[UC] New restaurants - Kabob Palace Review

Title: New restaurants - Kabob Palace Review



I ate at the Kabob Palace about 2 weeks after it opened. The kabobs are amazing. Hands down the best I've ever had. They had a full menu but, after we got our heart set on a few items, they explained to us that they only make a few of the items each day so be sure to ask before looking at the menu. The portions were large (we took enough home for lunch the next day) and the price was cheap (under $15 for two with drinks). The main entrees we ordered - a lamb stew and a vegetable stew with okra were very flavorful and a nice heat to them but were a little greasy for my taste. I'm not sure if they were still working the kinks out or if that was the way it was suppose to be. There was a family with children behind us and a couple on a date. On the opposite side of us were 2 tables of men. I'm not sure what their country of origin was but I gather this food was second hand to them and they seemed to enjoy it. I assume they were taxi cab drivers from the number of cabs in the lot. All in all, it was a nice place - and fun decor. I plan to go back soon.

Can anyone give us a restaurant review for Kabob Palace, the recenty-opened 
restaurant in the building which was once the American Diner, on Chestnut at 
42nd?  How about the new Vietnamese restaurant at the corner of 43rd & Spruce?  
I haven't tried either yet, so I hope to hear about someone else's 
experiences.  I also just saw that The Restaurant School is offering a special, "order 
one entree in the American dining section, get the second one free," so if 
you're really hungry or dining with a second person, that's another place to try.  
Of course, I'm not forgetting my favorites, Marigold, Abbraccio, Rx, Vientiane 
& Dahlak, so it isn't necessary for someone to write and remind me about them.
