" I find it a bit overrated to be honest. The food was good but not mind-blowing. The kabobs were tender but they lacked the depth of flavor I expected. The service was alright, not particularly warm. All in all, it was a decent dining experience but I don't think I'll return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just okay. The service was slow and the atmosphere wasn't warm. If you’re looking for a quick meal, this might not be the place. The kabobs didn’t have the smoky flavor I was hoping for, but the spices were decent. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for this place after hearing so many good things, and I have to say the kabobs definitely lived up to the hype. They were tender and perfectly seasoned. However, the service was a bit slow, and it took longer than expected to get our food. Still, the quality of the food made up for the wait. I'll definitely give it another shot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Chef Malek was an amazing experience! The kabobs were incredibly juicy and packed with authentic flavors that reminded me of meals I've had in Iraq. The atmosphere is simple and cozy, making it perfect for a warm dinner. The staff was very accommodating, asking if we needed anything extra. I highly recommend trying their traditional hummus and freshly baked bread! " (*Curated Review*)

" The service at Chef Malek was quite confusing. We ordered the quzi and waited a significant time for it to come. When it arrived, it did taste good, but it was not an experience I would rave about. There was miscommunication with our order, and although they tried to be helpful, it left me feeling frustrated. It's a shame because the food has potential. " (*Curated Review*)

" Chef Malek’s has a varied menu with options for everyone. I tried a mix of dishes, and while some were excellent, others didn’t meet my expectations. The gourmet kabobs were impressive, but the sides felt a bit lacking. If the sides were better, this would definitely have been a five-star experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing about this restaurant, I decided to check it out. The ground meat kebab was by far the best I've had—flavorful and authentic. The service had its ups and downs, with one waitress being really attentive while another did not check on us. The overall vibe was friendly, and I felt welcomed. " (*Curated Review*)
