This place took me by complete surprise...in an amazing way. I was transported from Greensboro to…read morehalfway around the world for about 45min, and boy was it a great ride! Craving something Mediterranean, something international and authentic. Shish House popped up on my radar and I stopped in for an early weekday lunch. They have the usual and traditional Mediterranean dishes, but I wanted something different today. Went with some authentic Yemeni food. I ordered the Fahsah Lehm. This is a Saltah (traditional Yemeni stew) with melt in your mouth lamb that came out piping hot and bubbling in a clay bowl (see vid). You can feel, hear, smell and taste the authenticity in this dish. Spices and flavors flowing all over. It comes out with an amazing garlic sauce and a Yemeni style green sauce, almost like a salsa. And if that wasn't enough, you get the biggest clay oven bread (a Yemeni Malawah) you have ever seen. Words don't do it justice, see pics for details. This is honestly the perfect edible shovel. Tear some off, scoop up some bubbling lamb and spices, then drag it through the garlic and green sauce. Get messy...flavor the authenticity this dish explodes with. One of the best international experiences which transports you somewhere else. And it's just a small unassuming spot in the international corridor on Market St by Super G Mart. ***PLACES LIKE THIS DEFINE MY LOVE FOR FOOD, AND WHAT MORE FOOD CAN DO THAN JUST SATIATE HUNGER. TRULY AMAZING, AND A TRUE HIDDEN GEM.***

We walked in mid-day and were a little confused if we should sit ourselves or where to go. A lady…read morestood up from behind the counter and pointed to a table where we could sit. The menu is not too complicated. I ordered the chicken Sambosa. I think I would prefer if it was a vegetable Sambosa. I also ordered the lamb shawarma. It wasn't bad. I tasted my friend's hummus and tabbouleh. Both were good. The service was just ok. Our waitress dropped our drinks and food off and left us alone. The food wasn't bad. I think I would come again if I'm in the area. The mint lemonade was delicious. There isn't much to the decor or ambiance.

Been a while since I've been here but it's one of my faves! Got the mixed platter, the fish…read moresandwich, and the daily chicken curry special. My son gets fish sandwiches everywhere they have them and this is his absolute favorite. It's super crispy and a great textural combo with the bread. The mixed grill was great as always and this was our first time trying their curry. Yum! The food is always fresh, the guys are always working hard in the back and the service at the ordering desk is friendly. The prices are great and the portions are HUGE. We always have leftovers for lunch the next day. It's a little run down on the inside but fortunately doesn't affect the food It's large and roomy and they do have a lot of booths and tables. Make sure you check out the bakery next door!

I opted for to go and the food held up well to my 15 minute drive home. The falafel was hot and fresh and I got the chicken and steak over rice. I could have used a little more sauce but it was very flavorful and seasoned well. The protein was thinly sliced and it was a large portion. I ate some for dinner and lunch the next day and still had some left over. The environment is very calm and casual and would be great for a working lunch or lunch with friends. I'll definitely be back.

I was kind of down in the dumps, so I was so happy when Sally invited me for dinner on Sunday. We…read moreboth like Middle Eastern food and so we decided to try a new restaurant... Aladdin's Shawarma! How can you resist a restaurant with a name like that? LOL Aladdin's is conveniently located on West Market Street. Easy to find and easy to park. When we walked in, I felt like I was in another country, and I mean that in a good way. There were many families from foreign countries speaking different languages. In that the restaurant is halal, there were many Muslim families there as well. Always a good sign when ethnicities are eating at local restaurants of their own cuisine. The place was pretty full. I ordered the Arabian salad and added chicken and Sally ordered a mixed grill plate. Her plate was expensive but plentiful. Mine was expensive for what I got and quite small. I was disappointed, although it was tasty. I could tell Sally felt bad for me that my portion was so small since she shared some of her dinner with me! I am still struggling with how expensive everything has gotten in restaurants, and so I tried to take it all with a grain of salt when I am comparing a price with the portion, but in this case it was hard for me to justify over $15 for a small salad with one small skewer of chicken. So as far as atmosphere, location, taste of the food and service, it was all excellent. I just could not help but wonder if they could have given me more food for what I paid. It made me feel like I might have been better off eating at home or going somewhere else for a better value. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, or I need to accept that everything is much more expensive and portions are getting smaller. In either case, if you are looking for authentic Middle Eastern food in an authentic Middle Eastern atmosphere, Aladdin's Shawarma deserves a visit. I might consider trying them again, but ordering something else. I left hungry!

He also asked for a side of spicy sauce, which he loved. Nice clean, gender neutral restrooms. And the dining area was clean and the pacing of the food was on point.

I can't say enough good things about Odeh's Mediterranean kitchen. It's no wonder they are so busy…read moreand every server was busy delivering delicious dishes to every table in the packed dining room on a Tuesday night. I first discovered Odeh's when it was deemed the favorite restaurant by our local Yelp ambassador Erik and they had just a few tables in a small space with just counter service. Since then they have grown to add a larger dining room, table service and expanded their already delicious menu. There is nothing bad here and you can find something for every taste. I usually go with some sort of chicken dish but my husband has tried many of their other favorites and has loved them all. The portions are generous and I usually leave with a container for the next day.

I've been thinking about the Iskander Platter from Kapadokia Grill ever since I had it for the…read morefirst time here. So on a whim my husband and I stopped in for lunch. We didn't even need to look at the menu because we both wanted the Iskander Platter. Lucky we came in when we did because we got the last of it. Since having it the first time, I've watched a few recipe videos on how it's made. It's quite a process and takes a while so it's understandable they can't just make more quickly if they run out. This time it had a little different flavor than the last time. It had a saltier flavor and not quite as buttery as I remembered which was disappointing since that was the best part for me. It was still delicious but I was happy for the yogurt that helped cut the saltiness a little. Possibly the sauce became more concentrated since it was the end of the batch they had. I could only finish half because it's such a large portion but my husband finished his. The service was super friendly as always. The owners here are so lovely and always attentive. I will definitely be back again.

Just got back in town from traveling all summer for work. Was looking forward to a good breakfast…read moreand I've always wanted to try this place out. I was told it was a Greensboro staple, so why not while on this side of town. I seated myself. Ordered a Dr Pepper and it tasted really horrible and almost like a diet drink. It was changed out for a Pepsi. Food came out in about 20 minutes. I was appalled with the appearance of it. The scoop of grits given was a joke. I ordered my eggs over light because I love a runny egg. No runny egg at all. It was basically a fried egg. The corned beef has was scarce and burnt on the end. The grape jelly on the table molded, and I made sure to open at least 3 of them to see if I could find a better one. I did not find a better one. I honestly don't think they cared about the preparation of the food. The butter wasn't even spreaded on the toast and it was slathered like my picture on all sides and pieces. I won't be back. I tried to push forward but then I asked for a cup of Pepsi to go, the lid didn't fit and I was told that all of the lids were deformed like that, sooo, yeah, that sealed the deal.
