Ayhan's Shish-kebab Restaurants

Ayhan's seems to be a local favorite and with three restaurants in a two block radius, I can see why. This visit was for dinner at the Shish-Kebab restaurant. It is much larger inside than I thought from the outside. There are several dining rooms so you can ask to sit in a specific section I'd imagine. Service was good and the food was quite good. The portions were huge!! I thoroughly enjoyed the grilled octopus and my lamb shank with Bulger wheat instead of rice. So tender, fall off the bone. The vegetables served with it were good as well, generous portions and plate sizes. My friend had the grilled Pompano, lots of meat and grilled well. The American Saganaki cheese appetizer was really delicious. Eat it quickly before the cheese starts to harden. The aluminum plate it's served in only keeps it warm enough for a fast eater. Menu selection is quite large so do look at it thoroughly before deciding. They were out of the taramasalata unfortunately but we enjoyed the eggplant dip instead. And the lentil soup was a hit.

Loved the atmosphere and how I felt like I was back in Türkiye again! Ordered the mediterranean salad and it was perfect! I’ve always been picky with my salads since they can be soggy but this was perfect. Also ordered the salmon steak and kofte tacos with a side of baba ganoush and it was chef kiss. Can’t go to a Turkish restaurant without trying their desserts so ordered the galaktoboureko (my mom makes it better but it was still perfect)!

The service was fenomenal and the waiter was great and friendly, very nice atmosphere and atmosphere was nice, the food was stellar, the beer was great! I had the five kebab feast, and let me tell you, was that a feast? absolutely! The grilled meats were stellar, the rice was delicious, the sauce that came was great!The soup that came with my meal was really good, and the bread was also on another level! Highly recommended!!!!
