Mimi's Kabob Turf Valley — Restaurant in Ellicott City

I drove kinda like 45+45 (two way)😜 I was disappointed for trying again desi food and be sorry… but WoW 🤩 hands 🙌 down amazing 😍 I Loved the food fresh tasty 😋 generous cheap out standing … I highly recommend this restaurant, calm and cozy environment design. The amount of food is incredible generous than other restaurants, you get a fresh bowl 🥣 of salad 🥗 and green sauce for free, I asked for bread 🍞 to pay later but the owner didn’t charged me for, meat was fresh tender and juicy. Rice 🍚was the best quality one!. The price was cheap than what you get, so it really worth driving that long, I will definitely go back any time there my favorite from now on! Next time I will try thier Lunch Special $12 for almost 6-7 course of meal 🥘 wow sounds amazing 🤩 na? Just a little suggestion the dumplings 🥟 dough was a bit thick and I prefer abit more onions 🧅 inside beef 🥩 dumplings 🥟. Thank you 😊 so much, please don’t mind ha!!! I was so excited and hungry 🤤 to take pictures before eating 🍽️. I highly recommend this restaurant you will not regret it and going to be agree...

Pros: Love the overall selection, even if it is slightly limited in my opinion, and the straight forward menu. The staff has always been responsive and proactive.

Cons: The atmosphere isn’t particularly welcoming for a dine-in if you’re in company of female friends and family members, in my experience.

Two of my female friends refuse to even entertain the idea of eating here based on three separate...
