   Egyptian chef cooking here in a chic restaurant inside a strip mall. Attractive interior, although very cold ! ( ladies bring your jackets). Food review split between our group of 4. Some folks loved the “ special spice “ added to rice and many other dishes; others hated it. But great variety and uniqueness of menu. However, drinks not very innovative, and service less than attentive. We have heard their 3-5 pm special for $19.95 is a bargain.

   We have been to Shabo’s several times, the food is always great, no complaints at all. The only issue is getting in and out of the parking area.

   While the food was excellent, the service was slow. Admittedly, our server had only been working at the restaurant for a few days, however, she consistently forgot ordered items such as the soup and serving utensils. We'll no doubt give it a second try after season is over.

   Delicious lamb shank and mushroom risotto and shrimp risotto. Good house cocktails with fresh hummus, babaganoush and pita. Check it out, early bird menu looks great too!

   Food was fantastic. 4 of us had the Christmas Eve special of Prime Rib. All agreed it was seasoned perfectly and cooked to the temperature ordered. The Branzino and Mushroom risotto were excellent. The beef kabobs were cooked perfectly. The mushroom soup and baklava received high praise. We were greeted and seated timely. Service would have been rated higher had the Bar service been more timely. There was a long delay in receiving our drink order. Staff were friendly and very apologetic.

    Truly the worst experience. Chose the restaurant from the internet being close to our house. It was Christmas Eve afternoon and we all decided what we were having before we got there. When we got there they had limited menu and none of what we wanted was on there. I understand doing that on Christmas Eve day but I wish they indicated that on their web page. My husband wanted to leave to go somewhere else, but I said, “let’s just stay and give the food a try”. There were 4 of us and nobody was happy with their meals, very tasteless, poor presentation, and one meal (prime rib) was way overcooked to the point it couldn’t even be cut without struggle. It was returned and the second plate came out better. I had a wine and asked for a side of ice 3 times. Finally when I ordered my second glass, I said “and I’ll have a side of ice with that”. I did get it that time. The waitress was not up to par and they weren’t even busy. They only had a few tables of patrons. Living close by, we used to go when it was Gino’s and loved it. Very disappointing to say the least.
