Hands down one of my favorite restaurants. For those who enjoy authentic, fresh, made-from-scratch Middle Eastern cuisine, this is THE restaurant for you. The food is fantastic, the service is quality, and the atmosphere is traditionally ethnic. Some favorites of mine from the menu include their lamb shawarma sandwich, their Shish Combo (for 1), and their fattoush tawook. Don't forget to mention their bread and garlic butter! Scrumptious. There's a reason I frequent this place at least once a week.

This place is awesome. I used to live in Albany Park, Chicago. Albany Park has a lot of little places like this. I was thrilled when I saw this place during a trip to the Celebration Cinema's! Everyone there was friendly and the food was delicious (try the chicken shwarma and add hummus). Takes me back! It was so good that after the movie I picked up 36 dollars of food from Sheshco to take home to my wife. She loved it! Even though we had to reheat it due to the long drive home we ate it up! We're actually planning our next date night around traveling the forty miles to go to Sheshco.

We've tried this place several times now and we always leave disappointed. Service is horrible- tons of servers gossiping around the register and not assisting patrons. Shish Kafta was red/raw in middle despite sending it back twice. Salad is under dressed and food is under salted. We will not be back.
(2)Gretchen D.
We enjoyed it. Not cheap. Everything was well-done. Solid 3.5 stars. Service was good. Enjoyed everything: alfalfa, lentil soup, shish kebobs, tabouli. Perhaps could use a bit more salt and flavorings. Hovering close to 4 stars. Very nice.
(3)Sheila J.
We ordered the platter for 6 so we could try a little of everything. It was so much food we took it home and had dinner the next night. The food was amazing. The only reason I didn't give it a 5* was because our waiter wasn't super enthusiastic or knowledgable. Other than that Sheshco is would be my #1 recommendation in GR for Mediterranean food. Did I say the pita bread hot out of the oven was perfection!!
(4)William P.
Great food, great people. Shared the Shesh Combo for 2 with 3 people and everyone loved it and left full. Best kafta in GR and the chicken kabob, garlic spread and fresh bread is fabulous.

Okay, first off, this review is largely because of the staff, not the food. The food was pretty good. The lamb was dry and the food overall all could have been warmer, it was lukewarm rather than hot when it got to our table. But all in all, it was tasty. Especially the bread and hummus/garlic sauce. Those were my favorites. It was also quite generous in portion and very filling. However the service was AWFUL. First of all, it was later in the evening (around 7:30) when we arrived and the place was dead. It was just us and another couple in the opposite corner. I'd have said it was quiet, except the staff was arguing loudly at the front counter the whole time we were there. It was like some sort of television drama. The drawer was apparently not correct so they argued back and forth about what would be wrong. Then one lady went in the back and a man and another lady gossiped loudly about her behind her back and complain about her attitude. Then the guy left and the two women were left in front and proceeded to gossip loudly and complain about the man who left! Then one of the women began demanding that she was going home and there was no point for her to be there and constantly asking if the person cooking was making anything for her. Meanwhile I never got a refill, my partner got one after having been without for half the meal. We asked for more bread several times and never got any and there was about 10-20 minutes of time when we had eaten our salad/soup and all the bread and just sat there awkwardly with a table full of sauces and no extra bread to eat them with or main course. And like I said before, the food was pretty lukewarm when we got it. The lady who had been demanding to go home early also made us feel very uncomfortable and rushed. Even though everything we'd seen said they closed at 10, she kept insisting loudly that they were closing at 9:30 and she was going to leave at 9 even if "some people" were still eating. All in all, we wont be returning. If I wanted to watch people bicker and argue over my dinner, I'd just turn on a soap opera at home and save myself the trouble.

Good food. Chicken Ghalaba is great. Fatoosh salad is bad. They can clean up the place especially their carpet. Ambience is great with decor but did not like looking at their carpet .
(4)Phil N.
