The Grill House: Reviews & Ratings
On my first time here I ordered the middle eastern platter with rice and it was really good. The customer service was excellent even though it is a small place with small seating area. At the time it was getting packed with to go orders. So far good first impression.
Food is very good but ordered delivery and they simply left food on my doorstep and did not call or ring my door bell. I called to see what the problem was and the asked me to check for the food. Wow.
To begin with, the place is known by many names. Food is Arabic, I believe closer to Yemeni as the area is now known as lilttle Yemen. I had the classic beef and chicken kebab as a Gyro but I made it to a point to have it made to my specs. Good place for a take away!
I ordered the Grill House Platter. The meats were really good.The only reason they don't have 5 stars is because the menu said I would be getting the platter over grilled veggies and I received them over plain white rice.
This place is a small spot with basic kafta kebabs, rice, salad, hummus and chicken kebabs. Nothing fancy, just fresh kebabs cooked on the grill. I got the kefta kebab, a bit too thin, and chicken kebab which was tasty with rice/salad. Check them out if you're in that area.
No frills type of restaurant but the food holds a lot of flavor. For the price you're paying, you get a large portioned, flavorful meal. I've come here multiple times for lunch during the week days, and I haven't been disappointed once. My favorite is probably the roast and the chicken kabob with rice and veggie stew. The green chutney on the side is BOMB. The hummus is really really great as well! I recommend everything here to be honest, but these are what I've tried so far: - half roasted chicken with veggie stew and yellow rice - chicken kabobs with veggie stew and yellow rice - salmon with veggie stew and yellow rice - lamb mendi, which is like a pot roast, with green beans and yellow rice - mixed grill with hummus and pita bread Everything was superb, but again, my favorite is definitely the half roasted chicken.
My friend who is Arab took me here and ordered for us. Surprisingly this place has excellent food for a hole-in-the-wall type place. I've passed here a million times and never thought to go in. The falafel is great- moist and green, which means they use a lot of parsley to make it very flavorful. Compare that to falafel from the food trucks which often times are dry, bready and yellow. I've been looking for great falafel in the area, and this is definitely the place. The bamya (lamb and okra in a red sauce) is excellent as well, great flavor and tender. The pita is hot, fresh and fluffy, and went great with the hummus and foal (spelling?) which was filling and bursting with flavor as well. Wish they were open an hour or two later, they close at 10, otherwise this would be a great late night spot. Either way though I definitely intend to become a regular here
