Great food and service!

by cg1cg2

Wow - the previous reviewers must not haven eaten at the same restaurant we did!

We ate here today, with two adults and two kids. Service was outstanding. The waiter constantly checked to make sure we were enjoying our meals, and brought us two desserts (firnee - which is a delicious pudding that doesn't taste like anything I've ever had before - and baklava) on the house. After that, the adults were offered Turkish coffee on the house. I wasn't sure since I'm not really much of a coffee drinker, but it won me over- I wish there was somewhere closer to me where I could get that on a regular basis.

As for the food, we had chicken korma, shrimp kebabs, lamb tikka and lamb steak. The chicken was so tender it just fell apart in your mouth, and those that ate the lamb said it was the best they had ever tasted. Even the two eleven year old picky eaters cleaned their plates.

Absolutely worth the drive from Durham - we will definitely be going back!

• Pros: great service, delicious food, unique desserts
• Cons: none

It is not even Afghani food!!

by kfiras

I went with my family the other day for lunch. We ordered two half chickens one Tandori and one spicey. We ordered also beef kebabs. The chicken halves came with only thighs and drum sticks and no breasts or white meat. the taste was awful. On the menu they say Fire-Grilled but all chicken pieces were actually fried. The Tandori chicken tasted nothing like Tandori. The beef kebabs were almost not even cooked, we can see they are oozing bloode. The service was awful also. We had to leave 15 mins after our food was served since we could not even eat it. I will never ever go there and by the way this is not Afghani food and people are not Afghanis and this is not Afghani cuisine

• Pros: Nothing
• Cons: Food, service

Service is a JOKE!!

by sdeblase

Somebody recommended that we go to Unaabi Grill, so we decided to try it last night. I made reservations, like the website recommended. We were seated rather promptly, but were not handed menus. After sitting there for a while, we decided we wanted to be seated outside because of the too high air conditioning. We were seated outside and waiter came to the table. He took our drink order. He returned 15 minutes later with 3 of the beverages, but the not the 4th, which was tea, saying it would be out shortly. We placed our orders for food. About 15 minutes later, he returned with our salads but no silverware, and never returned with any. My husband had to go in and ask. They still didn't bring any silverware, so finally we asked another waitress to bring us some. She returned with only forks, no knives or napkins. Still no tea. We asked our waiter for napkins. He returned with a bunch of napkins and just left them. Still...no tea. When I asked, he rudely replied Ï don't know where your tea is. There was no "but I'll check for you" or any apologies. We then sat for another 1/2 hour, no food, no tea. Another table that was sitting near us, had been seated after us already had there meals....and TEA! Then, there was a couple seated before us, with nothing either. We decided we had waisted 1 hour, were famished, and the whole seen was ridiculous. We left money to cover our beverages and went to another restaurant. I have no idea if the food was good or not, but I won't be back to find out.
