Sticks Kebob Shop in Charlottesville is a great spot for a quick, healthy meal. The food is usually tasty, and the baklava is outstanding. The place is usually clean. The service is mostly prompt and polite.

Salad platter
Margaret H.

Surprised that this place only has 3 stars, I was really happy with my lunch! I thought the food all tasted very fresh. It wasn't greasy, the salad wasn't soggy, and it was bursting with flavors! I ordered the salad with two sticks that included the falafel and chicken, and swapped for the cilantro lime dressing. As I said the food was great, service was quick, and it was light but had me full for the rest of the afternoon. Will be back again!!

Beef Platter with rice, salad, and hummus.

Sticks is always a good spot to pick up a hearty meal. Call in orders are easy to place and it is ready when you walk in the door. They have also catered staff meals for work. The quality of the food is great either way. I typically get the 2 stick platter. I don't typically get the lamb, but the steak and chicken are both great choices. It comes with a small side salad, rice, and a side. I typically get hummus for the pita bread.

Sticks Kebob Shop / Preston Ave: Debris and crumbs on table and/or seat.
Kimberly-Gretchen B.

It's Autumn. Leaves fall from trees. You need to rake them, sweep them, or possibly blow them away. They're not a health hazard. Not a fall risk, unless they're wet. But it suggests to me that you don't care one whit about the appearance of your store. And it wouldn't hurt to wipe down the tables after diners leave. End of rant. Other than that, I mostly like Sticks Kebob Shop. Yesterday was my first visit to a shop with "Kebob" in the name. The first thing I noticed was that nearly all tables had crumbs & debris on the surface and/or on the seat. Ick. So I ordered a Platter with Fresh Herbed Chicken, Cucumber Yogurt Sauce, and [Fried] Onion Rings. After paying, I tried to find a clean table. The high-tops seemed cleaner than others. so I snagged one and sat in the stool that was bolted to the floor. Yikes! While the stool's pillar seemed securely bolted to the floor, the seat was decidedly not securely connected to the pillar, and wobbled with an unsettling looseness.. Two other stools I checked had the same wobbly problem. I had to settle for a less-than-squeaky-clean 4-top. My food came out on a slightly warped plastic tray with a sturdy plastic plate containing the food, the Fresh Herbed Chicken Kebob, White Rice, Onion Rings, Pita,, and a tiny Salad. The tray itself was also wobbly, but when I transferred the plate to the table top, everything seemed secure. I proceeded to enjoy my meal. Onion Rings first. Very good. I snarfed down the lot of them, about 6. The Fresh Herbed Chicken on the skewer was quite good. I wanted to eat each piece of Fresh Herbed Chicken with a bit of Rice, but the Rice was disappointing. No flavor, and it was clumpy. So I merely dipped each piece of FHC in the Cucumber Yogurt Sauce, which was very good, worth repeating. SKS has 3 locations, 2 in C'ville and one in the Richmond area. I plan to check out the Richmond store soon. Hopefully the personnel in that store will care more about the appearance of the store. And I sure hope they know how to cook Rice.

My wife and I love coming to Sticks. The Kabobs are always phenomenal, the rice delicious, the sauces flavorful, and the homemade hummus is some of the best I've ever had. I recommend getting a beef and chicken Kabob if this is your first time as both taste great and they are both safe options. The creamy cilantro lime sauce is also a great compliment for these two kabobs. The hummus you can get as a side will come with a few pieces of Pita bread (one Pita cut into slices) but you will more than likely want to order more pita for the amount of hummus they give you (it's a dollar for a few additional slices I believe). Make sure you get some of the spicy red sauce from the tall plastic containers from where you pick up your order as it is a great dipping sauce for your meal. The inside of the restaurant is clean, the outside area is alright though it's in the direct sunlight. Getting in and out of sticks can be tough due to the one way traffic flow and its proximity to a stop light.

Chicken and beef platter with a side of hummus and fire roasted red pepper sauce. It comes with rice and flatbread.
Wendy M.

Sticks is a good place for a quick meal if you want something other than hamburgers, pizza, etc. It's an especially good deal with the BOGO Attractions Book coupon. This visit, I got a chicken and beef platter with hummus as the side and fire roasted red pepper sauce. Platters are served with rice and flatbread. Chicken was better than the beef this time, will probably go all chicken next time. A nice option for weekday takeout.

