A low-key vendor of the standard Middle Eastern menu, the Shishkabab House is better than you might expect, given the location and the typical quietude of the dining room. It is well-known among Muslims for being 100 percent halal. (Halal is the Islamic equivalent of kosher, and is a criterion of quality, as well.)
The restaurant opened shortly after Hurricane Katrina, taking over the former location of the Fortune Gardens Chinese restaurant.
An L-shaped room is rarely busy, but everything is freshly cooked and vividly delicious. It's a family operation, and sometimes the younger members get involved.
They don't sell any alcoholic beverages, so have your drinks elsewhere.