Just stopped in for a quick lunch and the food was great! Their garlic spread is wonderful on the hot pocket bread the bale fresh. We ordered the combo/sampler "for one" and it fed both of us and then some! Very reasonably priced, too.
(5)Jenna S.
This is my first review and this is my first restaurant to post about! So enjoyed SheshCo! I ordered a lemonade and the hummus with vegetables. Before the hummus came out, pita arrived with this absolutely delightful garlic paste (too thick to be a sauce, more like a spread!). Then, my hummus and vegetable PLATTER arrived! Uh oh! This could have easily fed four people! I was all alone! Delicious hummus as well! I ordered the lamb shish kabob entree as well. That's tonight's dinner! I had no room for it all! So excited to have others join me in the future! Delicious!
(4)Laurel C.
We are fans! Excellent food, large portions (my husband and I usually share a plate and are still full) and good service.
(5)Andres D.
This is a nice little place that definitely understands customer service. We stopped in this afternoon to get some lunch before our movie. The waitress got our order in quickly and was attentive to our needs. The wife and I got one chicken and one lamb shawarma to experience some variety. The lamb shawarma is the winner for sure. Lots of good flavor that let's you know your eating a Mediterranean meal. We got a plate of hummus that was okay, made much better with the addition of their garlic sauce. This garlic sauce was awesome by the way, and I would go with just in the future. Smeared on some of their freshly baked pita, it made the meal! I would say that they are just shy of 4 stars, and you'd definitely enjoy your visit.
(3)Lucy N.
Garlic spread please! Wow is that stuff AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I could go there for that and the bread alone. My favorite thing on the menu is the sampler plate for 2. My husband and I get it and it is huge. We are able to take enough leftovers home for another dinner the following day. Their "sandwiches" are also amazing. On top of that, the staff is very kind and if something is not right - they will make it right. I am going there again this weekend and can't wait!
(5)M M.
Service was very good. Good is great and healthy. I really enjoyed this type of food. The coffee was very good
(4)Mark B.
Great place! They should have more of these around town. GREAT PRICES and very authentic, tasty, fresh food. Love the pita bread w/ whipped garlic/olive oil/lemon dipping spread. Very reasonably priced.. If it was closer I'd go here 4 or 5 times a week. Spread the word, this is the place to go to get good Medi food!
(5)Jason K.
Chicken was fatty and cold. Lentil soup was good. Not a great value for lunch. Back to Le Kabob for us.
(2)Sheshco M.
Welcome to Sheshco Grill Lebanese food has always been a principle attraction in Lebanon, the Middle East and Mediterranean countries. Now, these authentic and very healthy recipes have crossed over the borders to become extremely popular in the West. Lebanese cuisine, now considered a "Health Food", is mostly based on a large and varied assortment of fresh vegetables, wheat and dairy products, extra virgin olive oil, fresh garlic and a unique blend of traditional herbs and spices.
(5)K K.
The food here is delicious! I like the falafel. I've had the lamb a couple of times, but it was dry. The chicken is always yummy. The toom and pita bread is such a nice touch-- you get a basket of pitas with every meal.
(5)Dan G.
First time I have had Mediterranean food. This place was amazing. Great service. Great atmosphere. Highly recommended.
(5)Christine E.
