Coming soon. Sort of.

Dueling Kebabs

Since the argument

Two cartoon cooks mid-argument, one brandishing a wrap and the other a kebab skewer

The story, depending who’s telling it

Two lifelong friends, one heated disagreement over whose family kebab recipe reigns supreme, and a truce that only held because someone suggested a restaurant instead of a duel. (The name stuck. The duel did not happen. Mostly.)

Every dish on this menu has survived at least one shouting match in the kitchen. We do not do fusion. We do not do bowls. We have strong opinions about cumin and we are not sorry.
