Caroline Coleman Just had one of the best meals of my life at Nawals Kebab House and Grill, across from Prien Lake Mall next to Fiery Crab.
Y’all, this place might be the best kept secret of LC. Everything about it was phenomenal, from the ambience, to the incredible service the owner provides, to the food itself. The owner really customized the dining experience for us, making recommendations on what to try and bringing small garnishes and side dishes throughout the meal to complement our food. For example, he brought a garnish for the hummus that he thought we’d enjoy (we absolutely did) and brought rice and bread for my husband to dip his cream sauce in. For dinner had the Nawal Special and the Blackened Fish, which was covered in a rich, creamy sauce/gravy. Guys, it was incredible. My favorite part od rhe whole meal was the Kibbeh. Imagine the crispiest, meatiest, most perfectly fried crab cake you’ve ever had, but instead of crab it’s minced ground beef and flavorful herbs, that’s the best way I can describe it. I could have eaten 10 of them. The meat was so tender and juicy but had the perfect seared edges. The grape leaves were so tender and meaty, and the rice inside was cooked perfectly. I wish I could describe every part of the meal and give it the credit it deserves, but words don’t do it justice, just go and see for yourself!
A big plus for me was the ambient lighting and music that fit the vibe. It made for a very pleasant atmosphere where we wanted to take our time talking and enjoying the meal.
I hope this restaurant succeeds because I can safely say it’s the best Greek and Lebanese spot we have here, in my humble opinion. And I say that knowing that the competition is fierce!
Pictures in order:
