I would highly recommend going to another place. The messed up my meal with one of my coworkers meals and didn’t offer to fix it. When the cook made the mistake he yelled at the waitress. They must be very hard up for cash but aren’t we all? They brought out garlic sauce and pita bread to the table before bringing out our food. When I get my portion of the bill they charged me for the garlic sauce and my chicken Schwarma. I told the waitress that I didn’t order garlic sauce and she was trying to tell me it comes with my meal but if that’s the case why am I charged full price for the lunch entree and then an additional amount for the garlic sauce and pita bread? She walks away and talks to the cook. A big burly man comes barreling out of the kitchen asking what the problem was. I politely told him I wasn’t paying for the garlic sauce and to remove it. The big burly man said that I would pay for it and when I told him I wouldn’t pay for anything then, he said he would call the cops. I told him to go ahead, knowing that would get no where ((amazed that this jerk would waste a cops time on two bucks)). Well, he never called the cops, which wasn’t surprising. I knew he was trying to intimidate me to pay for something I didn’t order. We assumed it was a part of the meal like bread or chips and salsa and they never mentioned any additional charge for it. I’m sure they get away with this all the time but this is a scam and I would avoid going there unless you want to get ripped off for mediocre food.
I chose this place based on the positive reviews of their shawarma. I called ahead and ordered for pick up. I have not tried anything else on their menu.
The waitress was very kind and the atmosphere seemed quiet and comfortable.
The wrap itself was surprisingly thin considering the price. The chicken was cooked well, but the lack of flavor and toppings was surprising. There were a couple bites that tasted like it contained toum, but I couldn’t see any sauce in it. I basically ate a chicken and pickle wrap. I understand that traditional shawarmas have much less in them than what is usually offered at many restaurants, but this was the bare minimum.
Wife had stuffed grape leaves, smallest I've ever seen, should have taken a picture, I had Chicken Swarma Plate, thought I was getting the one wrapped in a pita , but I did order the plate, chicken had a good flavor but was very dry. Didn't feel it was worth what we paid but I am not a good judge for this type of food. Oh, the salad was good.

Cozy spot with an authentic vibe. The chicken cream chop sandwich (more like a pita wrap) is phenomenal and the sauce’s slight tanginess is delightful. It was wrapped with aluminum and a paper on the outside to make it easy to eat on the go. It was about a foot long and I had to take bites because it smelled so good!

The food here is great, but what makes it exceptional is the sauces. I ordered a simple falafel platter (which came in a barrel shape I'm not accustomed to, but oh so good). Of course, the traditional hummus and garlic sauces came with it (and they are very good), but there was also this pickled mango sauce that took the food to a whole new level. And my wife's beef shawarma was well executed too, but again it was the accompanying stew that put it over the top. The attention to the details make this place stand out.
The food was great, looked fresh and tasted great. Few things the menu is very off on pricing. The daily special sheet said half chicken off bone $9.99 so that is what I ordered . She asked if I wanted garlic I said sure just a really small one, asked if I wanted bread I said sure. A side salad came with the special I got a fattoush and it was fabulous! The bread came and it was the bagged type pita not warm bread which was fine I’m not a big bread eater. Food came and it was delicious and large serving so I got a box to take the majority of it home. When I got the bill the special was really $12.99 not $9.99 and I had a garlic charge of $1.99 . While that was fine because it still seemed reasonable but had I known ahead of time I would have just stuck with a fattoush with chicken as all I really wanted was a salad and chicken but looked at the better deal and got it the other way. Seems like a family owned place and waitress was friendly. It’s really close to my work so I plan to go back again and take some friends for lunch. They got quite a bit of carry out service while I was there. They should update the menu and while it looks like they have a line through prices they should just update with a marker the actual prices so people know.

Amazing! Our favorite Greek place, Neel cooked us up a banger lunch. The chicken cream chop was so yummy, like a chicken shawarma but crunchier. Soup is banger, if you're sick it'll HEAL YOU! can't recommend this place enough, it's a great value with nice portions and large menu.
I don't normally leave raving reviews... But this place was fantastic. The lamb was fresh along with everything else. The portions were huge, but I couldn't stop eating the lamb, literal meat sweats as I'm writing this. Visit this place! Well worth it!!! PRESERVE PLACES LIKE THIS, MEDITERRANEAN WAS NOT MEANT TO BE FAST FOOD. This place does it right! The owners are nice and clearly appreciate the food they make and their customers!
Absolutely great service! Great food! Nice folks running the place! Being from the Southern US I don't get a lot of Greek or Mid-East food, so when I visit the North I take every opportunity to try new places. Hands down properly the best meal I've had in the Troy area while traveling and and eating at dozens of restaurants. The owner/cook was even hospitable enough to talk with me in detail about culture, different cooking methods, and raising sheep.
Hands down my favorite place for Mediterranean food. The steak kabobs are fantastic and so is the hummus! Nice little mom and pop location, not too expensive and almost never busy for dinner.

The BEST lamb shank:) Super juicy and tender, falls right off the bone, and scrumptiously seasoned. Generous portion size is a plus. We dined in (note: small seating area--3 tables?) and the staff was very welcoming and attentive. Would def recommend (do get the amazing garlic sauce as well), can't wait to go back for more!

I only have 3 words for this place: delicious, delicious, delicious. This place put all the previous eastern food I've had to shame! Everything was just delicious, cooked perfect and enough to have great leftovers the next day. The food reheats very well next day as well. The owner was very sweet in helping to get a meal that we would enjoy while not upselling, trying to give us more than we need. We will revisit this place when we're in the area!

I had one of the best possible experiences in trying a new restaurant when I ordered from Kabob Royale. The food was absolutely amazing and there was plenty of it. The tray for 2 has a wide variety of meats and is very flavorful. My girlfriend and I ate until we were stuffed and have at least two more meals worth of food. The owner of the restaurant is an appreciative, prideful and hardworking gentleman. We will without a doubt be back.

Excellent Middle Eastern food! The portions are incredibly generous. The platter for 2 could probably serve 3 easily especially if you add sides like hummus & fattoush. The two stews (white bean and potato & veggies) are wonderful. When picking up carry out, the guys behind the counter are very friendly.
Great Lamb Chops!!! A small place with a great attitude!! Server is super nice and attentive even when is extraordinary busy with the “to go” orders that are plenty. Flavor was right, the cook them was right and the portion size was the right one too. Very clean place, around 12 seating tables, lots of parking spaces makes it ideal for stop while driving by.
