This is on my short list of favorite Middle Eastern restaurants and glad they opened a Trenton location. The Shish Tawook is amazing and what I normally order. If you like Kafta, you will enjoy the appetizer Malek's Kafta(pictured). They have a spicy garlic that is out of this world! If I'm being completely honest, the service could be improved. The service at their Taylor location is much better.

Malek Al Kabob Trenton
· $$$$ · trenton · Strict-vegan verified
Fully vegan
Editor synopsis · 0 reviews
Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Yusuf was absolutely amazing!! He explained the menu asked if we had any questions was so polite. The the bone chicken was absolutely amazing so tender we got the dark meat The full boneless chicken was enough for three people to eat plus we took a little home. There spicy garlic sauce is the bomb! Would highly recommend this place to anybody bathrooms were super clean as well as the rest of the restaurant. This will be our new Mediterranean spot! Also their bread is homemade and great!

Spent a little over $28 for a large feta fattoush salad with chicken that came with no dressing and about half a chicken breast (the chicken split between me and my boyfriend was six small cuts each).. The lentil soup was good. You also get 2 pita bread. I always get it when I place an order. In my opinion, the salad was not worth it. Needs more protein for the price and dressing!! The salad alone is $22.
