My wife and I had a nice surprise tonight. This was our first time for dinner. The hummus, stuffed grape leaves and falafel appetizer was excellent. Then we shared a chicken shawarma which was excellent. Highly recommend!!

Ben to Jerusalem restaurant 3 previous times. Gave a good review earlier-but this was a terrible experience.First the sauce with the appetizer was almost nonexistent- about 1 tablespoon each I requested more and was charged for it. Owner came around during meal asked about food I told Him the Lamb was grizzly- He replied that it had a little grizzle in it and left. At checkout He again asked about food I responded that the Chicken was over cooked and dry ( which it was burnt up) He proceeded to argue with me and told me I was wrong. I told him my wife tells me Iâm wrong sometimes but I donât have to come back here and I will not -Iâve never had an owner argue with me and I was not nasty just truthful it was terrible and he treated me terribly and I will not be back

A âChefâs Specialâ is often a dish with signature style, often offered seasonally and with limited availability. The ingredients are fresh and carefully selected. Think market by morning, prep and ready by evening. The Chef brings a rich history of experience and forte that has been picked up and refined. The dish is an extension of the chefâs self. It represents a narrative of his experiences expressed in flavor. This is at least how I imagine a âChefâs Specialâ. Chicken and Eggplant Fatteh (pronounced FAH-TEE), a unique and flavorful âChefâs Specialâ made by Chef Muhammad of Kabob G, drew my interest. Fatteh originated in Syria. It has since drawn influences from various cultures and regions through immigration and travel. The original dish consists of toasted or stale flatbread pieces, yogurt, chickpeas, and olive oil with other ingredients added depending on the cook and the region. âThere are many varieties of Fatteh, over 15 in Syria,â explained Muhammad. His take is a Lebanese Syrian fusion. Chicken and eggplant, a pairing not as common here as steak and potatoes, should be experienced in the way Muhammad presents. Itâs aromatic and flavorful as a dish of layers and textures. A spoonful may be creamy and tart, another savory and spicy. The spice is not of heat but with notes of mint, garlic, and parsley. The crunch of the pita, magnified essence of olive oil, and tenderness of the eggplant is nothing short of satisfaction. It is a dish that will leave you with nothing left to desire. Muhammad offered a look behind the curtain. A layer of toasted pita croutons topped with whole chickpeas is placed beneath a mix of homemade yogurt, sesame sauce, and garlic mint salad. A sharp knife slices chicken shawarma into delicate cuts to be combined with the lightly fried and diced eggplant. Almonds and pine nuts are sautéed, providing accentuated toasted flavor and great texture. With sweeping quick motions, parsley and tomato are chopped and plated. A heavy drizzle of virgin olive oil completes the plate. The ingredients are bright, fresh, and true to spring. Although not currently on their menu, Chicken and Eggplant Fatteh may be made upon request providing ingredient availability. Muhammad enthusiastically prepares and offers his dishes to the unfamiliar and familiar alike with a menu including chicken as well as beef fatteh that are sure to please.
