House of Kabob | S. Colorado Blvd.
House of Kabob has been serving up tasty Middle Eastern and Lebanese food— the titular skewered meals plus staples such as hummus and baba ghanoush (bless you!)—for more than 20 years. Nice touches abound, like the reddish-purple ground sumac used as a garnishing spice on rice, and a deliciously cool tzatziki dip. My grilled kabob of choice is Koobideh, which is usually made from ground beef but is wonderfully enhanced here with 20 percent minced lamb. Sheepishly, I recommend Lamb Shanks for dinner, an exquisitely trimmed whole shank cooked in garlic sauce for four hours and served over saffron rice. The manager, Ahmad, is a wonderful host, brimming with stories. On weekends, he’ll convince you to allow belly dancers or the hookah bar to add some spice to your dining experience.
Diplomats take note: Middle Eastern peace exists in my stomach.