Because I am of Middle Eastern ethnicity and because I grew up on and do make Syrian/Lebanese cuisine for myself and my family on a regular basis, my daughter predicted I'd be hypercritical of this place. Sheshco bills itself on its own website as Lebanese cuisine. Strangely, while Sheshco's food IS Middle Eastern, it is NOT Lebanese. The Middle East reflects many different dining traditions and, certainly, the Mediterranean encompasses that and so much more. However, very much like how there are so many different dialects of Arabic, you'll recognize the neighborhood the cook grew up in based on how his food is spiced. This is true of Sheshco. My gut tells me this is not Lebanese food so much as it is Southern Middle Eastern food: Saudi Arabian, Yemenite, etc. I encourage someone to prove me wrong but there is a disturbing tendency to call things Lebanese because Lebanon has a certain panache.....at least to it's own inhabitants! In this instance, it is nothing more than a marketing ploy, at best, to appeal to a broader group of diners who don't know any better. That said......the fresh bread and garlic spread are tremendously good. Could I make a meal from just that? Oh my gosh, yes. The tabooli was excellent. It's a good idea to present it so that you add your own salt, a squeeze of lemon and a bit of olive oil. It keeps the presentation very pretty and Sheshco was spot on with that. The rice pilaf side was very good and served with blanched almonds. I loved the spinach pie----it's seasoned differently than what I am used to, but is very good. The veal entree was dry, though the seasoning was spicy and interesting. Perhaps it needed to be served in a sauce? Or not so well done? Some attention to that issue might be addressed. I agree with the previous review in that I'd like to see how things go for Sheshco as they see what works and what doesn't. There is much potential for this place and how fabulous it is to have a restaurant in town that actually MAKES its own food instead of popping something from corporate headquarters into a microwave and calling it good. Sheshco, I am rooting for you.

Visited Sheshco for the first time last night with my husband and 2 others. The service was friendly and attentive, even as they became increasingly busy around dinner time. The bread and garlic spread alone were worth the visit. I suspect our group could have gone through a couple baskets worth and gone home happy and full. My husband and I decided to order the Mixed Maza, a combo platter, and split it so we could try a little bit of everything. Everything we has was delicious, and there was SO much food. The mixed Maza could probably have easily fed 3-4 people, as far as I'm concerned. We took at least half of it home, after eating our fill there. Warmed up the leftovers for another meal, and still couldn't finish everything. We now have a little bit left that will serve as a snack for one of us later. He added a cup of lamb chili to his meal, and we both liked it, even though I'm not typically big on chili. I added a small yogurt & cucumber to mine, and I'm very glad I did, as it was excellent. We also took home 2 pieces of Baklava which we had when we warmed up our leftovers. Oh. My. Goodness. It was heaven. Prices seem to run a little on the higher side for entrees and combos, but I felt it was worth it for the amount of food we received. The sandwich prices seemed exceptionally low. I'll be checking out lunch there soon. Long story short, we will definitely be coming back. A lot.
(4)Missy M.
The first time I ate here at Sheshco I really really liked it and hoped this would be my new go to grilll for before or after a movie. However on the second visit I ordered a lamb dish and the waitress brought me beef. I brought it to her attention and she acted like that was a perfectly reasonable thing to have happen. She did not apologize nor did she offer to correct the problem. I was deeply disappointed. I do not intend to return.
(1)Lee C.
Went here for late dinner tonight. I've been to Sheshco a few times, couldn't wait for it to open since Le Kabob was a little further from my home (well, until they opened on 28th). But I still prefer Sheshco over the other similar restaurants in the area. However, I was a bit disappointed tonight. The food was great, but the service was lacking. My server seemed more concerned with closing that servicing me. I did express my concerns to the cashier, it wasn't the owner (very friendly guy). But this guy did offer to take care of my bill -hence free dinner/great sign of being concerned about the customer. I do plan to go back, maybe not at closing (got there before 8:30/closing time is 9:00). It bothers me to no end to listen to music, people talking, a vacuum cleaner run all while trying to read a book -just doesn't make for a good dinner. Anyone can have an off night, hence why I gave it a 4 star -I know they are capable of providing great food and great service.
(4)Phil G.
