Are you getting tired of the same old same at Beans and need a break from those greasy
fi res at the Grill? Well I have found just the place for you and it is so close that it is practically on campus. Tucked between Urban Flats and The Beauty Spot, The House of Kabob is easy to overlook. However, it is worth the stop! If you are looking for a quick lunch or nice inexpensive dinner out on the small patio they have it all. Although it may feel like fast food as you walk up to the counter to order, it tastes far from it. The clean little restaurant smelled of so many different spices I could not wait to get my meal. I felt as though I was back in Sydney, Australia walking the streets of Bondi Beach with beef roasting in the windows of the Middle Eastern restaurants on every corner.

As soon as I walked into the place I felt welcomed as if I was family. This casual Middle Eastern restaurant serves authentic dishes like roasted chicken, gyros, shish kabobs and grape leaves. They specialize in cooking food with the healthiest and freshest ingredients possible. Masoud, the friendly owner, wanted me to try everything he had to off er. I started with the fresh
pita and hummus that arrived at my table. In my opinion, you can not go wrong with pita and hummus and this was particularly good hummus. Next was an assortment of salads, all made with fresh vegetables and spices. Last but not least was the chicken kabob served over rice. The chicken was tender and flavorful and the rice was delicious. The best part of my meal was that I had plenty of food for leftovers! If looking for a posh, exclusive restaurant for a special evening, this may not be the place. But for a great, quick, and inexpensive Middle Eastern meal in a friendly environment this is the place for you to come!