I tend to go here with family when we visit Charlottesville and have other things to do in town…read more(catch a UVA game, movie, etc.). Even when they were very busy, the wait for a seat is rather short. It's mainly four-top seats but they can push together tables as needed. There's music always playing and not a lot of padding to soften noise so I'd call the location "average" loud. Downtown Charlottesville doesn't really do free parking. You can park at the next corner in open parking to the left or paid parking to the right. But we're talking $2 or so, not a bank-breaking experience and with lots of shopping across the street it's worth staking out a spot and then walking the area. What I like: The food is tasty. The appetizers are solid. There's a large enough menu that you can always try something new. And the portions are ample enough to share. What I'm not so fond of: The waitstaff spend a lot of time at the front scrolling on their phones. They aren't too keen on refilling your drinks either. I say this as someone who has eaten here about a dozen times. Also, I don't normally mind cameras, but there are enough blinking lights on cameras to make it feel more like a jewelry store than a restaurant. That said, if you are not in a hurry, want some good food in solid portions, and plan to do some shopping or window shopping downtown, this has been my go-to place for years.

This restaurant is a prominent corner space and offers a some regional ambiance. The food includes…read moresome vegetarian choices typical of Mediterranean cuisine, and the platter I got included a bunch of them. It's largely cold items and salads and was ready almost immediately. There were one or two things in there I didn't like, but with a sampler this size you've got options. Their spiced mashed potatoes and white bean salad were notably flavorful. A pomegranate tea tasted a bit too much like juice and not enough like tea for me. I'd just get a plain tea if I had to choose again. Having said that, I needed some variety in my diet and I was happy to have received it here.

There is such a wonderful blend of spices in their dishes. The lunch menu entrees run $15 and up. They come with your choice of entree, soup or salad, naan, rice and the side of the day. The side on this day was peas in a curry/cumin type sauce. I expected I would just try the peas and move on but they were delicious, and I ended up eating the whole thing. The lentil soup is blended so there are not actual lentils pieces. It had a bit of a kick and very good flavor. I ordered the Sabjiwaia with chicken and medium spice. I could easily move the heat up a notch as the medium was very tolerable. It was very good as well as the rice and naan. Some of my fellow diners ordered the Chicken Tikka Platter which I would try the next time. The chicken is whole pieces, and it's not smothered in a heavy sauce. The sauteed vegetables were also separate. The service was on point so no complaints there. I would definitely return!

It was pretty good, it had a slightly spiced flavor to it but I wasn't sure what the spice was. We ordered the chili milli gobhi, samosa, butter chicken, and garlic naan. I liked the chili milli gobhi a lot. I wasn't expecting it to be fried, but I enjoyed it, and it was covered in some sort of chili sauce. The samosa was pretty good, I liked the sauces it came with. The butter chicken was just fine, I feel like I have had better, but it was very saucy which I liked. The naan was pretty good. I liked our server, she was nice and seemed to know the menu. The restaurant was nice inside and had a good ambiance.

Positive review, but I was as little disappointed to see the chicken portion of the mezah classic. I bought the felafel classic and the mezah classic, and to make sure the main proteins (felafel and chicken) were proper, I purchased the boost option for both bowls. So should have been double chicken and felafel. I wouldn't have felt justified complaining about the felafel bowl or the portion (was true double and what was expected), but the chicken portions were pretty sad in my fair opinion. The additional chicken was placed in a separate container. At first glance, just looking at said container, I thought it was light, considering I paid about $33 for two bowls (same price each). When I sat down to eat the mezah classic (with the double meat) at the end of the day, I noticed that the amount of meat in the bowl, was about a 4th of the amount of chicken that was in the separate container that I thought was light. I could see my self purchasing the felafel bowl again at some point, and maybe explore some of their other options. We need places like this as alternatives to less healthy options, but I would like to be able to rely a little more on reasonable expectations of portions (excluding felafel bowl - no complaints, and haven't explored other dishes). I think this review is fair considering the said price I paid, but maybe I should be a little lighter with my constructive criticism considering the variety of micronutrients as a convenience purchase without breaking the bank, as that's something worth appreciating. Best of luck.