I had to do an update since I've eaten here about 30 times since my initial review. I would say the service, in general, has improved overall and the food quality has remained very good. The garlic spread is definitely the best in town and the fresh-baked bread that goes with it is excellent. Our kids ask to go to Sheshco regularly for this reason alone and we like to take them as it is a healthy alternative to most other places. I've now tried most things on the menu and my favorite apps/sides include: -Garlic spread, fattoush and tabbouli salads, lentil soup, hommous (and I usually get this with meat - either is great), the meat pie and the foule. Most of the entrees are great, and the David Basha (sauteed, ground meat with onions, tomatoes and mushrooms) has become one of my favorites - extremely tasty! The Shish Tawook w/Lemon Oregano is another favorite. The juices really are fresh and even my 6 year old loves getting the fresh apple, carrot and beet juice combo. Since we don't drink soda, this is a real treat for them and, again, it's healthy. This is a great place to go when you're in the mood for really great Mediterranean food. The service has improved from before, and I applaud that, but it is not consistently great (on some busy nights, if you're seated near the register, you can hear the staff grousing about this and that and they are sometimes clearly in no hurry to serve you.) From a dining standpoint, this is their only weak point but it has definitely improved from previous years. Overall, a great place for Mediterranean food and fairly priced.
(4)Dina H.
So far this was the most decent Mediterranean restaurant in Grand Rapids. I would definitely go again! Prices were a little high compared to other restaurants. I wish the waitress would've told us the maza plate could feed 4 people. We ended up over ordering and taking home 4 boxes. Service was kind of slow but the place was not packed....but.... Garlic pasted was amazing so I'll be back for more.
(3)GR G.
Tasty food, inconvenient parking. The menu looks almost exactly the same as another Med food place in town on 28th St. We tried a hummus app with lamb and then did the lamb shawarma sandwich combo with salad. What will keep me from coming back is that get wouldn't allow me to up charge to to my raw veggie drink, Cobra. The other place did it no problem. Kicker is, they didn't even offer me my included soft drink once I ordered the Cobra. Food was good, would have rated higher except for the drink situation.
(3)Ken M.
You won't go wrong here if you are even remotely familiar with the cuisine or are an Los Angeles transplant who knows what Zankou Chicken is. Delicious Middle Eastern food in Grand Rapids is totally possible here. They do the cuisine proud, and are very friendly.
(5)Skip B.
I have eaten here at least a dozen times as my wife and I love to go here before or after a movie at Celebration Theatre next door. It is consistently very good and we have never had a problem getting seated. I think I was subconsciously avoiding reviewing this place as I secretly hoped it would never get so popular I had to wait for a seat. But I decided I should share with my fellow Yelpsters since I travel all the time for business and rely on Yelp to keep me in good food so I owe it to share. The first thing you taste here is the included appetizer of Garlic Paste with fresh, warm Pita bread that by itself is great...but that Garlic Paste...OH MY GOD is that GREAT. I could seriously go there and just pay them money to bring me basket after basket of that bread and bowls of the Garlic Paste. It is the gold standard that any other place I go must live up to. It is THAT good. But man does not live by Garlic Paste and Bread alone...so we force ourselves to quit after one basket of bread (OK, I lied, sometimes we get a 2nd) and save room for the Kebobs. We have never tried anything other than the Kebobs because we like them so much. Each order comes with two kabobs, my wife gets the Lamb and I get the Beef. We share the meats so we both get some of each. I get rice. My wife gets fries. Their French Fries are really good and I REALLY have to try and force myself to not pick at my wife's fries and eat my rice to preserve my svelte figure. I have tried the chicken kebobs. They were good, but a hair dry. I also tried the Kafta (ground meat) kebobs and they were interesting but I still keep going back to the beef and lamb. I cant speak to the other dishes since we only get the kebobs. I really should try more of their dishes as they have an extensive menu, but the Kebobs are really good and the Pita/Garlic Paste are great and we really like the place. Someday I should try their other dishes but hey, if it aint broke why fix it??? I love this place
(5)Mark K.
The food was hit and miss. The server was kinda rude and didn't seem very interested in serving us or checking to make sure our drinks got refilled. The smoothie was very small and not a good value for the price. The only thing that was OUTSTANDING was the violin music that was played live. We went on a Saturday evening. He was good. Now just step up your food and service game and you'll be closer to a top notch establishment.
