The name of the place attacked me at first so I decided to stop for lunch.

They say good things come in small packages. This is true of this place. Quaint and so homely. The gentleman that helped us not only did all of the work himself, but flawlessly, while providing brief backgrounds of the foods and heritage. That really propels you to feel the culture in the experience, especially with such genuine expression. This is a superbly run restaurant and we will be returning!

One of the best kabobs i have had. The meat is very tender and juicy. The basmati rice is just right. The portions are decent. The place is run by the family so you know its good. The love that goes into the food makes the difference. Definitely worth the trip. Thank you for a great meal. Loved it!!!

While I was getting my car fixed, i decided to check this place out based on other google reviews. Upon entering I was welcomed by friendly staff members/cook. I’m an outsider to the city, but they treated me as if I had been going there for years, which felt extra special. Indoor dining is not big, but still nice, in my humble opinion. I tried the beef fillet as recommended by the chef. Although the wait takes a bit more time than usual, its definitely worth the wait! The beef was the right kind of tender to me. And the way it was presented was well done! Better than the menu photos. I highly recommend this place!

Love this place! When you walk in, after being greeted by a very nice family, the first thing you notice is how clean this restaurant is. I watched my food being prepared and was very pleased to see how many times the owner washed his hands, sanitized, and used gloves. The food is very fresh and flavorful. I ordered the beef fillet plate and the salmon plate. I honestly wish I had taken pictures because my to-go order was made with love and looked very appetizing. However, by the time I got home, the scent in the car made it impossible not to eat the food right away. The fillet was juicy, cooked to perfection. Their garlic sauce is FIRE! I regret getting only 2 sides of it. The sides are great as well, I really enjoyed the fresh salad and the grilled veggies. Everything on that plate belongs there. The portion is very generous, I will gladly enjoy the leftovers for dinner. The salmon with their version of fries was delicious also. I look forward to coming back when in the area.

Awesome little hidden gem! Food was delicious (I’ve got beef luleh kebab w/ salad and fries), totally recommend their take on French fries — it’s quite unusual and will be my favorite from now on. Also the service was fantastic, very friendly and family-like. I will be glad to stop by the Why Not Kebab every time I’m in the area around lunch time.

Good lule beef sandwich ($9 total) Small in size but tasty and fresh. It comes with salad which was ok. They prepared it very fast and the owners are very nice and polite. Yes, It has a clean restroom too!!
