Review of Shish Taouk Restaurant

This was my best food experience in recent years. The falafel is absolutely delicious - crispy on the outside but so soft on the inside, and spiced excellently. Best falafel I've ever had. The hummus was delicious too! The owner was so friendly and helpful, great to talk to - overall, a great experience.

And to top it all off, it's so safe. Since my diagnosis, finding really excellent and safe food for me outside of my own home is rare. Eating here was an absolute treat, and my husband and I already planned to meet friends in the area again so we can get more falafel. The owner knew about the safety needs, and emphasized that all but three things in the restaurant were gluten free. And he didn't need to be told to not even put the pita bread on my plate, he automatically gave it to my husband so he could eat my share, since I was paying for the full "plate". Really conscientious guy, when I went back in to get more falafel and another baklava for my husband, he made sure to remind me that the baklava is not gluten free. I'm so happy to have eaten here.
