"Shish has been a Grand Avenue mainstay since 2006, offering a variety of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Palestinian owner Leo Judeh, a former Olympic boxer, brings an equal passion to his cooking, delivering bold flavors that pack a punch. Standout breakfast items include the falafel benedict with sauteed sumac onions and a tahini drizzle, or the Shish breakfast, made with gyro or chicken shawarma, cucumber sauce, and two braised eggs atop toasted pita. Don’t miss the Turkish coffee — an intense, aromatic brew that’s a must-try for any coffee enthusiast." - Matthew Awad
