by then. We were already frustrated and ready to go at that point, but as soon as she got her food, the veggies were undercooked and it was an overall upsetting situation. I wish I had a better outcome and better celebration for my birthday. I would only recommend this place if you have nothing to do..because you will be waiting for your food for a long time. I suggest to eat before you go and by the time you digest, your food will be ready

    We were visiting from out of town and decided to celebrate my daughter's 11th birthday at this…read morerestaurant. From the moment we arrived, the experience felt special. Upon check-in, we were offered a complimentary drink before heading upstairs, where we checked in again and were escorted to our table. The waiting area was beautiful and offered stunning views of downtown. My daughter ordered the 8-ounce filet mignon with a side of macaroni and cheese, while I chose the salmon steak with mashed potatoes. My daughter's steak was cooked to a perfect medium-rare, and she absolutely loved it. My salmon was also excellent and came with a delicious caviar butter sauce that complemented the dish perfectly. For dessert, my daughter ordered the Crown Block Sundae, which came with a variety of toppings. Since it was her birthday, the staff brought it out with sparklers and "Happy Birthday" written on the plate, which was a thoughtful and memorable touch. Our waiter was friendly and courteous, but he wasn't as attentive to our table as he seemed to be with some of the others nearby. One thing to note is that an 18% gratuity is automatically added to the bill. After presenting the check, our waiter mentioned that any additional tip would go directly to him. I found that comment a bit unusual, as it could imply that the automatic gratuity is not fully distributed to the service staff. Overall, we had a wonderful experience, and it was well worth it for such a special occasion. While the food, atmosphere, and views were excellent, this is definitely a splurge, so be prepared to spend a significant amount if you dine here.

    That was our second dine-in restaurant during our week-long stay In Dallas, after Texas Road House…read more I cancelled my reservation, and we arrived at the first floor entrance around 7PM, June 25, 2026. We waited like 20 minutes, which was acceptable. And they were around 15 customers waiting too. Ibrain was the waitor and it was perfect timing. We could watch sunset during the dinner time. I picked Gnocchi Pasta which smelled awsome, and the cocktail was French Kiss. My wife picked 8OZ filet mignon(medium well) with side dish, asparagus.
