Rojbas

One of my go to lunch places. I love their adana plate which comes with rice and salad. If you’re lucky they may serve homemade ayran as well which tastes really minty and amazing.

The owner and service staff are really nice. Food was very good too. We ordered the lentil soup, chicken shish kebab plate, falafel wrap, and french fries. The harissa sauce was quite tasty too

Only come here if you want a magical experience. The warmth of their culture is so holding. It’s easy to let go and relax. Plus, they don’t rush you. It’s like eating at your favorite person’s home. And the food is delicious!!!

I had the chicken kabob and it was cooked to perfection. It came with rice and a nice salad plus pita-like bread and a dip. I would definitely get this again!! Really want to try their desserts, as they are homemade and supposedly really good.

Robjas is a quaint little Mediterranean restaurant with 4 tables arranged in a sunny storefront. The wait staff are hard working and friendly. Their menu is priced fairly, with most dishes around the $15 price point. Upon being seated, they bring you a little complimentary cup of tea. I ordered the chicken shish-kebab, which came with pita bread too, which was soft and super delicious. Their yogurt is fresh, light, and flavorful, and their chicken was crispy and mixed well with the rice. Would definitely recommend Robjas for the sit down experience and fresh, incredible food.

Just to be Fair I didn't eat here other dishes as it was my first time and last.
I ordered dolma and they brought me one less than on a picture.
And this is so called spinach pie..without spinach. First I thought they mixed up my order as it looked like a hash brown. Then I noticed a bit of cottage cheese .
When I asked server where is spinach, a bit later another guy brought me sautéed spinach with not cut leaves. When I started laughing he said he forget to put spinach and now he fixed it. No thanks.

The pita is both soft and crispy. The chicken was tender and slightly charred. The hummus was an interesting yellow and garnished very nicely. I enjoyed the food very much.

Sunday 5th Feb 2023. After days of great burgers, omelette with emmental cheese-ham, dim sum, bimbimbap, crepe suzette, mex-tex, korean hotpot, le phos, vietnamese drip coffee, Florence and I walked into ROJBAS GRILL at junction of University Ave/ Martin LutherKing Jr.Ave - a small simple 18- seater Kurdish/ Med it said.
But just what to order for two persons? Light one & we agreed to share.
We ordered an eggplant humus w crispy pita ($6.95). and chicken skewers with salad n yellow rice and yogurt ($15.95) and small thick cuppa turkish coffee.($3.45)

First of all there are only 3 persons running the eatery, Only one speaks English, that's Burhan and two in kitchen called Rostu & Adam who don't. These are the two cooks who also serves. Rostu smiles a lot. All 3 were Kurdish and so i knew it was going to be genuine fare. Because, you see i have this silly theory that food must be done by the original cast, for e.g. good dimsum must be done by cantonese and spicy curries by southern indians. Silly but works for me most of the time.
This time i was right again The pittas came first, hot crispy on edges and chewy in centre, dipped in the eggplant humus twas so good and i had to resist mopping all up until the grilled chicken skewers came. Verdict? Very good.
By the way Burhan told me ROJBAS means "good day" in Kurdish and his name means "proof" as in proof of a blessed person in the Quran. Do go! its at a corner unit next to Traders Joe .

The baklava was so amazing there was not time for a photo shoot. Great food and wonderful service! Thank you for a grand and very healthy meal.
