Shish Palace - Taylor, Taylor

The Mediterranean is known for many things: the glamorous beaches of the French Riviera, the historic exploits of Aegean sailors, and the fragrant spices and hearty food of the Lebanon's coast. At Shish Palace, cooks honor that third tradition, turning authentic Lebanese kitfa, beef, and chicken into kebabs, shawarma, and other staple dishes. These meals aren't just delicious; each one is made with the freshest ingredients and imported spices, and is 100% halal-friendly.

• Rave reviews: "Best restaurant that I've been to in a long time. Will come back. The people who work and own this place are friendly, and very proud of their food and service. We ate way too much because we wanted to try everything. I strongly recommend it."