(3)Amy W.
The food was great, I had grape leafs with meat, lamb shawarma, hummus, shish kabob, pita bread and the garlic sauce. Everything tasted great no complaints at all. Now the service, our waitress was ghetto she had a somewhat smart mouth. The bus boy brought us more pita bread and tossed them on the table and when I said something she was quick to defend him stating he was in a hurry. I would go back for the food but not the staff.
(5)Bryan B.
Food was amazing. Service was amazing. There was even a violin player. Our server Rounza should be voted server of the year! You need to eat here! so convenient next to the movies and Meijer with a take out option as well. :) .
(5)Anthony G.
This was not my first experience here as I dont like to review based on first impressions. Every time I have been here the food has been a ten. This is by far the most authentic Mediterranean food in west MI. The garlic spread with pita set the mood for whatever dish you choose to go with. My personal suggestion is the hummus, falafel and tabouli sandwhich. If you're feeling adventurous try the kibbeh and meat grape leaves. Certainly suggest checking this place out.
(5)Valerie L.
LOVE this place! As soon as you walk in, you expect an authentic experience just based on the décor! There's a front room with lots of tables & booths and an adjoining room that's separated by a doorway to the right. In the back left of the restaurant is the kitchen with a stone oven that warms the amazing, hot pita that is served immediately as you walk in. They also bring out toum, a white, pasty, oil & garlic dip. If you like garlic, it's one of the best things on Earth! My husband and I cannot get enough of it. The hummus & tabouli are both delicious. I like the chicken shwarma which is tender chicken wrapped in a pita with more toum & pickles. My husband likes the lamb shwarma. The lentil soup is also amazing-- green & hearty, served with a lemon slice, although not served (temperature) hot enough for my taste. The lunch special is a great deal-- a sandwich, soup, and drink for $6.99. The dinner entrees are also very good, but a lot more expensive. The service can be slow especially during dinner, but most of the servers are nice. Sheshco is located right next to a movie theater and self-serve frozen yogurt joint, so it's a great place to go for a date night (if you don't mind leaving with garlic breath!) I'd go here on a weekly basis if I could!
(5)Frank L.
Great food at really decent prices. I had a lamb sandwich with chili- both were super solid. They bring out Lebanese bread with an olive oil/garlic emulsified spread- omg it's good! Server was super nice and the people around me were overheard and they expressed profound satisfaction and satiety with their full dinner meals. A really solid mid eastern offering.
(5)P M.
Our favorite go-to place on the north side of town. The vegetarian feast for 2 feeds our family of 4 with leftovers to spare and has something for everyone. Get the Arabic coffee and fresh-squeezed Lemonade. To. Die. For.
(5)Laura H.
Food was delicious. The pita is served warm with a garlic spread that is to die for! Consistently good food, I love the falafel wrap and Greek salad. Place is clean and service is good.
(5)Abi D.
Slowest. Service. Ever. Food was "eh." Lunch is cheap but takes an hour and a half for them to bring out bread, salad and a sandwich. Save your time.
(2)Amanda L.
Full disclosure: My office ordered from here for a catered work lunch. I have not eaten inside the restaurant so this review is of the quality of the catered food itself, not of an entire dining experience. First off I LOVE anything with garlic so Mediterranean food is right up my alley. I have no issue with purchasing garlic sauce and dipping my finger in the container to eat it straight up in all its olive oily, garlicky goodness. So when I saw the office was ordering from Sheshco Mediterranean Grill, I knew a major portion of my dish would be reserved for a taste test of their sauce. Although not as garlicky as I would like (but I realize I'm an abnormality), It's one of the creamiest garlic sauces I've ever had. For those just trying Mediterranean, I think you will find it to be a delightful introduction to garlic sauce. In fact, for those that are new to Meditation food, Shechco is a good introduction to this style of food. All the "right" ingredients are there to help you learn what you like and don't like. For those looking for the authentic Mediterranean cuisine, you may be disappointed; it's missing the spice and kick of traditional Mediterranean food. The rice was a little on the dry side but topped with chicken it tasted alright. I wasn't a fan of their lamb (also a little dry) but dipped in the sauce it was better. While we didn't get traditional pita bread with our order, the rolls provided tasted great in the humus. Speaking of, the humus really was outstanding. Similar to the garlic sauce it was really creamy but had a great kick to it. Again, I only had their food as it was catered in the office so a visit to the restaurant is in my future. When I go in, I'm going to ask if I can kick up the spice factor a notch to make it more authentic. I'll post what I find out!
