"We had planned to visit Konoba for Mother’s Day but couldn’t get a reservation so we visited last night. The food and service were both excellent, the best we have experienced in Huntington since the start of the pandemic. We feel like other restaurants have been cutting back on quality and quantity due to inflation but it was obvious that wasn’t happening here. You might pay a little more but you can tell that they put a lot of effort into what they are doing and the portions are large enough for leftovers. Very unique food and flavors you won’t find elsewhere and presented beautifully. Try the bureks and lobster ravioli, make sure you try the Croatian wines and beers, you won’t be disappointed, and we already made our next reservation."

"We had heard about this restaurant from a customer of ours and decided to give it a try. We went on line to get directions, saw the unfavorable review from Valentine's day, and had 2nd thoughts. So, we called a relative who lives near the restaurant (we are about 10 miles away). She said it very nice, so we tried it. We went on 2/15/10 and were very happy with it. We sat in the main area, not the smoking section, so I only saw the ceiling where we were. It was fine, the service was good, the place was clean, there was a container of napkins on every table. We got more food than we could eat,(a fresh salad, vegetable, potatoes, or main entree and coffee). With our over 20% tip we were still under $20, It is a simple, but nice place to eat. If you don't want to cook, want a very good meal, served quickly, at at very reasonable price I recommend it. I did not give it 5 stars only because it is not a fancy place, but I wasn't expecting it to be."

"Best dinner of the year! AND we eat out every night, so saying this was the best dinner this year... that's saying something. Came here last night for a date night. We have been a few times previously. My wife wanted the surf and turf for two. So, that's what we ordered. At $60 it seemed like a bargain. It featured ribeye steak, crab cake, cauliflower, green beans, rainbow carrots and garlic mashed potatoes. It was served with sides of remoulade, bearnaise and demiglaze. First off nothing was pedestrian about this plate of food. I have no idea what kind of green beans they were. They were long, flat and wide. Kind of like a Lima beans in its shell, but tender and sweet. There was cauliflower that had bright white tops but green stems. Never seen that before. Carrots were rainbow colors. The steak was seasoned perfectly, maybe had even been brined. Tender to the point I didn't need a knife. The star of the show was the demiglaze. Literally the best I have ever had. So good that I asked the chef if he made it himself. I was disappointed to find out the answer was yes. I was hoping it was something that I could procure from some specialty shop. But no. Only a chef with extreme pride in the craft would go to all the effort to make a demiglaze like that. That same pride echoed throughout the plate. The mashed potatoes as included. Not too rich or fat laddened, yet full of flavor and a perfect accompaniment to the veggies and the steak. We ended up having an apple crisp for dessert. It came straight from the oven with a big scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream. It gilded the lily. Everything was amazing. And, I got a small amount of demiglaze to go. In the end, I found the specialty shop I was looking for. ?"

"TLDR: Wings were terrible. Nothing like the pictures. I added the salt pepper on the wings. Great for people that rate quantity over quality.For readers: My overall experience across the United States has been, usually, in areas where the overall population survives on a lower middle or working wage, you find what are called “hood classics.”Small businesses that serve large, flavorful portions of food for an affordable price. I like to visit these businesses and update their reviews, usually for the better of the business.Unfortunately, Kensington Pizza missed the mark.The differences between the prices on their website and in store $4 or more) can be explained away by rising food/rent costs but the food quality cannot.The good: The wings were BIG!The Bad: could very clearly taste that they were fried in really old and burned cooking oil.The wings were fried hard really hard. They were tough to get down. I added a bit of salt pepper and it immediately improved the overall flavor.Pros: portions are large. They have a HUGE menu of offerings, it’s family owned, and the guys running it are prettyMost unique offering : Fish and grits for breakfast!"

"For my main course, I ordered the lamb koobideh kabob. The lamb was incredibly tender, almost melting in my mouth, but the texture wasn't quite right for me. It was similar to ground lamb formed into balls, and I think I prefer a bit more fattiness in my lamb dishes. The portion of rice served with it was enormous—I couldn’t finish it. Overall, the restaurant had a peaceful vibe, but it could benefit from a bit more ambiance or additional patrons. I noticed that their hours stated they closed at 9:30, yet new customers were arriving around that time for dinner, which felt a bit odd. Our server was very friendly, and the prices were quite reasonable."

"Exceeded expectations. Quality and fresh ingredients cooked directly to order with texture and bright colors. It’s not just rice and beans, but rice and beans done right with unique additions and flavors added in. Would’ve liked more shrimp per order but the whole plate is a step, if not two, beyond typical flavors in this cuisine! Looking forward to trying more of their wide variety in the future."

