We just ordered takeout from here never having eaten here before. Food was prepared in a timely manner and the service was great. None of our group enjoyed the food all that much, though. For $40, we got dolmas, tzatziki, cigar rolls, and falafel appetizers and the sizes were quite small for $40. The tzatziki was good. The cigar rolls were good but not overly flavorful. The most disappointing were the falafel (overcooked and dry) and dolmas (mushy and too much lemon). I get these all the time elsewhere and have never been disappointed by those two dishes. For another $50 (great price by the way), We also got a 5 pack of gyro wraps. The lettuce was wilty and possibly spoiled and had an off fl...
If you’ve never eaten Middle Eastern food then maybe you’ll like this. But, the spice palette used in the falafel, baba ghanoush, tizsiki, and the red lentil soup was underwhelming and disappointing. Edible, but not spectacular. I have eaten plenty of falafels in my life and this could have been so much better had they just even used fresh veggies instead of what appeared to be bagged iceberg lettuce. I don't care if their food is Middle East inspired or Greek, they can do better, and I hope they take this constructively.
This was my first experience with Kismet, and I was really looking forward to trying the lamb dinner that had been highly recommended. The flavors were fantastic—some might say it had a bit of heat, but it was so delicious! Unfortunately, the lamb was tough and chewy, which was disappointing given my expectations. The delivery through Grubhub was great; they were communicative, arrived early, and the food was hot. Just a heads up for anyone with dietary restrictions: it was a bit spicy.
I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The staff was extremely friendly and attentive, making our visit enjoyable. The food was fantastic, with standout dishes like the Red Lentil Soup, Lamb Chops, and Shakshuka. The atmosphere was nice, setting the perfect tone for dinner. I would definitely recommend this place, with a price range of about $30 to $50 per person. Overall, I would rate the food and service as 5 stars each, and the atmosphere as 4 stars.

The shish kebab lamb I received was undercooked. I found the prices to be quite high. I ordered two plates and ended up paying $116. According to the menu, one plate was priced at $28 and the second at $26. For service, I’d rate it a 5, while the food gets a 3. The atmosphere was pleasant, rating a 4. Overall, my experience was not worth the cost, which ranged from $50 to $100 per person.
