House of Kebabs in Newton

[SaxChik]

I was up in Sussex County visiting my sister last weekend for Crawfish Fest in Augusta. After eating Cajun all day, we needed something different for dinner. We decided to check out the House of Kebabs in Newton (be warned, the website has music).

At first glance, it looked to be only take-out with a small market, but upon further investigation, there was a nice little dining area (3 2-tops and 3 4-tops). They put out warm pita with what we think was tahini. We also ordered some plain hummus. Quite nice, very creamy.

For dinner, I had the straight up lamb shish kebab, my hub and another diner had the lamb adana kebab (ground, seasoned lamb) and my sister had the falafel. The meal started with a big salad they call a shepherd's salad. it was diced cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and onion dressed in a vinegar dressing. Each dish was served with bulgar rice, carrots, red cabbage and onions. The plating was very pretty (mold of rice, big scoops of carrots, onions and cabbage), then the meat, all around the rice.

The food was wonderful. The meat was nicely seasoned and moist. I really enjoyed the rice. We finished the meal sharing baklava, which was served in 4 little pieces with whipped cream.