(3)Sophie C.
One of our favorite restaurants. We love the Shoah kabob platter for 2, it feeds my husband and 2 young girls. The bread and garlic mayo is the best! Very friendly great service!
(5)Kellee K.
Funny story. Eric and I (mostly Eric) were craving Middle Eastern food while we were in the movie theatre. We were discussing our options, and then we saw the commercial for this place - most conveniently right down the sidewalk as part of the Celebration Cinema complex. It was fate. We entered during dinner hour. A man was playing live music on his electric violin. Many Middle Eastern pictures and artifacts hung on the walls. You can also see straight into the kitchen - not sure if this is an advantage or not, but we didn't mind. We were seated in a booth by our waiter, who offered friendly and helpful service. We woofed down the delicious pita bread and garlic spread, which is hand made and baked in a gas oven. We each ordered a sandwich (4.99 each) - lamb ghallaba for Eric and veggie ghallaba for me. Each sandwich is rolled in a pita to make a long, thin wrap. I thought it wouldn't be enough, but surprisingly the sandwich was very filling and appetizing, filled with onions, mushrooms, and peppers grilled to perfection. Eric's lamb tasted juicy and succulent. We also ordered the veggie combo platter (11.99), which came with hummous, tabbouli, one falafal, one spinach pie, two grape leaves, and your choose of grilled veggies or salad. The grilled veggies (zucchini and carrots) were spiced well and made a nice addition to the meal. The falafal tasted strongly of onions, which might be a turn-off. Eric also didn't like the hummous, which had a very light taste. I however enjoyed it. Bottom line: The ghallaba sandwiches, tabbouli, and bread are all excellent. We had wonderful service. Go for either lunch or dinner. Mind over matter. Food over mind.

I used to go to Le Kabob on Alpine a LOT until Shescho opened up. Initially, they had some kinks to iron out in the kitchen, but now their food is on point and it has become one of my go to spots. I can recommend: *fresh juices: cobra or potassium broth (+ apple) *spicy hummus app *fatoosh salad - add grilled chicken if you like *falafel sandwich w/ hummus and tabbouli *chicken and kefta kabobs *chicken gallaba (make it spicy if you like) *lentil soup *garlic spread and pita bread (free and delicious) The proprietor Ali is usually around and he's a nice guy and great chef. If you go on a Friday evening, you can catch a live violinist playing a (digital) violin over some backing tracks...I've seen him twice and really enjoyed it. I would give this place 5 stars except I believe they could do a better job w/ carryout orders. I order from here frequently and am usually told the order will be ready in 15 minutes when in fact it often takes them closer to 30. Not really a big deal for me because the food is always great.
(4)Jeff W.
Outstanding food. Great service. I highly recommend the shawarma combo. I heard excellent reviews before coming here and they still exceeded my expectations. We will be back regularly.
(5)Chris B.
Had a family dinner here on night. While there we had excellent service and the quantity of food is quite generous. It is not the best Mediterranean food I've ever had though. With your dinner you do get some bread and a garlic paste that is amazing.
(3)Scott C.
Enjoyed the food, but service is lacking. We had multiple servers alternating taking our order and bringing us food, and they became confused at times and I even heard them argue over who had the table. Not very professional. The hummus and garlic were good. I ordered the Chicken Ghallaba, and really enjoyed it, very good. Portions were big and took food home to enjoy the next day. I've really become a fan of Mediterranean, and we'll be back, but they need to improve their service.
