Grill Gate

“not even kidding great solo dining setup with counter seating facing the grill so you watch them make your order adn the staff checks in regularly without being annoying about it would recommend”

“music was way too loud for a weeknight dinner made it hard to enjoy the peaceful solo experience i was going for”

“the contrast of textures in their mixed grill is extraordinary - crispy edged kafta against tender lamb wiht that cool creamy tahini sauce legit every bite is different idk”

“hummus had this oddly grainy texture like the chickpeas weren't processed long enough to get that silky smoothness”

“lamb kabobs are incredibly tender and properly charred on the outside. each bite has this perfect smoky flavor that only comes from a well seasoned grill”

“rice was a bit dry adn could've used more seasoning to match the bold flavors of the grilled meats ugh”

“ok but thier chicken shawarma marinade shows real middle eastern technique proper spice balance with cardamom sumac and garlic that gets into the meat without overpowering it”

“ok so the rice is just standard basmati missing the saffron or vermicelli additions that would make it an actual proper side instead of basic”

“the lamb shawarma is exactly what this meat and potatoes guy needed tender well seasoned meat that doesnt hide behind fancy sauces jsut good honest flavors done right”

“still figuring out how to eat this without making a complete mess of myself and the table definitely takes more finesse than my usual burger approach nuff said”
