   We had been hearing great things about this hidden gem and it lived up to expectations. The chicken shawarma was delicious and the made-to-order baklava served with a scoop of ice cream was to die for. We will definitely go back!

   The food was fair at best! Might be the worst shish kebab I’ve ever had! No vegetables and a very odd seasoning.

   The food was very bland. There was no flavor in either dish ordered. There were only two tables filled at 6:30 in the evening, and we had a wait on drinks and food. The menu has gotten smaller and very limited.

   Good happy hour food was rushed probably because they were catering to a party of 50. Our prior visit there was a bit better.

   There was a sewage smell as soon as you walked in. The hostess was not friendly at all. Did not even smile. The food was overpriced, and the quality is on 1 of a scale of one to 10. We had the beef kebab and the ground beef kebab. The beef kebab was undercooked. I asked for a medium rare and it came rare and room temperature. The ground beef was overcooked and dry. Our server Clarissa never smiled once and seemed irritated with any questions or request we had. When asked what the difference was between the lamb, she responded in a very sarcastic response and ask me which lamb entree? it was definitely a one and done for us. I would never recommend anybody to go there. There are only about three other tables in the whole restaurant so that shows you that it is not a great restaurant. Not sure why there are high ratings on yelp unless it was paid for. Do yourself a favor and spend your money elsewhere.

   Egyptian chef cooking here in a chic restaurant inside a strip mall. Attractive interior, although very cold ! ( ladies bring your jackets). Food review split between our group of 4. Some folks loved the “ special spice “ added to rice and many other dishes; others hated it. But great variety and uniqueness of menu. However, drinks not very innovative, and service less than attentive. We have heard their 3-5 pm special for $19.95 is a bargain.

   We have been to Shabo’s several times, the food is always great, no complaints at all. The only issue is getting in and out of the parking area.

    While the food was excellent, the service was slow. Admittedly, our server had only been working at the restaurant for a few days, however, she consistently forgot ordered items such as the soup and serving utensils. We'll no doubt give it a second try after season is over.
