Boca Skewers

Fancying myself a lover of Mediterranean/Persian cuisine it was about time I made it @bocaskewers in downtown Boca Raton. This quaint, strip mall restaurant has been around for about 15 years. Now I’m not certain, but it appeared that the entire place was run and served by just two people, which while makes the wait a bit longer to get served, vies for its authenticity. You can really taste it In the food, which I can surely appreciate. Starting with the roasted eggplant topped with house garlic sauce, I was delighted with its fabulous consistency and flavor and accompanying fresh pita. The lentil soup served with each dish was quite delicious as well, not being too starchy or thick. For the main dish we have the chicken soltani with its accompanying kefta kabob. Both were supremely tender and flavorful, a great combination indeed. For a price point of $20 a plate, I would have possibly like a slightly larger portion, but overall a lovely choice when you’re in the mood for this fare. It’s really a kind 4.5 stars.

Fantastic food. Everything is notably fresh and healthy. They have chicken down to an art--it comes to you so moist. Whatever you order, make sure you also try the garlic sauce! The lunch special is an excellent deal with lentil soup before your entree of choice. We love this place so much, we usually order their chicken and falafel catering for an event for 50 people and receive many compliments.
