Shish Cafe

Lavash wrap is very good- avocado , cream cheese , and some lemon and pickles . Don't forget to try the sweet potato fries with the garlic sauce , and really don't forget to try their cake , because OMG.

Back for the first time since their renovation. Tried the falafel bowl “with pickles ” - excellent! And the Arabic tea was a nice accompaniment.

The Shish Maza plate is a must: order it and you get the restaurant 's beautiful hummus , a scoop of tabbouli, freshly shredded baba ghanoush , and a trio of roasty falafel balls . Read more

The gyros and falafel are both great. I get the wrap gyro and have enough for tomorrow's lunch . The way they serve the tea makes you think you're not in St. Paul anymore, Toto.

Gyro is great and the hummus is delicious, but the real find was the Mediterranean Chicken Sandwich . Will be back for that.

Shish has breakfast ! The foul meddamas is great- and very filling. As well as the avocado fried pita with egg .

Shish Taouk was great. Chicken was tender and juicy. The humus - outstanding texture and taste, with extra veggies - fresh, fresh, fresh!

The sweet potato fries are crispy and delicious and served with a lovely garlic dip .

The Kefta Burger is probably the most tasty burger I have ever had.....and I like to consider myself a hardcore burger lover so that is saying a lot!! Go try one, now.

If you like trying lots of different things, try the Jerusalem breakfast - you can design a different bite every time!

the falafel benedict is one of my favorite breakfasts of all time

The Chicken shawarma is phenomenal and the gyros are all amazing

The food is excellent, local family owned. Chef/owner Leo is hands on and assures every guest leaves happy

The cheese pie , crepes , and Kefta burgers are amazing and they have THE best sweet potato fries in St. Paul.

Loved the shish burger and the hummus . Delish!

Get the first booth facing the window - fun to see the movement on Grand and yes, good people watching .

They have the best carrot cake around!

My favorite is the falafel on pita ! Make sure to extra hummus too

On Mpls St Paul's list of Insider Eats. Recommendations: Breakfast From My Village & Chaksuka & Shish Breakfast

Try the green curry . I dream about it at night. We drive all the way from Mound to eat here sometimes.

Try the Shish Trio - The lamb tasted the best! More sautéed veggies instead of rice is much better.

Breakfast is awesome here. The Shish Breakfast : Gyro and eggs over a pita with cucumber sauce and roasted potatoes . Also: great falafel

Everything here is amazing - gyro , hummus , pita , Turkish coffee , dessert .

I love their falafel ! The food comes out quick and is pretty cheap !

This place is the real thing. Anything on menu is amazing. Try something new!

Excellent choices, fresh lamb , and great spices as well as a friendly staff . The dessert case will exceed your wildest dreams!

Lots of gluten-free options here. Try the chicken shawarma (no pita ) or Shish burger . They won't even look at you funny when you order them with no bread .

Traditional gyro , cauliflower soup (pepper heavy) and spinach pies .

Probably the last place we'd seek out Red Velvet Cake , but we found it. Oh man, did we find it. Outstanding.

CHICKEN SHWARMA , amazing. Order it with a side of their chili sauce . So good!

Try the red tea and the chicken shar with hummus . So much flavor. You won't be disappointed.

Definitely try the Gyro Wrap , simply fantastic.

Dope handwritten chalk board menus.

Shish taouk and falafel appetizer- amazing!

Lamb kebabs . That garlic sauce that comes with them is marvelous!

This place is amazing. The owner (Leo) is a genuine guy, and you get more than you paid for. Try the fattoush salad or the lamb burger .

Try the spicy feta spread! Get 3 or 4 sides with pita chips .

Best Gyro wrap I have ever had. It's cheap and fills you up. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Also the fries make a nice side.

Awesome hummus . One of my favorite places to eat.

The Spinich Pie is so fantastic for a Veg appetizer .

The Kefta Burger is to die-for. Beware the lunch rush. Get the coffee . Always.

Usually I only give positive reviews, and I’m sorry to make an exception. The place is cute but the burgers are over cooked and awful. And the guy didn’t apologize for serving my bunless burger wi bun

The gyro and humus entree is a must!

If the owner were a decent person, I would go here daily! Unfortunately that's not the case, steer clear if you care about morals!

I seriously have cravings for the horchata . Delicious. The food is wonderful also. ;)

Try the Israeli breakfast . Also, their baklava is the best around.

Crabcake eggs Benedict is so good!

A staple every time I come to the twin cities

Masa Mix with extra Falafel . Guaranteed Heaven.

Get the Shishwich with goat cheese . No questions. And baklava . And herb fries . And some Turkish tea ...
