The mushroom and steak kebabs were okay but the chicken and kefta were outstanding. The only downsides are we saw our server only 3 times, order, check in and bill and the seats in the front of the restaurant you’re sitting right next to another group of 2 or 4.More infoKirby ClubPrice: Expensive• Middle Eastern• Merrifield•4.5