"How you going to add $3 for delivery fee and not have it on the menu or say there's a fee and also charge $1 for side dressing when it comes already with the sandwich you tricking you're customers that's unacceptable and not"

"Fabulous, all around. Our waiter, Michael, is the best. He's taken care of us before and we were lucky enough to get him again. Maya, another member of the wait staff and friend of my son, also stopped by the table everyone is so friendly there. The food is stellar such a variety of dishes and we did our best to try as many as possible! I called the day before our reservation to ask a question about the menu and the hostess must have written a note to the server who somehow, miraculously presented us with a favorite dish that wasn't on the menu that night. What service and attention to detail. The chefs, wait staff, hostess, bartender all super. Thank you for a great meal and experience."

"It 's Sunday and we have just come from the Polish Festival in New Britain. 'Twas a blast, but now we need food and we want a good deal. Well, Shish is one of the places on the planet that offers a Sunday happy hour. Can you believe it?! So here we are! Atmosphere/Appearance: This is a restaurant of many different faces and it 's pretty cool. The outside is very inviting with a few tables and chairs to dine out in the sunshine. Inside transports you to a world of where all of this wonderful food comes from. The decor is amazing and something you truly have to see for yourself. The bar itself is enormous with every kind of liquor you can imagine available. I have no idea how they set this up, but there are so many separate dining areas that it 's easy to get lost inside, but each area different from the last, but still represents the culture. It 's super cool. For this occasion we dined in the bar, being it happy hour. Service: I think his name was Mark or something, but my memory was hazy seeing as I had a few cocktails before my arrival. He was the bartender and our server. He took excellent care of us and put up with our drunken shenanigans. We appreciated him. Food: We started off with their chicken pita burger. It was so good and it 's hard to describe. It 's a thin pita with lettuce, tomato and ground chicken that 's been grilled with a whole lot of spices. Freaking delicious. I wound up eating 2 of those. We also tried their pumpkin puree. Who serves pure pumpkin puree by itself?! These guys and they 've earned their right to do so! It was so good. Sweet, spicy, thick and it just balanced out the flavors of the other foods with it. We ordered one more thing, but looking at the menu I can 't ever recognize what it was comparing it to my picture. Lol. It was okay though. Chicken burgers and pumpkin puree ALL DAY. Value: From 4:00pm to 7:00pm every day of the week they offer several options for $3.00 a piece and a few others for $5.00 a piece. A great deal. The chicken burgers were $5.00. The pumpkin puree was $6.00. Even looking at their regular menu the prices seem extremely reasonable for it being West Hartford Center. I will definitely come back here... sober and have a real meal. This place has earned it and I look forward to that day!"

"The foulest restaurant! At this restaurant the overwhelming issue is cost. To keep costs low the restaurant actually re-uses all seasoned oil that is put on the tables for dipping in bread. They then bring it back out to other people who are eating the saliva morsels from the previous persons oil dish. YUCK! The hygeine standards of those preparing the food is beyond suspect as well. Also all the bread that is on each table and touched and picked at by guests that is not used will be later turned into crutons for the salad. Thats disgusting! The service at the restaurant is good but is limited to the extremely slow execution of the food. Most of the steaks recently are a brown and not a red color before they are cooked leaving me to wonder about the quality and freshness of the food all-over. Also when tipping your sever with a credit card they will actually only receive 90% of that while the restaurant/owner pockets the other 10%! Slimy!"

"I absolutely adore this restaurant! The food is always fresh and delicious. My family and I order from DoorDash every other week and recently decided to have them cater a private event. They arrived promptly and all the food was securely packed. The staff is incredibly kind and personable, both on the phone and in person. I am grateful for their exceptional service and for being so understanding and friendly when my child had a meltdown at the restaurant. Thank you!"

"The sushi at this restaurant is decent, and the bibimbap is good. The location feels a bit bare, but they were able to accommodate us last minute for Valentine's Day, which we appreciated. However, the service seemed overwhelmed as it appeared that only two women were managing the entire restaurant, including hosting, serving, bartending, and taking to-go orders. The service style was more transactional, as they took our orders and delivered them to the table, but they rarely checked in on us. We would have likely ordered more from the bar if our server had been more attentive."

"THANK YOU! THANK YOU Shamm! We went to this beautiful restaurant and were warmly welcomed. The owner is such a great person, here is why. I parked at useless Afrah parking and they called the tow truck, and lifted my car. Shamm's owner sent his guys to help me out ASAP. He helped me get the cash back and HE DID NOT CHARGE ME FOR THE FOOD. Although it was my problem. He is very hospitable. He honors his guests. The food was full of flavor by the way. I love it!!!"
