I knew this place was there. I see it. I have heard of it. I just never got around to trying it. Then one afternoon, I desolately thought about the horrible cafeteria food I would be doomed to eating since I didn’t bring a lunch and a fellow Yelper, Marianne M, sent a message asking if I had tried Janet’s yet. Good thinking Watson! Off I went to Janets. I retrieved a menu online and called in our orders.

It’s a little hole in the wall place with plastic/formica table and chairs and the kebabs grilling right in front of you. You pick up food and place orders at the counter. Not a place for a date, but a place to go during your work lunch hour or to pick up food to go. My friend found her lule kebabs a bit overcooked. My salmon kebabs were wonderful. Yea, they could have been a bit less cooked, but still tender and flavorful. The falafel and tabouli was good. What we all loved was the hummus. “Smooooth”, was one description. “Not too beany” another. My take was so flavorful and spicy. They have a variety of appetizers from fava to soujouk (Armenian sausage), entrees from shawermas to quail, and sandwiches, salads.

Definitely a good place to hit for lunch or a quick inexpensive dinner to go on the way home.

Parking can get a little hairy at lunch hour. It’s hidden in a shopping strip on the South side of the street.
