Memo Shish Kebab - Manhattan

I normally do not give negative review but their location in Manhattan tested my patience. I have been to both of their sites and food is good that part is fine but the behavior I got yesterday by a female employee is really hurtful.
I went there yesterday and I was fasting I just went to take a soda/juice so that I can break my fast in the train. When I went there, there were no customers and the lady was doing something. I just grabbed a snapple and wanted to pay and leave. I called her 3 to 4 times but she did not respond. Then, one of her male coworkers called her and said that I was calling her. The minute she turned she was showing me attitude and said that she was doing sonething. I said but there was no one and she should attend her customer first or should at least have the courtesy to tell me to wait and she would be there and I said that she can not be rude to her customers. Then she told me pretty unpleasant things and I said that it is fine I do not want anything and want to leave. She then took the snapple and closed the counter and was giving me rude looks.
I also work with people and I know this is not the way to behave.
The reason for this long post is that I want to bring attention as rude people like her gives an impression to people that people in Ny are rude which is not true. For few people like her, others have a bad name.
I want the management to make sure that for people like her, they should not lose face as they have a good reputaion and name.

Un excelente lugar para disfrutar de auténticos kebabs en Nueva York. La carne es jugosa y bien sazonada, acompañada de pan fresco y deliciosas guarniciones. Ofrecen opciones tanto clásicas como innovadoras, y el servicio es rápido y amable. Perfecto para una comida casual o para llevar. Sin duda, un rincón recomendado para los amantes de la comida mediterránea

Stopped in to grab a quick lunch. Service was snappy and they were so nice. Grabbed a Lamb/Chicken combo pita. I can't call it a Gyro, cause it wasn't. It was a Donner meat and it was really dry. The white sauce was thin and not enough to make the sandwich easier to eat. I did get a rice pudding that was very good. Needed a little more rice, but the flavor was rich and creamy with a cinnamon top. Best part!!

While in NY I went here. My chicken kebab pita was ok/good. Not great. Not much flavor is how I would best describe the chicken kebobs, hummus and yogurt sauce.

The place is clean and service was good.

Memo Shish Kebab in Manhattan offers an exceptional Turkish dining experience that stands out in the city. Located at the bustling corner of 23rd Street and 6th Avenue, this eatery combines convenience with authentic flavors.

I dined in and was impressed by the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the efficiency of the service. The menu features a variety of grilled meats, with the lamb kebabs and mixed grill being particularly noteworthy. The meats are grilled to perfection and accompanied by an assortment of delectable sauces that enhance the overall flavor profile.

While the food quality is consistently high, some diners may find certain items, like the lamb, to be slightly gamey. However, the chicken dishes and gyros receive widespread acclaim for their tenderness and taste. The restaurant operates on a fast-casual basis, allowing customers to order and pay before enjoying their meals, which are noted for their freshness and great taste.

While some may find the prices a bit steep, the quality and authenticity of the dishes make it well worth the expense.

In summary, my dine-in experience at Memo Shish Kebab was delightful, offering a true taste of Turkish cuisine in Manhattan. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking bold, authentic flavors in a casual yet inviting setting.

I came here a few times it was always good. The chicken kebab platter and eggplant appetizer. Our favorite was the brown top pudding. It's a bit expensive, $17 for the kebab platter. But I guess everything is these days.

I was very excited when I saw vertical rotating rotisserie (doner/shawarma/gyro). Not many spots in NYC have those. But unfortunately the food wasn't great. The chicken was slightly burnt and dry. This cooking method is supposed to produce juicy meats but something isn't right about how they do it here. The portion size and veggies in their gyros are good. The yogurt sauce was watery and I wasn't able to use it. They didn't offer any garlic sauce which is commonly served with this dish. The staff were friendly.

I ordered a chicken platter came to my car to eat it on the third bite. I found a long hair inside the salad and got pretty disgusted but I was so hungry I ended up eating it. It was kinda dry too. $18 for a small platter.
