    My lunch special! Not pictured was the bread which was a huge piece!
    Caroline J.

    Back in the area, and stopped in for another delicious meal. Food: Gyro platter sandwich included a lot of meat which was nice and flavorful. Chicken lunch kebab special was just as large and tasty as last time. Plenty of food for two meals. The gentleman gave each of us in our party of four a small cup of coup which was very tasty. The gentleman who took our order was very nice and he also was the one who prepared it, and everything was done well. It seemed that it had been renovated inside and we sat inside to eat while our gold was hot.

    One of my go to kabob restaurants in the area! Really good food and great customer service. Staffs are always very nice and friendly! If you have large orders they always help you carry the items to your car. I always have a great experience every time I go there.

    This place is easily accessible from Springfield. It's more of a takeout place but there are around ten chairs if you want to stop by and eat. The Super Combo has Lamb, Beef and Chicken. The beef had a lot of flavor. The chicken was moist and tender as well as the lamb. This combo is huge so it's definitely shared. I ordered the potato curry as my side. I just ordered an extra Naan and boom, dinner for two. I will certainly be coming back.

    Lesson learned. Stick with what you know, and you can't go wrong. My wife and I hadn't visited this place in a year. The good news is that Ali is still the owner. The bad news is that when he's away, the food isn't as good tasting. Come to find out, he's off on Sundays, and we visited on a Sunday. We tried a new dish instead of our usual gyro sandwich and lamb chops. We shared a Super Jumbo Kabob. It had Quabili Palau and Chalau mixed together and one skewer of each: lamb, chicken, and shami. It was supposed to be served with meat sauce. If you look at my photo, you'll see that the meat sauce was missing. It came with a side dish, Afghan naan, and two sauces. One sauce was green and very spicy hot. The other was white and tasted like mayonnaise with seasoning and herbs. It wasn't tzatziki sauce because it didn't have yogurt. Unless it's a new version because the tzatziki sauce we had before didn't taste like this. The sauces were edible and forgettable. 1) Quabili Palau and Chalau Chalau is an Afghan rice dish made of basmati rice, oil, spice, and salt. The spice is usually cumin. The Chalau here is made with brown basmati rice instead of white. It had a light curry and nutty flavor with a hint of sweetness and saltiness. Quabili Palau was raisins, onions, spices, and sweetened carrots added to the Chalau. It was rather sweet. The taste grew on me. 2) Lamb Kabob It was marinated and broiled. One end of the kabob was cooked well, and the other end was somewhat dry. It had light flavors of garlic and spices. The spices were mildly hot with flavors like paprika, coriander, cumin, and ginger. It was okay. 3) Chicken Kabob It was chicken breast meat that was tender, moist, and flavorful. The chicken was coated with a red marinade that tasted like tomato, turmeric, paprika, salt, and pepper. The flavors were balanced and worked well together. It was cooked well except for some charred edges. This was the best kabob. Everyone there who was eating a kabob had this one. 4) Shami It was a mix of ground beef and minced beef that was lightly seasoned with spices. It was described as ground beef, but that's not what we got. The beef was easy to chew but dry. It had very light flavors of cumin, clove, garlic, salt, and pepper. The blend didn't help the savoriness of the beef. I don't advise getting this. 5) Sabzi This was our side dish. It was supposed to be fried spinach. It was boiled. The missing fried flavor was disappointing. It was better before. The spinach was in an oily sauce that had light flavors of coriander, salt, pepper, and garlic. The sauce was good. 6) Afghan Naan It was much larger and thicker than other naan. The crust was crisp, and the crumb was fluffy, soft, and chewy. It had a toasted flavor with a hint of salt. The service was polite, responsive, and helpful. The dining room and restrooms were clean and somewhat worn looking. They have self-serve plasticware, straws, napkins, and green tea with cardamom. The tea was free. They are located in a shopping center with free parking. The food wasn't very good except for the naan and chicken kabob. We'll return on a day when the owner is here, and then I'll write an update. The old adage is true. When the cat's away, the mice will play.

    Ordered the A7 - shami kabob. Friendly joyous ambiance. The food was well flavored and the spices danced together with a harmony that heats the soul. I was kindly given soup during my short wait for the kabob dish. Great service!

Overall, a decent drop in experience. Very convenient if you are headed to Home Depot, Staples, or pure Hockey.

    Where should one go if they want the most tender of lambs with food the slaps the living out of…read moreyou? There are many answers but the answer for today is Marib. Marib is a Yemeni restaurant located in a strip of restaurants and grocery stores originating from different parts of the world. Marib knows how to do their lambs. Ordered the hummus with lamb and it came with a crisp yet fluffy bread. Then ordered a Lamb Haneeth and let me tell you NOT ONLY the lamb is tender but the rice is so flavorful!

This was my first experience at a Yemeni restaurant, and it turned out to be an incredibly pleasant and flavorful introduction. We were served half a lamb, head included, laid beautifully on a large platter of rice. But first, the restaurant itself. It was refreshing to see a place that uses real cutlery, proper plates, and actual tablecloths. I much prefer tables and chairs over booths, which often give off a fast-food chain vibe. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, though there was some drilling and repair work going on--likely related to safety or exit signage--so that's understandable. Now to the food. The rice was fluffy and deeply infused with flavor from the lamb, clearly absorbing the richness of the long, slow cooking process. The broth had rippled into the rice, creating an incredible depth of taste. If you've had biryani, this was somewhat similar, but with its own distinct character. The lamb itself was exceptionally tender--falling off the bone and melting in the mouth. For anyone who usually avoids lamb due to its strong aroma, this dish is a must-try; there was no overpowering "lamb smell" at all. The meal was accompanied by a fresh salad and two side sauces--one tomato-based and another green sauce that was extremely spicy, so proceed with caution. The mint lemonade deserves a special mention: easily the best I've had. Not overly sweet, clearly made from fresh ingredients, and perfectly balanced. We ended the meal with tea and a warm dessert that was buttery, comforting, and topped with cream--an excellent finale. This was a completely new culinary experience for me, and I left the restaurant feeling like my palate had leveled up. Highly recommended--definitely a place worth checking out
