Khorasan Kabob House — Restaurant in Wayne Township

I am new to town having relocated from the food desert that is Billings, MT and while I have not had access to this type of food in several years in Billings, I am well traveled, including some time in the Middle East courtesy of Uncle Sam's Canoe Club and I know a fair bit about the cuisine. What I found today at Khorasan Kabob House was a humble family making some fairly humble food but with care and love. I had the stuffed grape leaves with meat and they were some of the best I've ever had. Clearly hand rolled and served with a housemade yogurt that I could have easily eaten on its own. They were served with what they call chutney but to me was more like a thin salsa verde. It is apparently made with green tomatoes, cilantro, mint, some type of chili and lime juice. I'm sure there is a bit more to it but that's the main ingredients and it doesn't matter, the stuff is outstanding! I tried it on the dolmas first and then added it to my main course and it just brought already great food to a higher level of flavor. For my main I had the Combo Kabob which was one skewer each of lamb and chicken, both apparently marinated and then grilled. The chicken apparently had a fair amount of turmeric in the marinade as it had an inviting yellow color to it and both skewers were served atop a heaping portion of some really nice basmati rice. It was also served with a salad on the plate consisting of iceberg lettuce and shredded cabbage along with several slices of roma tomatoe and cucumber. The dressing was excellent and reminded me of the Ken's Steakhouse Vidalia Onion Dressing. I also had a terrific piece of garlic naan to go with my dinner and finished it off with a hot cup of milk chai and a slice of bakalava. The milk chai was made from scratch and takes several minutes to prepare so be aware of this when ordering it. The baklava was probably not made in house but regardless, it was a really nice piece with pecans, a nut I've not often seen in it but a welcome respite from the typical almonds, walnuts or pistachios more commonly found in it. It was also fairly heavily spiced with ground cinnamon and was just a really nice accompaniment to the chai and an overall perfect end to an altogether excellent meal. This will definitely be on the top of my list of favorite restaurants here in Sioux Falls and I can't wait until me next visit when I can try another item on the menu. This is a local business run by a small family and they are putting their heart and soul into this wonderful food. Do yourself a favor and give them a visit. You won't be dissapointed. Oh, and go hungry. They don't skimp on the portions and the prices are pretty well on point for the quality as well as quantity of food. The only reason I didn't give them a full 5 stars is because the lady server wasn't quite as attentive as she should have been and I had to get up and go ask for a couple of things, but on the other hand, I didn't mind being left alone to enjoy the food either so they still deserve very high marks. Great pace. Go see for yourself.

Just a quick reply to the response from the owner... First, thank you for responding to me personally. I love that you are able to do that. I just want to say again that I had a wonderful meal and will be returning to try several of the many options you have available on your menu. I appreciate you clarifying the baklava question for me. I assumed it was not made in house since you told me the ice cream is not and for that I apologize. I was wondering about it as I was eating it because it was so good and now I know for sure. As for the service, please understand that it was not intended as a criticism but merely an observation. I actually appreciated that I was given the opportunity to eat without interruption but as just a personal preference, I would have actually liked it if you or the gentleman there would have checked with me just once more so that I could have ordered the bread sooner but that's just me. It was in no way a negative on my wonderful experience and I look forward to...

We didn't get to eat here because it was super busy. When we walked in there was a bunch of rugs rolled up and neatly piled to the left across from the register and kitchen. Small dining ares w\2 bigger tables for larger groups. The gentelman that welcomed us right away said it might be a bit of a wait and apologized for not having space for us, he was very welcoming and nice. We asked the older lady working the register, bringing out food and taking orders if we could do reservations. She didn't even look at us when we talked with her, she was busy looking at the screen in front of her putting in orders and told us that they don't take reservations. She wasn't as nice as the gentleman which is understandable as she was very busy. We scanned the menu and didn't see anything that really caught our eye except for the meal for four. We would need to order two of those for our family of 8 and it was $75, it would've been $150 which is a little high for our normal. We'd definitely like to come back and try the food here, it smelled and...

My son requested dinner from this restaurant for his birthday. It says here and on the website that online ordering is available. So everyone decided what they wanted and I went to order. I used Caviar because it is listed and the other options listed didn’t seem to work. When I arrived to pick up my order, the employee tried to hand me a menu, so I repeated myself, saying that I ordered ahead online. He said they don’t accept orders online. I showed him the confirmation of my order. He said that wasn’t his problem. I showed him the restaurant’s website where it says you can order online and lists the apps you can use. He said that’s not his problem. There’s a decal on the front door with one of the apps listed! They took my money but wouldn’t give me any food. If that’s not a scam, I don’t know what is!! Please don’t give them your business, they...
