Shaks really is something special. I was there for the third time last night, and like the previous visits, the food and drink were exceptional. I have had the chicken kabob and the beef shawarma, and both were some of the best I have ever had. And don't get me started about the the Land of Milk and Honey cocktail. I don't know who came up with that recipe, but it is a spectacular drink. A reason to visit Shaks all by itself. This is just a great restaurant and I can't wait to return.

I am absolutely obsessed! I ate here tonight with my friend after she told me several times how amazing it is, and it definitely exceeded my expectations! Huge portions for your money, and authentic flavors. I've visited Greece and Turkey so I know good Mediterranean food, and this is the best I've had in the states! Can't wait to come back! Definitely recommend the chicken shish kebab plate!

Incredible food, atmosphere and service. The best gyros, hummus - try the loaded hummus, you will not be disappointed! They have a dessert the Kashtaleah which is tasty and our daughter’s favorite. If you’re a garlic fan, don’t miss out on their garlic dip. This a family owned business and they put their heart and soul into their restaurant and it shows!

I wish I had reviewed this place sooner because we had such good time here, but now I don't remember much details. Our friends highly recommend this place so we met up there. Service, food, environment, everything was great. I particularly remember lamb racks being absolutely delicious. Beef shawarma was also greatly good. My husband loved his falefal plate. Pita and hummus and dolma were also absolutely fresh and delicious. House salad was great. Everyone loved the complimentary lemon soup. I wasn't a big fan but it was good. Overall food was great with everything being on a pricier side. We'd definitely go back and I'm having that lamb rack :)
If I could give this place 10 stars, I would, it's the best food I've had, maybe ever. It's not the fanciest place in the world, but it's not bad, and it's immaculate. The staff is inviting, warm, and friendly. Our server provided some of the best service I've had outside of a high end steakhouse, and the overall service and food delivery was prompt! We had the hummus as an appetizer. It was life changing. My wife ordered the chicken kabob plate, I ordered the Shak Attack burger. Both were divine. Seriously, I could spend hours writing about how good this place is, but you would be better served getting up and heading over there yourself. It's unbelievably good. Oh yeah, and we were blown away at how reasonable the prices were as well, truly amazing all around.
We ordered to go the Chicken Shisk Kabob Plate with shawarma beef. I am giving 2 stars & not 1 because the side salad was excellent. Everything else was not. The chicken was dry the shawarma beef veiny, some yellow gelish stuff we have no idea what it was but didn't like the taste. The rice dry. I forgot to get pictures but it wouldn't change a thing. The food was bad.

Big portions, shareable plates. Servers great. Garlic sauce is pungent but so good. Setve Turkish coffee. Very smooth.

Ive been eating here for over 20 years and the food quality and flavor is exactly the same! I was blown away of how they’ve kept their unique delicious recipes!! From the Mediterranean salad to the garlic dip. Consistently delicious!
