Kabob House: More than Just a Restaurant

I wish I was a world famous food critic writer; I would let everyone know about Kabob House restaurant. I remember going there for the first time and since then, I always went back. Kabob House restaurant has an interesting atmosphere that always settles my state of mind, and makes me feel happy. Each time I go to Kabob House, I leave with not only a delicious piece of kabob, but with a fascinating piece of education about different cultures. The reasons why I think it is the best restaurant because, it serves its customers the best tasting food at a good price in a clean, comfortable place.

Every great thing started with its own unique history. Before talking about my experience with Kabob House restaurant, a little background on Kabob House

is necessary. According to the “Our Story” page on the Kabob House Restaurant website, Kabob House has been a synonymous with Middle Eastern fine dining for over 20 years (About). In an interview with Faraidon Osmani the owner of Kabob House, on the Idaho Statesman website, Osmani was a refugee from Afghanistan, who once owned a restaurant in Moscow, Russia for ten years. He arrived to America in 2005. He tried to open a similar restaurant in Boise Id.Osmani accomplished his goal in 2013, when Kabob House on West Emerald Street served its first Middle Eastern plate to the Treasure Valley foodies (Dutton). In the Interview Osmani said, “I see a lack of various food styles in Boise. Opening this restaurant with authentic food adds more diversity here. I also like sharing our food and culture here, and I think this is a great way to do it. (Dutton). There is no other restaurant in Boise that serves the same food Kabob House serves. Kabob House serves different kinds of dishes from different cultures.
The exaggerated and diverse dishes on the menu that Kabob House offers, satisfies everyone. No matter how picky a person is, Kabob House provides something for everyone. My favorite thing to order is the chicken kabob it is a tender chunks of chicken breast, marinated in special herbs, spices and broiled over the grill. they serve it very tender and juicy and full of flavor. Kabob House not only serve delicious food, but also has a great service.
Lots of restaurants serve good food, but not all have very good service. The service at Kabob House is perfectly marvelous. When eat there, the waiter and waitresses welcome me as if they have been waiting for me. They make their customers feel welcomed and happy to see them. when I get there, they take me to a table and asks me what I want to eat. Even if the restaurant is full and busy during lunch hours, The servers try their best to get your order on time. Servers stand by each table to make sure to answer all questions and to refill water for customers. They are willing to help and answer any questions customers have about anything. Once, I had a friend visitor from out of town and I took her to Kabob House. We got to the restaurant just before the restaurant close in ten minutes. They let us in and treated us with honor. My friend was really surprised by the great service and the quality of the food. The servers are very alert and sweet without being overbearing.
The Decor at Kabob house is just as unique as their food.

The restaurant's interior is tastefully decorated. It gives the atmosphere of the middle eastern culture. In the restaurant, there are lovely stitched pictures above the seats, and in front of the windows, there are some seats surrounding hookahs. There are two authentic looking seating cushion areas. They are done in ornate red silk and really add to the atmosphere. The red decorations on the walls give that ethnic feel. The seating stools are very colorful. I love how the decorations combines several traditions of India, Afghan, Turkey, and the Middle East. Kabob House has something for everyone to enjoy. “We are not only sharing our food with them, but we also share our culture,”said Khaliki (Alger). The decorations sets the mood of the restaurant and the culture. The atmosphere evokes the Middle East not only by decorations, but also the music and dances they play. Kabob House has dancing performance sometimes. One of the dances they performed was belly dance, and Indian dancing. On one of my visits to Kabob House a dancer explained to me that there is no rules to many of the dances, but rather the music tells them what movements to take. People who go to Kabob House get lots of knowledge about different cultures. Kabob House share their cultures through their music and

dances.
