The Hot Spot Grill - Lakewood

I see this place was rated by only 4 people and had a 3 star review. Way under rated. I've been there for take out last several months 4 or 5 times. Always been very good. Probably would not give it a 5.0, probably closer to a 4.5 ,but I'm rounding up, especially in light of the undeserving low reviews. Only criticism is their baba ghanouj is gets about a 3.0 it is rather bland and doesn't have the smokey flavor I like.

Excellent food, very kind staff, regularly great atmosphere. They charge convenient rates and the food quality is fantastic. Keep up the good work.

This place is obviously one of the finest restaurants in the neighborhood. Always when I go there I am exceedingly glad. They hold their very high level service and the highest level of meals they serve. You always win with this place. Warmly recommended.

I don't like giving bad reviews but i was disappointed in so many areas with the food. The garlic sauce was so unpleasant because of how bitter it was (and I've had many garlic sauces) The chicken shawarma was very dry, as was the Kebob. Everything from the salad to the tabbouleh seemed to lack salt and or lemon. The hummus was almost tasteless. The only thing that was pleasant was the beef donair. Maybe next time I'll just order the Indian food.

They have good chicken biryani. The chef was friendly and talked about different dishes. It's not usually busy so you can usually sit immediately.