(3)Ryan R.
Food it's alright, nothing special. Had a lot better at other more specialized places (vs just "Mediterranean").
(3)Jenny W.
I was in the area and noticed that Shesh Co had opened, so I stopped in to grab a quick lunch. I ordered the lamb schwarma and it was pretty good. The only kinda off thing about it was the pickles they put on it. I am used to pickles, but these were just the regular old sliced pickles you would get a burger. I guess I'm used to a different pickle on mine. In any case, my food was excellent and the price was more than fair. So after my great takeout, a group of us decided to go back today for lunch. It was a pretty decent lunch crowd, and I think it was just too much for the kitchen and waitstaff to handle. Our salads and soups came out with our meals, or for a couple of us, after our meals. There just didn't seem to be any organization in how things were being done. They ran out of iced tea while we were there, which is what most of us were drinking. Eventually we all got the food we ordered and the food was excellent. Hopefully next time we come in for a sit down meal things are more organized. Dinner can be a bit more casual, but when you have a limited amount of time on your lunch hour, things need to move along and there isn't time to keep fixing things.
(4)Danny A.
Even though we were happy with their appetizers, we were disappointed with their main entrées. I mean, how can you mess up grilled vegetables. Hard in the center, zucchini being too watery and seeing evidence that their vegetables were frozen. Waiting 30 mins + and being served luck warm rice...a very disappointing experience. Never eat at a place that serves frozen vegetables because you never know what else is frozen or other shortcuts they take. $60 better off spent at PF changs
(1)Janine M.
I love this place. Watching them take the pita from the oven straight to my table and then popping it open for the steam to escape is worth the trip alone. But everything I've eaten there has been excellent. Probably the best garlic sauce I've ever had... and I love garlic sauce. Prices are reasonable. Fantastic food. Small and cozy. Love it! Highly recommended.
(5)Eric C.
We had the pleasure of dining here today for the first time. My wife and I loved it. I'm always open to new dining experiences. Our son & his wife first told us about it and I have been angling to visit ever since. The menu is huge and our waiter was very helpful explaining different choices to us! We have definitely found a new favorite in Grand Rapids!
(5)Anna P.
Okay, so my experience at sheshco was pretty bad, the only reason I'm giving it a three instead of a two is because there is a lot of potential. We went on a Sunday and just an hour before closing so it seemed like no effort was put into making our food. I do absolutely love it when I am given garlic dip, that stuff is the shit! The pita bread was good too. The hummus and the tabouli were super average. The baba ganoush was on the smokey side but not overly smokey. The falafel has pickles in it if you order a regular falafel which is something I hate, so pay the two extra dollars for the falafel with tabouli if you want a more authentic experience. The falafel is green though so that's a bonus. The pita the falafel was in was not awesome, sorta crunchy. The big problem was the eggplant with tomato sauce and feta appetizer. It was so chewy I couldn't take it. I basically cut off the top and tossed the rest. The tomato sauce was good though, it was pleasantly spicy. So overall I wonder if it was a problem with the time of day we went. I hope so because I am often in that area and it would be nice to have a rad place to eat.

I didn't realize I hadn't updated my review in a while. I've become a fan of Sheshco now. I usually go for lunch and their lunch special is pretty good. A nice sandwich, soup and break for like $7 or so. Not bad for what you get. The chicken shawarma is my favorite sandwich along with the lamb chili. Good to warm you bones in the cold. I still love their garlic butter with bread. If I didn't look like a weird pig, I just might eat just the bread and garlic spread.

We have been here a handful of time and are never disappointed! The pita bread with garlic spread is sensational. We have ordered a wide variety of items, the lentil soup, chicken kebabs, lamb Schwartz, a little of everything. We will be back.
