Amazing food. Went Saturday and got their very generous portion of Maklouba special. Also got the kataif and the tea. Everything was absolutely delicious, from the main to the side of fresh delicious tomato and cucumber salad. The service was also great!

10/10 incredible authentic Levantine food. Lamb Shank Makloubah was to die for. Perfect fattoush. Delicious Kunafeh. If I lived closer to this spot I would be a regular. A tad pricey but honestly worth it.

Shish Grill is just good. It is just that simple. If you like Mediterranean food go there.Favorites:Spicy Chicken (idk what it is, it is just good) -- like ~$25 but easily 2 meals.Shish Wrap, also very good and like ~$20 or maybe a bit less.Vegetarian options: They have hummus and other rabbit food for the vegetarians.Parking: huge parking lot by sports basement.
Honestly one of the best Arab places in the area. There hummus is beyond amazing. The flavors are very much on point. I also had the gyro lavash and it was great. I loved the sauce on the side.Overall, everything had a great taste and was full of flavor. Highly recommend.

I am so glad of visiting them. They have big Arabic menu. We order kebbah, Hummus, yalanci, tabbolah, and their special Friday dish ?. Every thing was delicious. The service was great. But I noticed that was very expensive.
This is definitely the best Arabic restaurant in the bay area. They really represent the real Arabic food. I am going to visit them again for sure.We finally found real Hummus and Tabouela ( 5 stars). The Kibbeh was super good (5 stars). Waraq Enab (Yalangi) was good too (4 stars); I appreciate the fact that they serve it warm. We also tried the special Friday dish (4 stars).The service was outstanding too.

Discovering this restaurant was like uncovering a hidden gem. Every dish we tried was a delight, particularly the spicy chicken and spicy potato. My wife's choice of chicken shawarma was equally impressive. It's rare to find a place where the food is so flavored that it needs no additional seasoning or sauce, but this was definitely the case here. The dishes were not only delicious but also had the perfect texture, elevating our dining experience to a new level. This has quickly become my go-to spot for Middle Eastern cuisine.The spicy potato, a dish I was initially uncertain about, turned out to be unexpectedly and incredibly flavorful.What truly sets this restaurant apart, though, is the exceptional service. The young man who attended to us was the epitome of professionalism, striking the perfect balance between being attentive and giving space, a quality rarely mastered by many in the service industry. His cultural sensitivity and mannerisms greatly enhanced our comfort and overall dining experience.In summary, this restaurant has won my heart both with its extraordinary culinary offerings and its outstanding service. It is, without a doubt, one of my top recommendations for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.

5 Stars ! and wholeheartedly agree with theBest of San Ramon 2023 Award !⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️Over 7 years experience Dining-In and ordering Take-out!Think over 35 visits for Lunch and the Couples Dinner !Every friend and extended family member love Shish Grill.Here is why I Rave about this wonderful placeR - Recent visit had the chance to meet both Chef Nancy and Gus. Excellent owners who deeply care about the quality and ambiance.A - Always just like the first time I ordered a menu item. Basically consistent mix of flavors that tantalize the palate and large entree portions that could be shared between 2 to 3 peopleV - Very large portions, consistently. Had to take two-thirds of my Spicy Chicken homeE - Eggplant or specifically the " baba ganoush "My favorite each time I visit. It has the flavors of rich & smoky eggplant, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice and garlic plus Chef Nancy's love & caring.One, two, three, four, FIVE Stars !I approve of this rating, Jay M.

Over priced food which had way too much seasoning which ruined the taste. Meat was rubbery and tasted funny. Rice and veggies were obviously stale. Shabby and cramped seating area with wobbly tables.
