Great ambiance, delicious food, and ice creams to die for.

Hands on to their cook, and their customer service was wonderful. The food was amazing! The lamb was juicy, tender, plenty of flavors. The chicken kebab was delicious and juicy too, It was not dry at all. The rice was perfect. the food has plenty of flavors! Customer service was amazing, family oriented. We are definitely coming back again.

Passing through Modesto and came across this gem! The food was excellent (had the lamb offerings - rack of lamb and Baghali polo - and wow! did not disappoint!!! Excellent service in a very relaxed atmosphere with tasteful background music. Do not pass this if you have the opportunity.

Upon entering the decor is very classy and you can see the bar to the right and if you look to the left you'll see an elegant wine cellar. We were seated after a short wait. Talk about setting the mood here. There is ambiance. The booths are romantic and to be honest it made me feel special and it inspired excitement to explore this world of ethnic foods. Our server knew exactly what she was doing and she was amazing. We sat in a booth and she dimmed the lights a bit for us after she heard my friend say that the lights should be dimmed. She memorized our order and was genuine in the way she gave service. The food was delicious. We started with the Hummus Duo and Greek salad. Best Hummus I've ever had and such a fresh Greek Salad with this Kalamata Olives are a fave of mine. My friend ended up requesting more olives for me, so sweet right?Our main course was the family combo and oh my, the soft fragrant rice on it's own is a winner. The kabobs are so succulent and tasty. The Filet Mignon was my favorite. The grilled vegetables were superb. We ordered a Prawn Skewer just to try it out and it was grilled just right and not overcooked. We ate and just kept saying Mmm....Mmm. We decided right there that this is worth returning for. Another staff member aside from our server checked on us as well. I observed the staff and saw that they are a team with great communication. A couple of observations worth mentioning as to why I gave 4 and not 5 stars. Hear me out on this. Skewers Kabob House is a very nice dining experience and is upscale in my opinion, and the staff reflect that, especially in their appearance. Our server was very polished in appearance, as well as other staff members, except for one. I noticed a server with a very messy bun with a creme colored scrunchie. Her shirt was unbuttoned more than the other staff and slanted a bit, making her appear very care free. She was loud and a bit animated when talking to other staff and it was enough to catch my attention and take notice. Another thing worth noting is the restroom, which was littered in toilet paper. Also, the bar was loud( on a Tuesday- smh I know right this early in the week lol) and towards the end of our meal we could hear the noise coming from the bar. On my way to the bathroom in between the bar, restrooms and kitchen there is a mat, and that too was littered with little bits of paper and what not from the floor. Again, you notice these things and in a fine restaurant such as this you expect not to see these things. Aside from that, the food is incredibly delicious and the service is exceptional.
