If I hear someone tell me the food at Shish-kabobs is "the worst food they ever had," it makes me suspicious of their tastes in general.  [:O]

I admit I don't eat "Mediterranean" food that often-- but have eaten at several middle eastern places in Chicago over the years. And I used to live in Chicago's Little Pakistan where I enjoyed going to different restaurants there for Chicken Biryani, Vendaloo, etc... it was actually a former-Chicagoan who recommended Shish-kabobs to me when I moved to Tulsa...

I usually get the kabobs for lunch and never see even a smudge of "grease" from those kabobs on the basmati rice.

I once got one of their stews I wasn't crazy about, but other than that, it fit the bill.  The cabbage rolls I ate that could have been greasy... weren't.    

Some of the restaurant experiences I read about on this forum remind me of why I was so hesitant to move to the apt complex I live at around 41st and Garnett... people told me this area of town was "horrible" and how their experience at a similar apt complex was "a nightmare."

To each his own.  I'll continue to eat lunch regularly there... [;)]






Okay, that does it.  I will try the place myself and see what I think.  I don't like greasy food regardless of which country/city/town it's from[}:)]

Will try to report back at some point,

Maybe OETA should start a restaurant review show like this one...

Check Please!

What happens is they get three different people each week (i.e.-- a Real Estate broker, a hairdresser, and an urban housewife)... and each of the three recommends a favorite restaurant.  All three of these people eat at all three restaurants and give their reviews...

Would be curious to see the Tulsa version...  [:P] ...bad idea?!?

We go eat at Shishkabob's about once a month...

They have a great gyro platter which we swap the fries for the jasmine rice.

Now that is good!   And with rice instead of fries, no grease at all.

I love your idea about the review.  So how do we get this started?[?]
